3200 miles, 4 different hotels, visits with Grandpa’s, Grandma’s, aunts, uncles, cousins, good friends and Mickey and Mini, a trip to the beach, Padre’s Baseball game, and lots of time in the car. We had a fabulous time and thanks to friends and family who hosted us along the way. Special thanks to Alex, Zach and Syd who are great car travelers and can handle long days in the mini van. (warning long and lots of pictures)
Playing catch on the golf course by Grandpa and Grandma Richardson’s.
Taking Syd to Disneyland for the first time.
Riding Roller coaster rides. Syd was just tall enough to ride some of the bigger ones. Forget the Teacups and Dumbo, her favorite rides are Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain
Syd enjoyed lunch with the princesses.
Zach loved the Tower of Terror and can quote it.
Alex conquered his fears and survived California Screamin two times
Cris and I survived dodging the stroller in and out of all the other thousands of people who think June is a
Spending time with the Richardson side of the family.
Walking around in our Richardson T-shirts in downtown San Diego and hearing comments of passerby.
Cheering the Padres on for an extra inning win.
Cousins dancing and cheering loud for the chance to be on the Padres jumbo screen. They made it twice.
Spending the day at beautiful Coronado Beach with family.
Spending time with friends from AZ at a beautiful Beach house in La Jolla.
Visit’s with our favorite neighbor Bob and good friends the Hale’s.
Hanging out with friends just like the good old days and swimming at the Winters.
Visiting with Grandma Terri, Frank and Andrew and hanging with the Richardsons.
Life is Good and now back to reality!
Grandpa John and Grandma Debbie
Happiest Place in the World - less the thousands of other people there and hot weather!
Lunch with the Princess - she finally smiled with Cinderella.

| This picture is for you Grandpa Wood! |
 |
| Take me out to the Ball Game! |
 |
| Perfect day at Coronado Beach |
 |
| We caaught up with the Liljenquists who were staying in LaJolla. Zach and Ben were best buds when we lived in Phx. We also got to visit the Newport Beach Temple grounds. |
 |
| The downside of moving from AZ - leaving Cris' family. Cris made a successful dive through the pink tube after his Scott showed him how it was done. Ever the competitive brothers! |
 |
| These boys picked up right where they left off - swimming at the Winters' Chase, Christian, Hunter, Alex and Zach |
 |
| The long drive home. After a night in St. George, we made our annual stop at the cheese plant in Beaver. Best ice cream and fresh cheese. Thanks Grandpa |
 |
| Richardson Crew - less Grandma Debbie who was taking care of her Mom. Missed you. |
Post Edit - this blog post took FOREVER. Spent two hours using old blogger method only to accidentally delete it. Sigh! And that was after lots of time editing photos (thankfully on a long plane ride). Then I got smart, Jake you will be proud, and upgraded my blog to post and move pictures in a much simpler fashion. Although I still couldn't get the last picture in the sequential order. Oh well. Time to move onto another project. Like download pics from Chicago and Indi and send to Gma Terri!
