Hello Everyone! I'm excited to be one of the writers for the Box Tops Blog and share some of my experiences as a member of the Box Tops team as well as a mother of two little ones. How fun that my first post gets to be about my recent family spring break to Los Angeles! While I love working on Box Tops, I was in much need of some days out of the office, especially after the submission deadline and all the Box Tops University preparation. Sunny CA was just what the docter ordered for some R&R and a welcome change from the cold MN winter. The only part that was not so much fun was the travel to/from LA. Any of you with young children, know that a long flight with a toddler is not easy! (a great iPhone app called "Teach Me: Kindergarten" helped entertain my 3 1/2 year old).
My husband, kids and I stayed with close friends of ours in Redondo Beach, so we had lots of good time at the beach with the kids. I am a runner, and it was wonderful to get out by the water in shorts and a t-shirt vs. the hat and mittens that have been part of my jogging routing for months! I love to run in whatever city I visit, and I often check out the site Trail Link for the local trails.
The highlight of the trip was a day at Disney Land. We were at the park when it opened at 8am ready to go - my husband is planner extraordinaire. Thank goodness we were there early! The park was packed by 10:30, but we had already hit the highlights for a 3 year old and toddler. I am always impressed by how Disney does things - the park was beautiful and the rides & entertainment were spectacular (both for the little kids and the big kids!).
I hope many of you were able to do something fun for spring break as well, and I would love to hear about it!
