Our first out-of-state vacation as a couple. Aleissa showing Austin her hometown of Sacramento. Like we often do, we ended up there when there was a fair going on, California State Fair this time!

Our first Easter at Austin's Aunt Sharon's and we hid the Easter eggs for the younger kids. Also Aleissa's first time getting egged by Austin, lol.

Monterey, CA definitely impressed us with its amazing aquarium, the walk along the pier, our first time eating breakfast on the balcony by the bay and having swordfish at a nice restaurant.

Do we look like New Yorkers? We took Aleissa's lil brother to meet our Aunt Linda in New York and saw the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Let me tell you, it was freezing!

Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles with Uncle Leo. The long walk made it memorable because it made us appreciate the top! There were stars on the ground and beautiful scenes above!

Silly selfies with JoJo who invited us over for the holiday dinner get-together.

Chicago River Boat Ride and what a cold one! Winter boat rides, omg probably not going to do that again. There were coffee and snacks so we made the most of it.

This was our lovely week-long trip to California. We went to see Universal Studios, Hollywood and Harry Potter's Wizarding World (the line was long). Thanks to Uncle Leo for the experience.

Our 1st Comic Con but not our last! It was a great experience. Aleissa cosplayed as steam punk and later enjoyed a night of dancing and drinking.
