Maybe the title of this post got you singing and maybe it didn't. Either way, I am happy to tell you about the much-needed vacation I went on last week with my awesome family. It started for me when I flew to Utah for a couple of days. This was a very busy, fast part of the trip, but it was so fun to be back in Utah. As I flew in and stepped off the plane, I immediately felt like I was home. It was nice to feel that. No matter how far I am living from there, I love that it will always feel like home when I go back. Unfortunately I have no pictures from that portion of the trip. I got to see some good friends, and of course, my family while I was there.
After my time in Utah, I spent the night driving with my parents, two brothers, and my aunt to California where we met up with (almost) the rest of my siblings and their families, and we spent Thanksgiving week there together. It was great to see everyone and I did not want to leave when the trip came to an end. We rented this great house that was just a few miles from Disneyland and not too far from the beach either. It had a pool and hot tub that we spent a lot of time in, and a great game room that let us play and watch movies together in(even though there were 15 of us).
Here are some pictures of the beach. It was foggy and cold while we were there, but still fun to play in the sand and water. And we went to this yummy restaurant called Ruby's Diner that had delicious burgers, fries, and shakes. We had to wait an hour to eat there, but it was worth it. And they had gluten free buns! The good kind! For a person that usually has to get a burger without a bun, this was great.

One of the best parts of the trip was going to Disneyland. They had all their Christmas decorations put up and I loved how festive it felt walking around and being able to see and feel that the Holiday season has arrived, Disney style. I fell in love with Disneyland the first time I went when I was about 7 or so, and had just as much fun this time.

Back in the day when I went to Disneyland, California Adventure did not exist so it was a lot of fun to be able to go there as well. I loved Cars Land and thought it looked just like Radiator Springs.
Beauty and the Beast, made out of legos. Legos! I can't imagine how long it took to make those!
I love this picture of my mom

I aspire to have a relationship like my parents someday. Aren't they so cute?
I enjoyed every minute of this vacation! Who's ready to start planning the next one?
