Hey there!! Val here….I wanted to share our awesome family trip this year out to Huntington Beach, California. We were so lucky to stay at the Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach, Ca. It is such a gorgeous resort and I can’t say enough about the grounds and the staff who work there. They are seriously the happiest and nicest people you’ll find in the business! They certainly made our stay an extra pleasant one! Here is a peek at where we spent our week!!

In addition to the fun we had at the resort, we had a blast at the surrounding amusement parks. We visited 4 amazing parks and when everyone asks us which one we liked best, we can’t decide!! They were all amazing and we really had a great time in each park. I will say, Knotts Berry Farm has amazing roller coasters. We were so impressed by that park!! One part of the park the kids loved was the guy in the jail who talked to them. Sort of scared them at first but then they thought it was really cool how he answered their questions. Universal Studios is just amazing all around. The Studio Tour ride was probably our favorite. Oh, and that WaterWorld show was so great…..and you will get SOAKED if you sit in the front…yep, SOAKED! Great show! The 2 Disney Parks…well of course they were amazing! Our little guy just could not wait to get to Radiator Springs and let’s just say, it was so worth the wait! He was on cloud 9 there seeing Lighting McQueen and Mater…so much fun to watch his face light up! He even got to ride in the Radiator Springs Racers and his car won the race!!! Seriously, does life get any better for a 5 year old?!?!? Toontown in Disneyland park was also a favorite of our little guy. It was seriously like a dream come true. A whole town of his favorite characters and so many interactive things for him to do there. A total dream come true! Our older guys loved the “big” kid rides…the classic Space Mountain and Splash Mountain were their favorites. I could go on for hours….I think I’ll just let you check out the pics I snapped along the way. Yes, I lugged my big mama camera around!!! My husband can’t believe I carry it everywhere, but for me, it’s not even a second thought knowing that I can preserve these moments forever!!
