First game of the season!

After catching up on several posts....I'm a little tired of doing photo collages. So, they get to be longer now. ; ) 

We LOVE taking the train to Angels games. We have done it for 2 years now? We also took it to the U2 concert (crossing fingers they do another concert in the years to come). It's so easy to park right there in Irvine, hop on the train and get off right in the stadium parking lot! 

The night we went up, the had a little event at the station for the Angels train. Where they were giving away free food, train tickets and other prizes. The food was amazing!! 

Brody got interviewed about why we love riding the Angels train. 

And we won free train ticket for that night!! : ) 

Waiting for the train....

...I couldn't pick. I liked all these, haha : ) 

The Angels Train 

Club Level!! 

We were hooked instantly! I don't know how we hadn't discovered this level yet. 

It's all so nice and so clean...even the restroom are 1000x's better! : )

The in seat menu is so great and has lots of options! 

I loooove the view from this level!

The Chicken Nachos are super yummy

It got a little chilly, so my sweet hubby went out and found us some Hot Chocolate! It was SO good and really warmed up the hands! : ) 

: ) 

Our seats : ) 

Big Bang Friday! <3 p="">

Angels Train home...

...and just in time...ZZZzzzzz

So happy Baseball season is back! : ) 

Easter

This California Adventure did a big Easter Egg hunt through out the entire park. You could get a map on BVS, it had the general area of the egg and once you found it, you'd put the sticker on that part of the map and then show it at the end for a prize. : ) 

Can you spot some of the eggs?

Afterwards we went for a nice Easter dinner with my parents to the Chart House in Dana Point.

Such a beautiful location and GREAT food! The photo below is the view from our table. : ) 

Beautiful sunset and a beautifully yummy dessert...who could ask for more? 

On Sunday we had Easter baskets, We brought Bunny bread to dinner and we gathered around the table with the Easter story eggs. Read and discussed them. 

Such a great Easter! We are so blessed with great family and friends! : ) 

Angels 5K

We ran the Angels 5K this year....I think it was Easter weekend. I still had my sprained ankle from my Disneyland incident, but it did ok. I ended up having to walk a lot of it, but I'm SO glad I did. It was SO much fun!! 

Toward the end we got to run down on the field, go into the dugout and be up on the jumbo-tron!! As Angels fans, this was amazing!! It was such a fun run and I hope we get to do it again next year as well! : ) 

(I think you can click on the photo to make it larger. There are a lot of photos in there. And thats not all of them, haha) 

Happy Birthday Brody!

On Brody's actual birthday, we went up to the parks to celebrate! 

I love how it says, "Happy Birthday" on the screen when they scan your pass. The sweet Cast Member let me snag this photo, I love it! : ) 

Since his Birthday was right around Easter this year, we got our map and did another Easter egg hunt in DCA. These are so much! This also rekindled my love for Peeps! haha. I can't explain it, they are so good! 

We also got to meet Carl from UP!! Such fun events Disneyland is doing this year for "Limited time Magic".

Also for Easter, they had a bunny hop with all of the Disney Bunnies, Mickey and Minnie and the Dapper Dans. It was so cute, and I joined in! haha

DCA has the BEST soft serve ice cream! 

We meet the nicest Cast Member who let up sneak into such a great viewing spot for World of Color! It was the first time we had seen it in such a long time. It was the PERFECT ending to our visit! : )

<3 p="">

We also went out to dinner with my parents to Claim Jumper, and they gave Brody a little birthday cupcake. : ) 

Happiest Birthday to the man of my dreams!! I can't even imagine my life without you and all the fun and laughs we have! Love you so much more everyday!! 

(no, I love you more) ; ) 

Cash in the winnings

Let's see last year I won a drawing at the LA Golf Show for a free two night stay with two rounds of golf each! With Brody's work being so busy, it was hard to find time to get a way and use it. We ended up cashing it in right before it expired, which ended up being Brody's birthday week! Could that be more perfect? No, no it couldn't. haha : ) 

We show up and they have one of their deluxe accommodations ready for us, with a beautiful course view  and near the pool and a lovely bottle of sparkling apple cider for his birthday! We left our stuff, and hit the course!! : ) 

 This breakfast was amazing!! The bacon was honey/brown sugar coated and I still crave it. haha. And everything else was just as amazing. It was so peaceful to eat out on the patio too. 

Perfect golf fuel ; ) 

The next day I joined in and did my first 18!! It was so much fun and I did SO much better than I was expecting! On hole #2 I got it right up on the green! It was pretty exciting! 

(these photos are not in order by day. I just jumbled all golf photos together) 

The course was SO beautiful! 

They also had such a great lunch on the go! Which started our POP Chips addiction. 

Hole #2! I also killed the tee! haha! 

I still love watching and taking photos of Brody playing...but at lest now I know I can join in without it taking days to finish it all. haha. 

Pretending I know how to read my green and line up my putt! haha. And of course Brody is natural.

We adventured into Old Town for dinner and found just what we were hopping for, a really good local mexican food restaurant. This one was called The Bank. It is an old converted bank, that also happened to be the first recorded bank robbery in Riverside County. The food was amazing! : ) 

Brody's birthday bubbly : ) 

Our last day we explored he area and went into Wine Country. It was so beautiful and fun to look around in! 

We loved our little cartoon map of the area! haha 

We found this lake...I think it was about 20-25 miles from where we stayed? It was so much fun to explore the area and all the beauty it had to offer. 

Such a fun win and SUCH a perfect way to spend Brody's birthday! He deserves all this and SO much more! It was such a blast!!  : )
