Coast to Coast

Abby and I just returned from visiting my mom in Los Angeles. We had so much fun. My cousin, Michelle, and her 5 month old baby, Luke, came as well. My mom was excited to meet Baby Luke (or as Abby calls him, Loot) for the first time. We went to Hollywood the first day and did some fun shopping. Day 2 was a fun-filled day at Disneyland. All Abby talked about was seeing Goofy....and guess who was sound asleep when we finally met up with him? Abby! She missed out on seeing Goofy because we all know you don't wake a sleeping child. Abby's favorite ride was It's a Small World. (When we went to Disneyland in November the ride was closed, so this was a special treat). She loved the music! After every ride Abby would say, "That was fun!" The highlight for Abby was meeting Tinkerbell. Abby ran right into Tinkerbell's arms for a big hug. It was so sweet and definitely worth the hour wait. We really had a fun day. Day 3 consisted of a lot of sleep...we were all exhausted from Disneyland. Day 4 was our beach day at Santa Monica. Abby loved looking for the birdies. Day 5 and 6 were spent at my mom's just visiting and relaxing. We all had a great time. It is so hard to come home. But this time was a little easier because Corey had spent 2 weeks in New York with work and Abby and I were ready to see Daddy. Corey had a fun time in New York seeing Central Park, Times Square, the Met Museum and he even went to a broadway show. This was the most interesting "family trip" we have taken being 3 time zones away from each other and on two completely different sides of the country, but we all had a really great time where we were. Thank you mom for a really fun trip...we love you so much and miss you already!
