Movin' On Up...

Marcus and I took a vacation with our growing family. We went to Phoenix and to Anaheim. We found a killer deal on flights to phoenix. We stayed at two different hotels. Our first hotel was great it. We had a little spa in our backyard that the girls could play in during the day and Marcus could relax in at night. Then we moved to another hotel that had all the amenities. We have been to this hotel a couple of time and we just love it. The girls love to play at all the swimming pools they have. The room is so spacious we did pizza and a movie one night and ordered OutBack another followed up by smores. My favorite. There is a fire pit about 30 yards from our room so we would take the girls and all the fixin's and toast us some smores. The weather was just beautiful while we were there. It was about 100 degrees, sunny and not a cloud in the sky. From there we drove to Anaheim not a bad drive about 5 1/2 hours. We got there checked our stuff into the hotel and then went to the beach. It was Evangeline's first time there and Isabel's second time. Evie loved it and Isabel had an understanding this time of how small she is and how big the ocean is but she still enjoyed it. The next day we took our girls to Disneyland. We met up with some great friends from YWAM who we dearly miss. Then the next day we hit the beach again. Then we drove back to Phoenix and flew home. The only advice I could give is don't go to Disneyland at the end of your vacation. All the relaxation that we had went out the window. But other than that we had a wonderful time. I grew up taking vacations. I would give up a lot in order to take a vacation. It is a great time to spend with your family, I am able to visit with my husband really enjoy him and fall even more in love with him. Plus you can get some really good rates out there, you just have to look around.
