We have loved living in So Cal and having so many vacation-worthy outings within an hour or so from where we live. When you live in the middle of it all there's hardly a reason to venture away... except when we take 'real' vacations which, with six kids hardly ever happens anyway... cause, let's face it... there's a huge difference between a trip and a vacation. Typically six kids= trip, two adults= vacation. Both are great, but a stay-cation with oodles of kids is sooo much easier.
Spring Break on Balboa Island
We don't usually encourage this with our minors... but it was funny.
Brayden was too scaredy-pants to jump in the pic.. maybe that's a good thing
Who doesn't love a ferris wheel?
...or a merry-go-round for the little ones
The kids had a choice to either play in the arcade, get a caricature...
...or play on the jumbo trampoline
We took a drive down to Crystal Cove Beach in Laguna
... and topped the day off at Ruby's Diner
Is that the same as the Ruby's Diner that use to be in Pasadena where I use to take you kids after the Rose Parade? I MISS So. CA!!!!!!!
