California Fun

Chris and I spent the last few days out in California with his family.  We got out there midday on Wednesday (the 19th) and came back to Virginia on Monday (the 24th).  While I spent most of my time with his mom and sister Jessica, he was off having fun at Blizzcon with his World of Warcraft buddies.  

Kelly, Jessica, Amelia, and I spent some time crafting, making my wedding invitations, favors, decorating for our engagement party, looked at reception locations (and found one I'm in love with), and even had time to do a little shopping!  At night, I went and hung out with Chris and his friends, spent lots of time with Shiva, and got to eat some really amazing food!  We had a really fun trip, and I was sad to come home.  But at least I know that I will go out again in the near future to help with more wedding stuff, hang out for my bridal shower, and go to Vegas for my bachelorette party!  (I can't wait!!)

And now....I thought I'd share our trip in photos.  Enjoy!

At Downtown Disney we ate at the Rainforest Cafe and looked at flower girl dresses for the wedding.  Amelia did not like putting on Cinderella's dress at all!
The Monarch Room at The Grand in Long Beach is where I am considering having the reception.   This was everyone's favorite room!


Some of the photos Jessica and I took of Amelia!

Kelly made the mickey ears for us!


The Mickey ears read, "FINALLY ENGAGED" (inside joke) and the tables were decorated pink and black.  These two photos were taken with my Hipstamatic app on the iPhone!
