Posted on by vballphil in Bake N Broil, California, Dad, Disneyland, Family, Friends, Taco Surf, wedding

I will never say no to visiting home (or Disneyland excursions frankly), so when my dad & his fiance changed their wedding location to Orange County I WAS SO GAME FOR GOING HOME FOR A FEW DAYS. I mean who can resist Bake N Broil, Taco Surf, Disneyland, beautiful weather, my friends, and most importantly, MY FAMILY.

A Cali Adventure

I so love when friends come into the lovely LA Basin to visit…this visit definitely tested my amusement park stamina (which I am happy to say is pretty high)! From Disneyland to Knott’s Berry Farm & Disneyland to Universal Studios….and throw in some Grunion Running, volleyball in Hermosa, Siteseeing through LB, and bar hopping in the southbay…ALL IN 4 DAYS…hahaha…

Aaaahhhhh…..Jan Bday’s!

Posted on by vballphil in Cheri's Birthday, Disneyland, Lake Havasu, Sheryl's Bday

Since December is the most fab month EVER, I thought I would give a nod to the fab bdays in Jan too…haha. Talk about an active month of bdays!! My g’ma’s always comes first followed the sista…who likes to do week long bdays! Of course this was a big one turning the 3-0! So we spent a few days in Lake Havasu (part 1)…with a few friends and Cheri’s fab phone that I have way too much fun with!













Of course I can’t forget that PIC’s bday is the same wonderful day as Cheri’s…we just wish she was west already so we could all celebrate together at Dland (part 2)!! Hint Hint….








After Cheri’s bday week came Fab’s bday….which included Disney again :). I so never say no to that!! Definitely some good times for sure!! Gotta say, watching Fab’s face on the Tower of Terror for the first time was priceless!!




Mobile Mania

So who needs a high tech camera when you have a mobile phone these days….I mean I might not have a flash on my treo palm, but hey, it gets the job done…and then there are all my friends that have “crackberries” and they have flashes…hehe…

In the last month, most of my photos have been from cameras…who knew!!

My Happy Place….

Posted on by vballphil in DCA, Disneyland, Friends, Fun
So, one does not TRULY realize what one has lost until it is gone (or not able to be visited frequently…haha). I always say that the two places that I can get away from my volley existence is at Disneyland or when I am cooking…so, Disney it is (Cooking for one is truly not fun)! My pass is working again SO I headed to Disney Cali Adventure this past Sunday for a few hours…and not only did I have a blast (typical), but met some of my Disney PIC’s fab friends from his SC days…ahhh, so my happy place!!








Here is a CLASSIC video from the BEST RIDE EVER, Tower of Terror…It is way dark, but just listen…hehe

An Almost Perfect Weekend

Posted on by vballphil in Disneyland, Friends, relaxation, snow valley, snowboarding

So, for the most part, this weekend was adventurous, active, and refreshing all rolled into one! Oh how I like those kinda of weekends! From snowboarding for the first time to some relaxation on Sat to Disneyland (with Maddie, Stacy, and Zack) on Sunday…good times 🙂 Now if only my lovely fam could be better (health wise) things would have been WAY better…but what can you do right?

Snow Valley Fun

So, another Valentine’s Day has come and gone….or should I say Valuable day…haha. This year was ACTION packed actually…from Disneyland/Disney California Adventure to practice with the Beach Babes & the 14 Mizuno team to dinner at yummo Javier’s with the Katie’s. GOOD TIMES. I am going to say the cliche line, “who needs a man”, but only in jest…cause I DON’T mean it…hahaha….

It definitely was an interesting weekend! Haha…anyways, here are a few pics and a mini video of my time at the Magic Kingdom (SO NOT DISNEYLAND!).
