Our Last Minute Cali Vaca!

Due to some recent events (Matt was let go from his work which is really a blessing in disguise) we decided to take a quick last minute vacation to California to visit Matt's family and had a blast! I took a TON of pictures so beware!!

We headed out to California on Friday (June 17th) and though it was the longest drive Abby has been on to date she did remarkably well! We arrived at Matt's parents house in Apple Valley around 5pm and enjoyed the evening catching up.






We had to stop by Cafe Rio in St. George for some lunch, I mean who doesn't love Cafe Rio?!




When we finally arrived in California Abby was so ready to stretch and move around!!










On Saturday (June 18th) we visited with Matt's brother Thom, his wife Sarah, and there three super cute kids up in Big Bear. We watched Luke play his last baseball game of the season and then spent some time at Thom's house (aka mom and dad's old place) and played aorund.







































After some fun time together Matt, Abby, Matt's mom, and myself went on a walk by Big Bear Lake. It was so beautiful!




On Sunday (June 19th) Matt celebrated his first official Father's Day with his baby girl. Matt's brother and family came down from Big Bear and we enjoyed more time spent together.























On Monday (June 20th) Matt's parents surprised us with a trip down to San Diego to visit the San Diego Zoo! We were completely shocked and so excited!! We had so much fun with Abby looking at all the animals, it was a ball!

Monday night we stayed at a hotel in San Diego and the next day (Tuesday, June 21st) we went to Sea Port to look at the ocean and do some shopping at the cute stores there. It was such a beautiful day and though Abby wont remember this trip much it was fun to watch her experience all the new sights and sounds.





















Sadly on Wednesday (June 22nd) we needed to head back home. It's always such a bitter-sweet time coming home. We had such an amazing time, I can't even believe how lucky we are to have such unbelievable family!
