California Recap

California dreaming....

We (as in Hailee, mom and bunch of MVHS girls and I) went down to California for the FCCLA National Leadership Conference. Even though we went to some meeting and heard from some great speakers we also got to play a a lot too. Here are some of the adventures we went on.

HUNTINGTON BEACH!

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE the beach, I love summer, I love warm weather, and love water and what a perfect combo at the beach. That could be why I am so happy in this picture. haha.

We built these sand castles, okay not really but they were just on the beach, there was probably a dozen or so, but they were so cool and amazing.


We dipped our toes in the water.

We walked down to this little Pier here, it was quite a ways down, but worth it.

DISNEYLAND!!!

Disneyland- is suppose to be the happiest place on earth right. Well basically it was. We had so much fun, luckily we had 3 day passes so we didn't have to stay all day. This was Hailee and I first time going to Disneyland, and hopefully not the last.

We saw Princesses. The first Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty we saw were walking away and we were following, they were a little mean. Then we saw this Cinderella later and she was much nicer. When we saw Ariel we followed for a second, and we were first in line to get pictures.

We went through Mickey Mouses house.

We went on the tea-cup ride. It kind of makes you dizzy, but for some reason you feel like you have to go on it when you go to Disneyland.

We met the future Princesses of Disneyland (they think haha).

We went on lots of fun rides while at Disneyland, my favorites included Indiana Jones, Space Mountain, and surprisingly Its a Small World. I pretty much just love our faces in these pictures.

These were the fireworks over Disneyland. They were taken from MY HOTEL ROOM. Seriously having a Disney view was the best thing ever, considering how much I love fireworks. What a great way to end the day.

Dinner Cruise

My incredible mother set an incredible dinner cruise for us to go on one night. It was so nice to get away from meetings for an evening. We enjoyed sea food, pretty views and nice weather. Best idea ever!

Lastly it is a tradition to trade pins with all the different states while at the National Conference. LOOK at all of these little buggers I got. I was really excited about it doing it, probably more than the students. haha.



My favorite was the Florida one for a couple reasons A-that is where the National Conference will be held next year, and B-look at the arrow, it is pointing to the the last space shuttle to take off there. Plus out of every ones I saw from Florida, it was the only on to look like this.
