Thanks to my awesome father-in-law we were able to go to California for a long weekend and visit Mike's adorable brother who is working at camp Cherry Valley for the summer on Catalina Island. We were flying out on Thursday and Gracie woke up at six puking her guts out with a high fever and the shakes. So all morning i was cleaning up puke getting ready to leave in just a few hours with Mike at work making a doctors appt for my sick little angel and her crying for me to hold and sooth her. I was so stressed about now getting everything ready and then my angel mother came over and held her so i could get ready to go and take her to the doctor to make sure she can travel. Well we get to the doctor's office and she started running around and was fine. So thanks to my mom and higher power from above we made our plane, gracie was heathly and happy and there for so was the rest of us and the plane. Can you imagine sitting behind a puking screaming two year old in a small plane not a good thing but she slept the whole time and no one even knew she was on the plane. Anyways the first day we arrived We stayed in long beach and ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp then walked along the pier. It was so beautiful and the perfect weather. Then the next morning we got on a boat that took us to Catalina Island where we stayed on the boys scout camp in a big round tent called a yurt. It was suppose to be really warm at night there so we didnt bring any blankets and to make a long story short it was freezing so we didnt get much sleep but made a lot of fun memories. While we were there we got to go sailing, canoeing, snorkling and hanging out on the beach(or should i say rocky shore line:) We came home on Sunday and traveled home with no problems. We had such a great vacation and our so grateful that we had the opportunity to go. Sorry there is a lot of pictures and i put them on in the wrong order so they go from the bottom up.
