Trips to Yellowstone & California

During the summer, we took 2 family vacations, one to California to visit family, the other to Yellowstone.

California was fun, as always! We visited Adrian's family in San Jose- saw the beach and that cool amusement park in Gilroy again. Adrian and I were able to drive south for a day to enjoy a little alone time! Heavens that was wonderful! It had been 6 years since we'd been away from the kids overnight- long overdue! We went to Avila Beach and it was beautiful! {Good food too!}

We drove to Auburn to visit my family too! My mom and Michael lived in a cute house by this amazing lake, so we spent a lot of time there. We saw my sisters, Jenn, Julie & Carol and their cute kids too.

We took a trip with just our family to Yellowstone and had an absolute blast! We didn't care for the place we stayed in, but seeing the park was just incredible. They kids did so well with all the driving, but that's not hard to understand being as we saw tons of wildlife during those drives! We saw antelope, deer, a bear, a giant herd of buffalo and more. It was a fun, exciting trip!
