Road Trip!

Our first family vacation... what started out as a trip of just Tony and his brother flying to Phoenix for the weekend to watch the Colts play the Cardinals turned into a
road trip with all three of us to Vegas, Phoenix, Sedona, and the Grand Canyon!
Daisy, just chillin' in the room while we went out to dinner...



Dinner at Ago at the Hard Rock Cafe...we got to visit with Emilio, our favorite waiter from Ago in LA who moved here when they opened this restaurant.




A quick stop for Daisy outside the pet-friendly Westin before hitting the road for Arizona...


Driving through the Hoover Dam... Tony called this the leaning tower of electricity!


We met up with Mikey at the Phoenix airport, took Daisy to his hotel for the day, then went to the Colts game...










Our SWEET suite that Paul LoDuca invited us to!
It was a great game in a great season for the Colts!

Sedona was so beautiful... the rock formations were amazing...

I heard someone say that this must be where the put all the rocks that they dug from the Grand Canyon!

We stayed at a place that Paul's dad manages and we got great restaurant recommendations from a friend of mine from High School who lives there now.


The Grand Canyon was just AWESOME!!! You see pictures of it all your life, but there is just no way you can't be impressed by how massive and breathtaking it is in real life...




Arizona is truly a beautiful place...it was such a fun trip, but Tony's allergies went crazy being so close to Daisy in the car for so long, so that just might be our only Daisy road trip : )

Breakfast With Snow White

Girl cousins rock! So much fun on a Saturday morning at El Capitan Theater in Hollywood for our "2nd Annual "Princess Breakfast and Movie Outing...


Click HERE to see all the pics



This year, Mom and I went with Stephanie, Alli and Avery to see Snow White.
We may be a little biased, but I think we had the cutest
"Snow Whites" there...


Snow White greeted us as we came in to breakfast and welcomed us again as she introduced the movie...











Afterwards, we took a walk over to the Kodak Theater, stopped in the Hello Kitty store, and even met up with our old pal Captain Jack Sparrow.

We adults pretended we were there for the girls, but I'm pretty sure we had more fun than THEY did!

Aahhh...it's days like this that I LOVE being a girl... : )
