HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA

The final leg of the "Smith Spring 2011 World Tour" was in Huntington Beach, CA. After spending a cool and windy day on the beach, we ate some burritos and headed back home.

DISNEY VACATION - PART I

We just returned from a trip to California, which included 3 days in Disneyland. We spent 30+ hours in Disney and California Adventure Park. Marley got on just about every ride in the park and many of them more than once. We also managed to catch a variety of shows at night and had breakfast with the Princesses. By the end of the trip we all had sore legs and feet.



The family arrives on Sunday afternoon.



The kids are officially in Disneyland.



The fun begins.




Marley prepares for her first ride....on the roller coaster.




The roller coaster is a hit with little people and big people.
