Last week we went to Oceanside California for the annual Van Wagoner family trip. We had so much fun and we were so bummed when we had to leave. Casey's parents rented oceanside condos for each of the families and ours literally walked right out to the beach it was rad.
Monday we headed out and went to Disneyland and California Adventures. I had never been to either one so I was super excited. Casey and I kind of went off and did our own thing and rode EVERY ride in both parks (that intrigued us, of course). Tower of Terror was by far our favorite ride - we rode this one twice! The second time we rode it this little indian family was in the row behind us and their kid couldnt have been older than 3. I couldnt help but wonder his reaction to this ride would be and as soon as it ended I turned around to see his face and he seriously was in shock and clinged to his mothers arm. She was like shaking him asking him if he was breahthing - he was, but it was totally entertaining! Tough kid!
Dont worry that on the Indiana Jones ride, I left my camera in the pouch on the ride and we couldnt find it - so none of my pictures this day, will be posted!
Anyway, on Tuesday we went to the San Diego Zoo with our parents and Corey, Alisha and Matix. It was a super cool zoo and the monkeys were a riot.
On Wednesday we spent the entire day at the beach boogie bording and just hanging out. I LOVE the ocean! It is so beautiful and peaceful. We ended the night by going to Joes Crab Shack hanging over the ocean - like always, it was delicious!
Thursday morning before we took off to the airport we went to mom's condo for yet another great breakfast and watched the dophins. Seriously, every morning we saw dolphins and seals from our decks. It was so cool. Thursday morning there was a surfer out and the dolphins were literally swimming under and around him it was neat. I was totally jealous of him!
Thanks Pam and Kendall for the fun trip, we had a blast!
This picture was taken outside our condo~ notice the ocean and the amazing sunset in the background? So pretty!

6 Love Notes:
What Fun. I just love going on Vacation! Hope it was a Blast!
What?? That was the first time you had been to Disneyland? I didn't even know. We were sooo sad to see you guys go, I wish you could have stayed longer. It was good to spend some time with you. Cute pics. Love ya!
Hi Shelby... your trip looks fun. What sport is Casey doing in that next post at the Olympic Park?
Tower of Terror is our favorite too! Poor little 3 year old. And there's nothing better than a day at the beach, except maybe two days at the beach! I'm glad you guys had such a good vacation.
I didn't know you that was your first time to the magic kingdom either. I took Emma and Britta on the tower of terror three years ago in Disney world, so Britta was three and Emma was barely five. I hadn't been on it and Shawn told them they didn't have to go on the ride, just the elevator..funny huh... I have never seen them so scared they couldn't even scream and I will never forget their faces! Britta came off, looked at her dad and said..that was the tower of tears. It was very memorable.
That was such an awesome trip....I wanna go back!
