Summer 2013

And we are back! So a lot has happened since my last (and very first) blog post. in no particular order: my daughter had Open heart surgery, my Mother in Law passed away, we got pregnant and more. So our travel plans were pretty much put on hold for a while. We actually just got back from a very mini trip to Chicago and Milwaukee (my first time in Wisconsin) but I'll blog about that trip another time (it was literally an in and out job for a nephew's wedding. The twins had a blast!)

So we now stand at 36weeks pregnant and are starting to think about our summer vacation! YAY!!!! G-d willing we will finally be able to take our vacation FINALLY! Gosh its been so long I'm so excited! So the plan right now is to go to San Diego and Los Angeles in the summer for 10-14days! I had planed this vacation awhile back but lost all the information that I'd found due to computer transfers etc. so I get to start over! Which to be honest is not so bad since the twins are much older then last time so I need to plan more for them to do! Plus I'll have a 4 month old with us! (guess we are traveling with a trio now)

So we for sure want to go to the zoo and wild life park (our kids love animals) we also might want to go to Sea World (again kids love animals) we want to also go on a whale watch (my son says: On a boat? Yes G. on a boat! he jumps up and down) then they over heard me mention to my Darling Husband (DH) that I think there is a new ride in Disney that is Pixar Car's themed. He says NO DISNEY! Don't worry we will do Disney again WHEN WE HAVE GRAND CHILDREN!!!! (did I mention he was not a fan of Disney when we went) But G. overheard the conversation "I want to ride Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater (we have no TV he has NEVER seen the movie but gets stickers in therapy and is totally in love with them. He can name all the cars, he is obsessed) So our daughter B. pipes up "There a Dora ride?" I told her I had no idea, and made a mental note to discuss sensitive trip details with DH when the kids are in bed! So we are going to look at possibly going to Disney for ONE day but we will see. B. would really get a kick out of the princess's (again no movies all courtesy of stickers from therapy). We need to decide where we want to stay because while it looks like a lot of our activities will be in San Diago the Kosher restaurant options and kosher food options (think ICE CREAM!!!!!!!) would mostly be in L.A.

We will be flying South West so I need to see what our flight options are (since I highly doubt we are getting a direct flight from Pittsburgh) DH has a free companion fare on SW so we only have to pay for 3 tickets to get our family of G-d willing 5 to California!

So I'm off to do some legwork and planing! Wish me luck and stay tuned!
