Tour de California

We went on a week long road trip from Phoenix to Portland, going through California. It was the 3 of us along with my grandma, Addie's great grandmother!! We are so glad she came. It was so nice spending time with her. We had a blast!

Off we go...
Here we are at Disneyland. We spent 4 days here. We had a blast. Addie loves the rides. I had an appointment booked for her to get her hair done like a princess for a fancy princess dinner we were going to that night. We walked in to the salon and she said, "no way, I want to go on the snow monster ride instead." Mommy was so sad but the girl knows what she likes.

Addie got all her Disney favorites to sign her autograph book. Last year we didn't do this at Disney world. She was so in to it.

We had dinner at Ariel's Grotto with Ariel, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Bell and Snow White. Addie loved it.



After Disneyland we headed of to Monterey to go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was huge and beautiful. Addie loved the Jelly Fish the most.


Then came Napa. We did some vineyard tours and wine tastings. It is so beautiful there. Everything is green and it looks like Italy.


Redwood forest. These are the hugest trees. You can't even believe they are that big. You can drive your care through them.



We made it up to Portland. Dave had to fly home for work. So, Addie and I stayed for a week. We got to hang out with my parents, brother and twin nieces. We went to a children's museum and spent a lot of time downtown.
