Costa Mesa!!

So when I was about 13 weeks prego my parents got tickets to this benefit concert that Mike Garson was having in Costa Mesa California. Mike told my dad to feel free to bring the family. Wade and I jumped at the chance! We asked wades parents if it was okay for them to take the kids for a couple days, bought tickets, and booked the hotel! Double date vacation with the parentals! It was one of the best weekends ever! 

I didn't have much faith that the trip was going to go well when the morning of our flight the flight was cancelled and we had to take a flight a little later. But we got there, a little late but we got there. 

We got is la and when to downtown Disney and got lunch at the rainforest cafe. It was awesome and relaxing without little people. I missed them terribly but I thought it was awesome to have an adult conversation. The concert was later that night. It was amazing! Mike Garson is an amazing artist. It was about healing though music.  

We had a prefect view from the balcony. My parents sat on the floor. Bruce did a terrific job of composing the music for the concert. He was so funny, when we got there he wanted to introduce us to all his musical friends. He loved having family there. By the time we got dinner at 1230 at night my body was toast. On came the sickness. 

The next day we went and had an amazing lunch at the beach. I had a carving for clam chowder in a bread bowl. It was the best meal of my life!!!! Wade and dad had chapino(?) wades new favorite seafood. There is something about the beach. It calms my soul. Everything is right and awesome. It was perfect weather and with the smell of the sea I was heaven. It was exactly what I needed. Being sick for weeks and then I get there and I feel good. It was so nice to be able to hold wades hand and walk along the water(cheesy I know) we never get to do that anymore. 

After the beach we drove by knots berry farms. I haven't been there is years. I don't even remember going. So we saw it was half price after 4 and so we went in to ride some rides! It sounds crazy and it kinda was. Wade rode all the big coasters while I waved and screamed back at him. It felt like dating again. In that moment I said out loud, "man I love him" my mom said " well I hope so" Walking with him hand in hand though a theme park I remember that there is just a me and him. Yes I was carrying our third and we had two at home but wade and I have a relationship. It was a much needed reminder. We get so wrapped up in our lives. Kids, church, work, school, dance.....they all come before our relationship sometimes. So I think we need to go on a weekend date at least twice a year. Lol. Having my mom and dad with us made it fun. Acting like teenagers and playing around with out responsibilities. It's a good thing they are super young at heart. The last day we spent some time at downtown disney and we were super tempted to go in. Knowing my kids would never forgive me we decided not to. We went to a really expensive mall and ate more clam chowder in a bread bowl.(best ever!) and we had to head to the airport. I was so happy to hold my babies when I got home. Having a great best weekend ever but also coming home to realize that my life is amazing with two amazing kids, a husband that I love, and a baby on the way. Life is good.
