Had been going back and forth on going to the beach Memorial Day Weekend...was checking the JetSuite deals on FB Thursday on my way home from work and they had Las Vegas to Santa Monica and Palm Springs, so I jumped on it and took the one that was leaving the latest so the kids wouldn't have to miss school...so Palm Springs it was. The plane only seats four so daddy drove to meet us on the other end. So lucky Jay doesn't mind driving and really wanted us to experience this!
here we go...
me and Jayme on one side
Jaylin and Jayson on the other...I was nice and let the kids have soda, only when they are sick or on a jet :) they were a little too excited, especially Jayson, he drank it so fast, he ended up spitting up
ooooh
found snacks!
this one was reading...what is that around her neck? her blankie :)
the pilot let Jayson check out the front
we left at 3pm, arrived 40 minutes later...Jay left Vegas at noon, so we ended up having to wait for him, but it was totally fine, the little airport had comfy chairs, a tv and computers for the kids to use, and snacks, so they were fine
stayed the night in Palm Springs, yelped restaurants in the area...went to Cafe Italia and were surprised when the waiters broke out in song...it wasn't over the top or cheesy, they were really good! Was fun to watch, dinner and entertainment!
Thought we'd check out the living zoo while we were there, but were pretty disappointed...waited in line to feed the giraffes but by the time it was our turn, they didn't want to eat anymore :(
saw a few more animals, but that was pretty much it, was pretty small
hung out at this cute coffee shop called koffi...cute outside area...Jayson just relaxing!
we were done with Palm Springs and headed over to Irvine to meet Melissa, Neil and Tyler who were driving down from San Jose...checked in and went swimming right away!
the next morning we went to Laguna Beach, back to Madison Square Garden cafe
for a german apple pankcake :) we tried to talk Dee into meeting us, but she already had plans
kids table
spent a few hours at the beach...started out dry
left soaked
running with daddy...after the beach Melissa and Neil took the kids to see Avengers for their 3rd time while Jay and I watched What to Expect When your Expecting. It ended up being a very exciting, fun, somewhat last minute trip...Private Jet, Palm Springs, Beach, family!
On Memorial Day we were back in Vegas and at the pool, met Auntie Tip and Auntie Vanessa at Mandalay Bay
boy was it hot! seriously after that, we had had too much sun and all dark, so we'll be taking a little break :)
and what better way to end the holiday with Boiling Crab and friends :)
