SURREAL

Surreal would have to be the best word to describe the way I feel about my holiday, both while I was experiencing it and now that I’m back home.

It was a dream holiday I had planned for so long and with a tinge of sadness, I realised this morning that much like an actual dream, I’ve opened my eyes, I’m back home and my dream holiday is over.

But true to my “life’s like a cupcake” style, I must spin the whole thing into a positive…and how shall I do that?  By being grateful that I got to go at all, by reminding myself that this is hopefully the first of many wonderful holidays, and by reminiscing every now and again about the wonderful memories made with my family!

Instead of boring you with all the details (which of course, are exciting to me because I was actually there), I’ve decided to share just a few highlights through some of my hundreds of photos!

First stop: Disneyland, Anaheim…

 

Next: a road trip to San Francisco stopping overnight in Monterey…
