Our Family Vacation to the West Coast!

Me with my two little ones at Hermosa Beach California on Vacation.

The family and I had a wonderful vacation in May and June! We visited our family in Las Vegas and California. I am amazed at how many pictures I have of myself! Usually I am always behind the camera and this time my wonderful husband took many shots of me with family. I also got the chance to photograph the beach as I have been yearning to do and also photograph some landscape on our way out. 

Here are a few of those:

Utah

Colorado

Hermosa Beach California

As some of you know the beach is my haven, my love and my ultimate peaceful spot. We are fortunate enough to have parents that rented a house on the Strand of Hermosa. 

The above image is of the house we stayed in and on the middle balcony is my wonderful FIL, MIL, SIL, Niece and Husband. My father in law calls me his DIL so you can see where I get the acronyms from. haha! 

I also got to meet a very special someone mentioned above for the first time when we arrived at the foot of Longfellow. :) 

Little Ms. Lauren

Those big blue eyes and sweet baby grin had me at hello. It feels good to be an Auntie for the first time! 

These two had an amazing time with family and did not want to leave, really this little cutie in the front screamed for Papa and Gamma and I don't think she really cared which one she got as long as she got one. This went on until we hit the Utah border. haha! At least she loves them as much as I do. The little guy in the back just wanted to play with his aunts and cousins and little longer and seemed to zone out on his DS to pass the time. 

We did manage to get my very desired, very much wanted, okay...had to have picture of us on the beach :) 

Even though my husband has his sunglasses on, it is the best I was going to get that day. He had eye surgery a few weeks prior so he can not be without his sunglasses in the sun. As I would have loved for it to be by the water, as you can see there were plenty of visitors on the coastline that day and they would have caused more distraction then the sunglasses do! haha! 

All in all we had a great trip and sadly we will not be heading back that way for a few years, which saddens my heart, but there are things we must prepare for in the future. 

Thanks for stopping by and enjoying a piece of our trip with us! 

Until next time...
