Family Fun in The Magic Kingdom

It has been 7 years since most of us have been to Disneyland and if you could picture it, we were giddy like school kids! We spent two wonderful days between the parks and covered quite a bit of ground for a group of 9. We were pretty impressed with the new California Adventures, and how could we not be? Disney does not disappoint. Some of our most favorite rides were: Space Mt, Indiana Jones, Thundermt Railroad, Screamer, Tower of Terror, Soar in Cali, OK actually they were all great. After two high impact days we took a day off at Coronado Beach and around Sandiego. It was an amazing day and believe it or not the water was a few degrees warmer than the air. Our last day in California was cloudy and a bit rainy, but we still enjoyed Sea World. The shows were amazing and we just shrugged when we got wet on the Journey to Atlantis roller coaster because it was already raining. Thus, we turned around and got right back on the coaster to do it again. Before going home the family came back to AZ to stay with us a couple days before their long drive back to Utah. It was a great family vacation and we hope to get back to the Magic Kingdom sooner rather than later.

Twilight & The Stephenie Meyer Book Signing

Well I have joined the leagues of fans who enjoy all things Twilight. The Twilight book series for those of you who don't know is written by Stephenie Meyer, a Mormon Mother of 3. She is an amazing author who writes gripping literature. I really enjoyed reading the Twilight series and can't wait for the 4th installment to come out in August! We can also look forward to the Twilight movie that comes out on December 12th!!

On Stephenie's book tour she had a stop in Phoenix so I thought it would be fun to go. I was just one of over a thousand people there! I waited for over five hours to get three books signed for me and Jessica, my sister. I actually had a great time and met some really nice people.


Before the signing, Stephenie answers questions from the Audience.

Stephenie in action, talk about writers cramp!
