Jordan took last Friday off of work so that we could take one last mini-vacation before I am too far along to travel. And, after the baby comes, we know we won't want to go anywhere for awhile. So, we headed down to Jordan's family's beach house in Dana Point for a long weekend. Trey and I were very excited because Daddy was going to go to Disneyland with us! I've had an annual pass since last August and Trey and I have been about 11 times since then, all without dad. It was really fun to be with Jordan and especially since it would be our last time using the pass. (Way too hot and crowded during the summer, so this was going to be it!) Jordan's mom came with us too. It was really a lot of fun and Jordan enjoyed seeing Trey excited about the rides he likes to go on. California Adventure has a new parade in the evening called the "Pixar Play Parade". Trey absolutely loves it since he is very addicted to all of those movies at the moment, "Finding Nemo" probably being his fav. Here's a few pictures from the day.
On Saturday morning Jordan and I got to sleep in a little while his mom took over Trey duty. It was wonderful! I guess Jordan wasn't too exhausted from walking around all day at Disneyland because he ran three miles later that morning. Here's a picture of what he was running alongside. Beautiful!! (Click here for a funny account of Jordan's adventurous run.)
The rest of the day we hit up some of our favorites like Wahoo's fish tacos and South Coast Plaza for some great shopping. We ended the day at the Irvine Spectrum for more shopping. I got to visit one of my favorite kids' clothing stores, Naartjie, to find some cute baby girl outfits while Jordan took Trey on a fun train ride. Trey was in heaven!
Sunday we went to church with Jordan's mom and then took our time relaxing and packing up. We had a great time away from home and a big shout out to Jordan's mom (even though she doesn't use computers and will never see this) for enjoying the weekend with us.

That looks so fun! Glad you enjoyed one last hurray before the baby comes. All those pictures make me want to go visit Chris' brother and his wife. We always spend time in Dana Point because my sis-in-laws' parents live up on that cliff over-looking the harbor. We always ride their jet ski out there and try to find dolphins. We'll come swim with you guys anytime you want!
That's pretty eventful for a "mini vacation." A mini vacation for me is a trip to the Chuck-a-rama buffet.
looks like fun!
btw- my name is spelled christy cropper ;)
You are so brave to endure Disneyland at this far along in your pregnancy! Hope this one is going well for you!
janel, your little boy is adorable! i'm just slightly jealous of your life - seeing as how i'm still teaching 2nd grade, not getting to stay home with my growing family. i hope you're happy - you seem so happy!
WOW, that looks like one amazing weekend! Mark always likes to take me on a trip before I can't travel anymore while prego, and it is the best thing to prepare for a new baby! What a fun time you guys had.
