We had a great time in California. I was nervous about how the kids would handle all the traveling but they did surprisingly well. I thought I’d share with you some of my favorite highlights.

Emma’s favorite part was of course all the princesses. She wanted to see all of them. She loved the Princes Fantasy […]
