Catalina Preview

To say this was the best 4th of July I've ever had is just not enough to describe what an amazing time this past weekend in Catalina was. That description though is all that I'm leaving you with tonight. 

I couldn't go to sleep tonight without sharing at least one photo from the trip! Here is that one photo to get warmed up for the huge post on Catalina being uploaded tomorrow night!  

....it looks like i've been having some recent color issues when uploading photos. Will try to fix this tomorrow because the greyish tone has been really killing these photos.

Team Building

I started a new position at work in April. The past three months in the job have been a blast! The team I work with is just amazing and last week we decided to have a little team building trip... at Disneyland! My friend and co-worker Christin has a very nice sister who just so happens to work at Disneyland. She hooked us up with passes to the park and for half the day we had a tour guide on every ride! This adds a whole new level to the Disneyland experience. 

The day started with a character breakfast at 8am and after our fill of Mickey waffles and pictures with Captain Hook, we hit the rides... for 16 hours! Next thing I knew it was after 11pm walking out from World of Color, which is just a "magical" experience in itself, and we still needed to go shopping. We didn't check-in to the hotel until 1am to grab a little sleep before we woke up at 7am for a meeting nearby the next morning.

Here are a few pictures from the day. I haven't had much time to go through all the photos yet but I am hoping to post some more after the weekend.The second picture is from the vip train cabin named the "Lilly Belle." There's a nice story behind this train cabin but I just don't have time to write it all out... I'm off to Catalina for four days!

To Philly and back pt 2

Most of my trip back was spent trying to seeing family but on Sunday afternoon I did spend some time with my great friend JT and his awesome kids. I went to his oldest daughter, Madison, soccer game where her team continued their wrath on the rest of the pee-wee league and remained undefeated. I believe the final score was 9-2! After the game we had a celebration lunch over at Nifty Fifty's. Mmmm those milkshakes are just as good as I remembered.

His kids are just so damn adorable! I could take pictures of them all day... and I tried.

Here are a few of those photos...
