Our Flights Are Booked!!

I am so excited, we have finally taken the plunge and booked our flights for our March trip!! It is a trip meant to replace our 10 year anniversary trip since it will be pretty hard to take a trip with a baby next year, so we decided we would bring our whole family along. It is a surprise for the kids, they will find out at Christmas. To make it even more exciting, they ask at least once a day when they can go back to Disney, so I can't wait to tell them we get to do it sooner than expected!! (Jeff has promised Clara she can go to Disneyworld again when she turns 8, so that's what they think they are waiting for).
We will be able to celebrate Donovan's birthday one our trip which is really exciting, as we celebrated Clara's birthday in Disneyworld one year and Clara still talks about it. In fact she brought it up again this morning, so I am happy Donovan will get to experience that as well.

Anyways, we get to start our trip out visiting here again
It's been a long time since we have been here. As you can see, Donovan is quite small in this photo. We will be there with my parents again as well. We have been to Disneyworld 3 times since this trip, I can't wait to see Disneyland again.

We will also be visiting this place
This is new to us. In all our trips to California and Florida, we have never taken the time for Universal Studios, so this is exciting.

Then we get to visit here again
Granted, this photo is Seaworld in Orlando, and we won't be going there, but we will be visiting Seaworld in San Diego. Mostly because Donovan just LOVES Seaworld, he talks about it often and tells us how he loves the dolphins and whales, so I can't wait to take him here again.

Think this is all exciting? Well after all of this, we get to check into here!!!
That's right! We are doing a 7 day Mexican Riviera Disney Cruise!! I can't wait! This is honestly a dream come true for me. I can't wait for it and I am really excited for the kids as there is SO much for them to see and do on this boat.
Including a sweet kids pool area, kids clubs, parties, fireworks and lots of chances to meet characters!! This means shorter line ups to meet them which makes Jeff happy too!!

We get to visit Puerto Vallarta
Seems like a good first stop since this is where we spent our honeymoon. Afterall, it is our 10 year anniversary trip.

Cabo San Lucas
and Mazatlan

Not sure if we will do much in these ports with the kids, but I do hope that we get the chance to visit with some of these.

This is a dream of Jeff's, but it is always too expensive for us to do. We will see if we take the plunge this time, if not we will just hang out on the beaches and enjoy ourselves.


After our cruise we get to spend a couple of days with Jeff's parents here in Newport Beach

Actually both of our parents will be joining us on the cruise, which is really exciting.
I do not plan on weather this beautiful, but I will dream of it and pray for it.

All things must come to an end, and unfortunately this will be the last of our trip, but, I am sure after 2 weeks away from home we will be ready to come back.
I can't wait for this trip! I know it is going to be a lot of fun and a great experience. Even Jeff told me that he is kind of excited for this trip...which says a LOT! I can't wait to see the look on the kids faces when we tell them that this is where we are going, I know they will be SO happy.

The countdown is on...only 97 days until we leave for our 10 year anniversary/family vacation!!!
