California Vacation & "The Happiest Place on Earth"

We rented a Beach condo in Oceanside, CA & the front door was about 100 feet from the ocean. How sweet it was. The condo grounds were so beautiful with colorful flowers, waterfalls and even fish ponds where you could feed the fish. We had a fun filled week. Here is a run down of the events we fit in:


*Soaked in the rays on the Beach of course, flew a kite, built sand castle's
*Watched beautiful sunsets, walked the longest & oldest wooden pier almost every night
*Jeff & my Dad played a round of golf in the hills (literally)
*Disney Land- The Happiest Place on Earth
*California Adventures
*Coaster Ride (Train trip) to Old Town San Diego
*Window Shopping (to broke to buy anything) in Carlsbad, this is where we picked up the train
*Whale & Dolphin Boat Ride


The beach was gorgeous, it was cool and the air had moisture. Dylan absolutely loved the ocean. Disney Land was amazing. California adventure was tons of fun. We were so excited to take Dylan, all in all he had fun but was a little overwhelmed and did not like waiting in the long lines & we witnessed a puss face from time to time. Dylan really enjoyed the train ride, it was his first train ride too. Old Towne San Diego was nice to stroll through. We visited the candy shop of course and watched them make salt water taffy. Dylan thought that was cool. We were about a 15 minute walk from the Marina & Harbor so we enjoyed good fish dinners and browsed the shops. We took a boat ride and we were very lucky to see a whale and enjoyed watching the dolphins swim right under the boat. Dylan's first boat ride, he was so excited we left the marina and about 10 minutes into the ocean he crashed and slept the whole time. He was tired I think the week was catching up to him. We walked the beach, flew a kite and watchend some really nice sunsets. We had a blast and were so sad when it ended. Enjoy the photo's
