Forks Twilight-Ville

 Yup we did it, we went to Forks!

 I admit i fell for the Twilight movies, call it what you will I loved the teen drama/angst/love triangle.

 The town has milked it for all its worth and it really has worked for them.

 We were on of  the sucker too, but the town itself was quite beautiful.
The museum was really interesting, full of logging history which hubby loves.

Disneyland

I had never been to Disneyland and it was of course somewhere i have wanted to go since i was a kid.

Well we did disneyland, hard.

Besides the roller coaster type rides we managed to get on every ride.

I fell in love, totally got soaked up in the whole "Happiest Place on Earth" deal.

It has a rich history and Walt was a pretty interesting character.

Kids had a fabulous time and other than dad getting a stomach flu on day 2 we throughly enjoyed ourselves.

Road Trip

We had the opportunity to go on a holiday, short notice but we knew where we wanted to go.
We packed up the van and headed south.

We put on just shy of 5500 kms in 12 days and made it down to San Diego and everywhere in between.

Beaches, hotels and lots of pools...... and reststops!

SOme days we drove for 12-15 hours and the kids were absolutely perfect.
I kept expecting meltdowns or any such thing but not even one.

It was a grand Road Trip, A perfect family Holiday.

Memories were made.

And duty free was great too
