I’m very excited to participate in this week’s Image of Life Challenge. Before the summer breeze gives way to fall leaves, it’s the perfect opportunity to share photos from our first vacation as a trio! We traveled to Los Angeles, CA with my in-laws, and with 8 adults and 8 kids under the same roof, there were sure to be adventures had by all! 🙂
After being on the road for just over 7 hours (only 1 stop – Alexandra was a trooper!), we arrived at the house we’d be sharing. This picture of the foyer is only a glimpse of this beautiful home. Before heading to bed there was plenty of bonding time with the cousins…
Don’t let the face fool you. She was loving it! LOL!
After a good night’s sleep, we were off to Universal Studios. The hubby and I had never been, and we definitely look forward to returning when the little one is old enough to remember!






We weren’t home for the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics, but we didn’t miss it!
The next day we ventured to Hollywood Boulevard, where the sights were aplenty! We started with lunch at Hard Rock Cafe.

I know Muhammed Ali is extremely famous, but where’s my star? 😉



Later that night we went to a graduation/anniversary party of one of my dearest friends. To all of our surprise (including her!), it turned out to be a 10 year vow renewal as well!
In spite of being tired, our final day was full of smiles.
The gorgeous displays at the Bowers Museum, was a relaxing end to a fun-filled weekend.
We had a truly blessed time, and in the same way it began, our trip ended…with family. Thank you for visiting and God bless!
