Thanksgiving in California

Our last vacation for 2013 was visiting with Jason's family in California for Thanksgiving.  We drove to Anaheim Sunday, miraculously missing the infamous Vegas-California Sunday traffic.  We were staying in a hotel for 2 nights and Jason was able to talk the hotel into upgrading us to a really nice suite for free!  It made breaks/sleeping with baby SO much nicer!

Monday and Tuesday were spent at Disneyland, of course.  Why else would we be staying in Anaheim? :) Jason's parents were able to come with us on Monday, making it their first experience with Leila in the park.  At the end of the night, we sent Leila home with them and Jason and I stayed to play in the parks another day.  It was Jason's first trip back since Cars Land opened, so we made sure to spend plenty of time in DCA.  It was great that we were able to see all of the Christmas decorations and shows but didn't have to deal with the crazy crowds that were sure to be there later of the week.

Yes, Leila's riding with them and she handled it better than either of them!

Tuckered out! She actually fell asleep in my arms as I was walking with her to our hotel shuttle.

The rest of our trip was spent chilling in Oceanside with the family, including Thanksgiving dinner.  We watched the sunset at the beach one night (and left with a screaming 2-year old who just wanted to swim and definitely didn't want to leave), went to a couple movies, and took some family pictures.  Such a nice, relaxing vacation!
