Capistrano Beach

After 5 years my family decided to take another vacation to Disneyland! It was much needed and planned for October 9th through the 15th. We were all set and ready to go! After many bumps and worries the day finally came and we hit the road!

We stayed in Kindra and Vaughn's timeshare in San Juan Capistrano, CA. It was right along the Pacific Highway and across the street from the Capistrano Beach! Outside our hotel balcony you could see the water...it was beautiful!

On Sunday we decided to take a day off from Disneyland and spend some time at the beach. We loaded up the picnic and headed across the bridge to the beach.


Me and Jimmy on the beach. One of my favorite pictures from the trip!!!



Since we were going o Disneyland I decided to be creative and painted all of the girls' toes red with Mickey ears on them. You cant really see the detail of them but I love feet pictures in the sand and this was just too cute to pass up!


After we ate lunch we decided to build a sand castle with the sand toys my mom rented from the hotel. Here our the engineers hard at work!

Kindra and Renzo headed to the water.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

On Friday September 11th I picked Jimmy up from work to get the news that we were given tickets to that nights' D-backs game in an hour!

Jimmy's boss has season tickets with two seats three rows behind home plate and we had been trying for months to get them! The boss's daughter was supposed to go t0 this game and had an emergency come up and couldn't go!

We hurried and got changed from our work clothes and hit the road so we wouldnt be late. The game started at 6:40 and we got on the freeway just about 6:15...talk about speeding ;)

We got to the park and were pretty much escorted to our seats. I laughed at one point and told Jimmy that I felt like I was breaking so many rules by being in that part of the stadium!

We got to our seats and I could not believe how close we were!


I took this picture right after we sat down...you could see the players mouths moving!!! I bet if we looked enough we could see the sweat coming down their faces too :)Seriously, I felt like royalty!!!! We had our own waiter that came and took our order for the restaurant below us. He came back and forth every twenty minutes or so right until the end of the 6th inning. This is him printing tickets for everyone in our section right about the 6th inning.
I was so excited to be there and told Jimmy I wanted something to take home as a souvenier. We decided to get the popcorn in the hat to do just that. Unfortunately the popcorn was a little stale but I still got to take the hat home :)

When the game was over we watched the Fireworks show above the stadium and listened to patriotic music to celebrate the 9-11 anniversary.

It was an awesome night!!!!! We even got a reserved parking spot with WHITTON on it :).
