Road Trip!

This month, Daphne went on her first big adventure. My brother Tim and his wife Margaret were celebrating their birthdays with a beach camping trip. Tim (hubby Tim) had to start work, so he couldn't go... but I decided that Daphne and I were due for our first mother-daughter adventure. We camped just across the street from this beautiful Malibu beach.



Here's Daph in her warm camping clothes. She loved the tent. It was her first time sleeping through the entire night!



My mom and dad came up from AZ. And there is cousin Carter. He just loves his baby cousin.



At night we played with glow sticks. Heather and I made up this super cool birthday dance for Tim and Margaret, but of course my camera died for it.



Daphne stayed in the shade all day, but she decided to make an appearance for pictures.



Some artwork that Tim turned into a climbing wall.



The family, minus my hubby. I'm noticing a nice empty space in the picture where I can Photoshop him in though...hmmm.



Us being pretty much awesome.



This used to be easier when we were kids. Hey, how did that diver get in our picture? Memory officially ruined.



Me, mom, and Daph.



Sister-in-laws.



So after the camping trip we decided to top it off with a little Disneyland and CA Adventures.



But mostly CA Adventures because it was way less crowded and way more awesome.



Tim worked the Fast Pass system and got us on so many rides without waiting.



Great birthday week Tim and Margo!

You are very brave taking a baby camping all by yourself! It looks like you had a super fun time though which means you'll be more likely to do it again! :)
