At the beginning of this year, I told Mike that I really wanted to go to California this summer for our family vacation. He was a little hesitant at first, so we thought about it for a few months. Finally after looking at tickets, he decided it would be something good for us to do, so we called up Grammie and asked her if we could come visit for a week. Of course she said it was, so we planned the dates and purchased the tickets about 3 months in advance. I was getting so anxious! 3 more months, 2 more months, 1 more month! Then it was finally time to get packing! Mike had never been to California, so he didn't really know what to expect. I was born there, and my family would go visit almost every summer when I was growing up, so I knew it would be a good time.
The day finally arrived and we left for the Salt Lake City airport first thing in the morning. After grabbing some Subway for lunch and running to Wal-Mart for some snacks, we were off to the airport. Landon loved watching all the planes coming and going, and he was even lucky to see a pilot waving at him!
We landed in San Jose a little after 4pm, and we just hung out with Grammie and grabbed a pizza for dinner. The next day we headed out to Santa Cruz to visit the ocean and the boardwalk! The weather was perfect, and we all had a good time. We ended the trip with a nice milkshake.
