Disney Vacation (pt 2)

Day two started out with a hotel breakfast, which I forgot to get photos of. And I have to say that for a hotel the breakfasts at Hampton Inn and Suites are pretty good! 🙂

All together again and ready for our drive through nothingness till you hit the everlasting city!

Kidos are happy to start with anyway…

The drive seemed really long the second day but I think it’s just because the last part was through all that city traffic! After the hotel coffee (not nearly as good as the breakfast part) I saw this and thought that it might be enough coffee for me! 😉

Ella konked out at one point and it was good because she needed a nap! You know what I mean. 😉

Eventually we made it to Huntington Beach and LUNCH was the first priority. We ate at a fun 50’s style burger place where they decorate your catchup bowl! 🙂

Ella was obviously impressed!

Finally we made it to the beach where we spent the afternoon! It was the first time our kids had been to the ocean, so it was super fun!

I hadn’t intended to get wet much, but the boys insisted that I join them out in the waves!

Popeye buried Ella in the sand! She was the only one willing to go for it!
