Welcome to our tour of Southern California. It starts off on Mother's Day at Candice's grandparents' house and a tasty spaghetti dinner. This is our magazine cover pose.
Next we take you to the magical world of Disneyland. This castle is fit for a queen like Candice. The happiest place on earth didn't disappoint.
This was my first experience posing with a Disney character and I have to say it was a memory I'll cherish for the rest of my life.To infinity and beyond!
Splash Mountain sounded like a good idea until our shoes got soaked and shorts sopping wet on a 60 degree day.
Candice's favorite part about Disneyland: churros! Oh yeah, and being close to me at sunset.
It wasn't the sunniest morning ever at the beach, but this rocky little spot was nice and quiet.This is Candice speaking: If you look to the right, there is a tall rock. Well, let's just say that I had to rescue Ryan because he decided to climb to the top without any shoes on.
Ryan: Thanks, honey. You're my hero.
By the afternoon the sun had come out and we found a prettier beach in Laguna. We were lucky enough to meet up with some of my (Ryan's) family to eat lunch and play at the beach with them.
We drove for an hour and a half up a windy mountain to more than 7,000 feet elevation for this hike. The 2 miler was worth it for sure. This spot is called Big Bear Lake and we had a beautiful view from the top of these boulders.
Here we are at the Redlands temple for Katie's (Candice's best friend) sealing. The day was colorful and bright just like Candice's bridesmaid outfit. Isn't my little flower girl so pretty?
This trip was so great it left us smiling all the way back to Michigan. We'd like to thank the Robinson's for being such gracious hosts and keeping our bellies full all week long.
