California Vacation

We bought a new van, then drove it to Malibu, California the next day! We really put it to the test and I'm very happy with the purchase.

2004 Toyota Sienna - 8 Passenger with 70,000 miles

I took the girls and went with my parents to my older brother Tom's graduation from Pepperdine Law School.

Moira, Tom and Kella 5/22/09

Moira and Allie - Graduation dinner at the Rusty Pelican in Newport Beach


The day before graduation we spent at Disneyland. Both girls had a wonderful time!

Moira seeing the castle for the first time!

Moira was so excited to meet the Princesses!

Talking to Belle

Snow White's wishing well - 9:15pm and both girls going strong!

We left around 9:30pm and Moira fell asleep on Aunt Allie's shoulder before we even got on the parking tram.

We also spent time at the beach.

We had a great week! The drive was long, but the girls did OK. Moira wants to go back again already!

How fun! I'd like to take my family--before they're all too big to care.

I bet Moira loved the princesses. Did she get to sing her songs for them? I bet they would have been impressed. Looks like you had a nice time. And you got your self a nice looking van!

Yes, she did sing her songs for them. She met Jasmine too, but I didn't approve of Jasmine's outfit so I didn't post a pic.

I'm glad to hear she sang for them. That would be good to see. =) I'm glad you had a fun time and so did the girls.
