San Francisco: Happy Birthday Kameron!

For my sister's 16th birthday, my mom was able to get front tickets to "Wicked" in San Francisco. We drove up the Pacific Coast Hwy from Santa Monica to Monterey, the drive was amazingly beautiful. We stopped in Hollywood and walked down Hollywood Blvd. There are some crazy people in Hollywood. We stayed in Oxnard the first night and then drove the rest of the way to San Francisco the next day. On Tuesday, we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge, walked around Fisherman's Wharf and we got poured on. We were soaking wet but we still had a blast. We also saw the "Full House" house and the "Mrs. Doubtfire" house. That night was the show. It was absolutely AMAZING!! Teal Wicks played Elphaba and Kendra Kassebaum played Glinda. They were so good together. If you have not seen "Wicked" then you are missing out. It's so good. In fact I think I'm addicted to the soundtrack. I can't wait until I can see it again!!

The Hart Family finally together!!

On June 20, I finally met my oldest brother. We spent Father's Day together and it was the first time that all three of my dad's kids and all six of his grandkids were together. It was amazing. I am so grateful to have them in my life!

The Cruise: Happy Birthday Mom!!

For my mom's 50th birthday we went on a cruise. We were originally supposed to go down to Mexico but when the swine flu hit they changed all of the cruises to go up to Canada. Our first stop was in Astoria, Oregon. There we saw "The Goonies" house and the school where "Kindergarten Cop" was filmed. The second stop was in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. It was beautiful there. We got to go see the Butchart Gardens and it was amazing. Our final stop, before heading back down, was VanCouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was just so pretty up there. The cruise was a blast and I cannot wait to go on another one. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.

We stopped here every time we walked by to hold hands with these men.

Happy 50th!

Cruise

We are leaving tomorrow morning for California. Then on Sunday we are boarding our Cruise ship and heading up to Canada. We will be gone for a whole week. It will be nice to be out of Prescott for that long. This is my mom's birthday present for herself. She is turning 50 on June 9 and she has lost over 100 pounds. She thinks it's time to celebrate. I'm super excited, I just hope there are some cute guys on this cruise. That will make it 10 times better.

The New Look

I wanted to get my hair done before we leave on our cruise this weekend. I had also decided that I was ready for a new look, something different. The look I had before was my post break up look and I'm way over that so it's time for something new. Here it is:

I love this new look. I haven't had bangs since probably middle school.

DiSnEyLaNd!

This past weekend I went to Disneyland with my friends Alison, Brittney, Michael and Steven. My mom decided to let us take her Yukon, which was awesome, so we all piled in on Thursday afternoon when Steven got off of work and headed to Cali!! We got to our hotel about 10:30 but we (us girls I guess I should say) were so excited that we could not sleep. We woke the boys up giggling and whispering but the boys kept us up with their dumb impressions "another gator?! get me the shovel!" The next morning we all got up and were ready by 7:00am, I think that shows just how excited we all were to be going to Disneyland. We got to Disneyland about 7:45 and stood there waiting for them to open the gates and let us in. They did not open the gates until 8:30 and the park didn't open until 9:00. We first went on Pirates of the Carribean and then Indiana Jones. We were having so much fun. In the early afternoon we headed on over to Califonia Adventure and had a BLAST!! We went on the California Screamin Roller Coaster three or four times. It was also my first time to go on the Hollywood Tower of Terror which was amazing. The second day we split up for most of the day and I think things went a little better and everyone had a little more fun. On Sunday before we headed back we went to Huntington Beach. That was fun and there were a LOT of cute guys there. Overall the trip was a blast.

Once upon a time five friends went to Disneyland....
