vaca to the sunny side...

****i must preface this post by saying that i absolutely LOVE pictures... if you cant tell.... but i rarely look at the "slide shows" that people do (sorry! it takes too long), and i realized that doing collages takes away from cute pictures... so again, there are one million pictures on this post... sorry! its just how i roll****


we just returned from a sweet california vaca with the stapes...
{thank you joe & robyn, it was MUCH needed!}
this was mine and jords only time off of work ALL summer, so we took advantage.
our first stop was VEGAS.
we wanted to do a session at the temple, so we took an hour to find it...
we drove up, and it was closed. so we took lots of pictures instead.

and then we went to the strip for a few hours.
oxymoron? yes. [i forgot how much i disliked the strip...]
but stopping at anthropologie made it worth it.

and then our next stops were the outlets in primm (they're the best!) & barstow.
but i wont remind jord of having to go through that again....
so we continued on to newport.
it was a relief to finally see this sign, and reach this house.
{which was about 21 steps from the beach, awe ya!}

to head straight to this beach, and see this sweet little face!
we spent a lot of time & very relaxing days at the beach.


we had a sweet experience going to the newport beach temple together.

and we also made one of our favorite stops- to disneyland.
i dont care what anyone says.. i seriously love this place.

and what makes it even more of a good time is going with these peeps.
who i absolutely love.

especially this guy.



if you cant tell by this XL post... we had an incredible time.
can't thank you enough joe & robyn for such a fun vacation! we love you.
