Planes

Hudson has wanted to go see the new Disney movie, Planes, FOREVER (just ask him). And it finally hit theaters, so Johnny and I couldn’t help but take him. First however, we took a little detour to Lowes so he could build, Dusty, a plane from the movie. Then Hudson waited patiently—according to him—until the hour of the matinee arrived. And Disney did not disappoint. Hudson was thoroughly enthralled the entire time, and really enjoyed himself. And Johnny and I counted the outing as a success, because Hudson has not stopped making motor sounds and flying his airplane since.

Family Vacation 2013

We absolutely loved our family vacation to California this year. We packed in everything we possibly could, and had so much fun doing it. And even though bedtime, allotted movie time, sugar allowance, and any sort of schedule went out the window, we managed to have a really great time.

We loved Monterey. The beach was beautiful. We had fun building sand castles; we enjoyed collecting shells and glass; we were surprised at seeing dolphins in wild; we liked going to the Monterey Bay Aquarium; we swam in the swimming pool; and Elle loved browsing EVERY single gift shop.



We loved going to Six Flags. We rode the rides; we ate overpriced, not-very-good food; and we watched all of the fun shows.



We loved San Francisco. We played tourists, and hit all of the favorite spots.



We loved attending an A’s baseball game. It was Hudson’s first, and he enjoyed it



We loved visiting family and friends.



We love vacations.
