On our last day we took it easy with a Beach day. We drove out around noon so the sky was finally starting to clear and went to Corona Del Mar which is only about 30 minutes from Annaheim and still stunning!

We even saw a baby seal taking a nap on the rocks! Wildlife ya!
There's Big Corona Del Mar which is a bit more like a Boardwalk but if you search for "little" its right around the ridge and you do have to walk down a hill from a residential area to get to it but hey parking is free and there's a bunch of rocks and fun sea caves to explore!

It was sunny and even the wind died down making it a PERFECT beach day! We climbed around on the rocks the majority of the time we were there but I also got to lay out in the sun and Braden waded in the water... (which as always was WAY too cold for me... sorry California but swimming is a losing battle at your beaches)



We hung around just long enough for the boys to get sun burned and then headed back to our hotel to swim at the pool.
We stayed at the Motel 8 which is prob a 10-15 minute walk to Disney's Gates but it was great! The room and beds were nice, it had a free breakfast which included waffles, toast, oranges, juice, cold cereal, yogurt, and packaged pastries (which we always pocketed a few extra to snack on in the park) and it didn't charge any extra fees to park there or for breakfast OR for WIFI! And the pool while being a little small was great as well!. I'd recommend it :)


While at the hotel I had to take care of some business involving closing on my house (not 24 hours from the time I'd be getting back home) and that took about an hour. Then we went to Bubba Gump ( prob my FAV sea food restaurant ever) which was right next door to our hotel! SCORE! (note: it is a little pricey but so worth it at least once..)
We capped off our trip with one more return visit to Downtown Disney so I could pin trade in some of the shops (I got some really cool ones BTW) and watched the 4th Pirates of the Carribbean movie in our hotel room before hitting the sack.

It was a spectacular California Adventure! I'd do it again for sure :)

Fall Carbon County ATV ride

Fall Carbon County ATV Tour Let me start off this post by saying that not only did this tour far exceed my expectations, but the entire area did. If you hear Carbon County, most people immediately ask "what is there to even do there," "where is that?" Then you mention "Price" which is on all the road signs when you head from SLC to Moab and you get a few nods.  WELL, time to change that.

NYC posts- Brooklyn & Central Park

NYC Day 2: Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan, and Central Park Despite the late night Broadway show before, we were up early and determined to hit the rest of the list. So first up was Brooklyn. It took about 40 min to get to the Bagel Store on Bedford Ave between 2 subway lines and less than mile of walking. Rainbow bagel with funfetti smear: perfection.

 The past week we went to California for Ty's family reunion at Shaver Lake. We drove through the night Tuesday and mistakenly our gps took us a crappy route by Highway 6 and through Yosemite... so it was slow going and a tad scary! I saw two deer on the road on our way that Ty totally missed! Woah! I was super sad that we drove through Yosemite and I couldn't see anything so we determined to go on our way home from the trip! So Saturday we woke up superrr early to have time to make some stops! so here we go....  Not 30 min. driving in the park and we see a cub black bear climbing a tree barely off the road! I made Ty turn around to snap a picture because really.. how many times do you get to be so close to one of these cute little guys? If nothing else went well... going back this long way made the trip worth it to me! We started the main loop with Bridal Veil Falls which was much weaker than it normally is... but the water dumping over the edge of a very tall and ste...
