Last November of 2009 we got the opportunity to drive to California to meet Ava's cribmate and family for the first time.
We got lucky because my hubby had free Marriott points so no cost for Hotel and we had a Disney points Visa that had points for free park passes!!
So all we needed was gas and food to get to Disney!!
We had a wonderful time getting to know the other family and spent 3 1/2 days at Disneyland together.
The girls had so much fun with each other and the older kids really hit it off too and had a blast together. We all became fast friends!!
Since then we all keep up with each other on Facebook and the girls have Skyped each other.
They are trying to make it out to where we live this summer, we made a pack that we would try and get the girls together every 6 months or so, that is one trip a year for each of us!! Lucky us that we both have family in each others states!!
Ava loved her first trip to Disneyland. She waned to find all her favorite characters and give them hugs!! It was a success and she hugged everyone she wanted to.
We had one little episode while waiting in line for Pooh. We were two people away from hugging him and they did a character break. You would have thought the world was ending, she screamed and cried, just ear piecing!! Poor baby thought Pooh was going away for ever and she was soooo close!! We had to explain that he would be back in a few minutes! Thank goodness she understood and settled down!!
