hey bloggers! well we’re back from a little time off to enjoy a fun trip to california to celebrate mario’s 50th birthday. our first stop was laguna beach for an unforgettable day with our friends at sizzix. we headed to the beachcomber restaurant for a late lunch and mojitos on the beach (doesn’t get much better than that). we enjoyed the sun, sand, and surf as we took in the ocean air and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon. that night we had tickets for the most unforgettable experience i’ve ever seen “the pageant of the masters“. this is something that literally words cannot describe – it’s a must see, put on your bucket list, thing to experience…especially if you enjoy art in any form. i’ve linked the site to check it out for yourself (thanks kristin for this incredible opportunity). that night we enjoyed a room on the beach to enjoy the ocean air and sounds of the waves crashing against the shore throughout the night….peaceful…
the next day we headed out to the happiest place on earth to meet up with more friends and family to get the celebration underway for mario’s 50th birthday. thanks to ted & michelle’s connections to get us 50…yes 50…fastpasses before we even stepped foot into the parks. we enjoyed both parks, got to check out the new cars land, enjoy tons of rides, good fun, and loads of laughs. the celebration continued over the next couple of days, and the fun did too with our daily starbucks fixes (now that there is an actual starbucks inside disney’s california adventure) how cool is that? it really was a memorable and perfect way to celebrate a monumental birthday for one of the most amazing people i have ever met in my life…happy 50th birthday mario, may all of your wishes come true…t!m
