(California Adventure entrance)
Wow, from 115 degrees yesterday in Hemet, CA to 60 degrees and rain in Portland... gotta love it! I think we're all excited to be back home, maybe not ready to go back to work, but there's something about getting back into your old routine of things I guess. We had a great time visiting the majority of Molly's family in SoCal. I'll put some photos up here in the next few days starting with a few today.
Here's basically what we did the first 4 days:
Friday - Flight to Ontario, CA (late flight got to Hemet about 12AM)
Saturday - Drove to San Diego (see pics) met Molly's cousin Bertha and baby Orlandito at cool shopping area called Seaport Village, which is right downtown. Then went to Molly's cousin Carmen's house in San Diego and had a bbq.

Sunday - Drove to La Mirada (Orange County area) to Molly's cousin Julian's house to bbq and hang out (see fireworks). They are a super cool family and we had fun catching up with them. The kids had a great time getting to know their cousins, playing Xbox/Wii, setting off fireworks and swimming.

Monday - Disneyland/California Adventure, we decided to stay at a hotel close to the parks so we could take full advantage of the outrageous prices they charge to get in ($500+ for our family for 2 days). Monday was the good day as far as wait times for rides. We spent most of our day at California Adventure. Caleb and Alia could go on almost all the rides except for two. Their favorite rides were probably Soaring over California and Grizzly River Run (you get wet). We were going on 3 late nights in a row and were really tired so we didn't stay out too late.
