Been a long time
There has been a lot of craziness around here lately with the most recent being me getting sick and having to go the ER. I just got my x-ray info back on Wednesday and I actually have pneumonia! I am on an antibiotic and was told to rest. I asked how that was possible with a 17-month old and full time job. At least I have a great husband that tries to help. Also, I probably wouldn't have made it to this point if my parents hadn't come almost every day the week I was really ill. Thanks mom and dad!
So what have we been up to? Well, we had a family mini vacation in Palm Springs - just the three of us. The Brett's birthday, which we celebrated by staying at the Grand California and attending the Food and Wine Festival's "Taste" event at Disney's California Adventure. We had an amazing VIP room with a balcony right in the park - awesome.
Next, we drove to Santa Barbara for the graduations of Anthony and Cherise from UCSB. And somehow we thought it appropriate to drive the same day from SB to Oceanside to begin a 5-day family beach vacation. This was all topped-off by a graduation party for my brother at my parent's house. Maybe this is why I have pneumonia?
Oceanside was a lot of fun because Gramps lives there and we were able to spend a lot of time with him. Kate loved the sand and water immensely but it is really hard to get sand off of a baby butt. One night, Brett and I took Anthony and Cherise to the fanciest, most expensive restaurant any of us have ever been - and I've been to some top-notch establishments. It is highly rated restaurant in Del Mar called Addison's. I highly recommend it if you want a special evening. The service was beyond high-end and the food was French gourmet at its best.
The beach house we stayed in was so nice and comfy we took forever getting out of the house each day. Good memories. Below are some pics from the graduations and beach.
Oh and an OC Fair photo competition update - "Temple of the Dog" and "OC Glam" made it in! I am so excited since I have never done anything like this before. As far as I know I didn't win anything but my goal was to just get in the exhibit. There were 2800 entries and less than 800 made it in. So make sure you go to the fair July 9 - August 10 to check them out!
