For Christmas, as a surprise, we got to go to Disneyland and Sea World, both in sunny California. We woke up on Christmas morning and opened our presents and my mom made us wait to open one big present last. When we opened it there was a note that said that our family, on my mom's side, (including my grandparents, both of my aunts, my uncle, my aunt's boyfriend, Pat, my four cousins, and our little family) were going on a very lond trip to? We had to go on a scavenger hunt to find out.
As soon as we got to the end of the scavenger hunt, there was a box full of stuff that we could do on our way to that secret place. There was also another box that had a chicken on it, by the way Katelyn asked if we were going to a farm! When we opened the box Katelyn screamed because inside were passes to Disneylad and Sea World. We were soo exctied!
That was a LONG trip to California, it took 2 days!!
When we got to California we checked into our condos. They were REALLY nice. They were pretty big too, and we had a big balcony. We had a lot of fun using the condos. That night we went to the beach, oh my GOSH that was B-E-A-U-TIFUL! Here are some pictures.
The next day we went to Disneyland, it was so much bigger than I excpected. Some of my favorite rides in Disneyland are #1: Splash Mt. #2: Big Thunder Railroad #3: Matterhorn #4: Pirates of the Carribean and #5: Space Mt. Every night there was a Fantasmic, which was a water show and a firework show. That was pretty awesome too. Here are some pictures of us on all of our days at Disneyland.
This is Splash Mt.

Katie got to go dance in the High School Musical Parade
The day after our first day at Disneyland, we went to a place right next to Disneyland, California Adventure. That was totally fun. My favorite rides in Califoria Adventure are #1: California Screamin', DUH! #2: Soarin' Over California #3: GrizzlyBear River Run, I got SOAKED! #4: Tower of Terror, it wasn't as scary as i thought. #5: The Rocket. Here is a picture of our day in California Adventure. 
After three days at Disneyland, we checked out of our condo and went to the beach again. Here are some more pictures.
After the beach, we checked into another condo closer to Sea World. We had three condos checked out, one for our little family, one for my cousin's little family, and one for our grandparents and my aunt, Kara, and Pat to share. So we had a party at my grandparents condo on New Years Eve.
On New Year's Day, we went to Sea World for the first time. That was SOO much fun seeing Shamu the Killer Whale, The dolphin Show, and the Clyde and Semmor show. Here are some pics of our first day at Sea World.

We went to Sea World for two days and I had an absolute BLAST at both Sea World and Disneyland.
We were all sooo sad to leave. It was soo sad! :( We all had so much fun though.
Thanks mom and dad. We will never forget this trip!
