Saturday with the Palko’s

Sunday

We left my parents house around 9:00 am and headed for Disneyland!!

We started off with Star Tours (with just the boys and me - Rob was parking at our hotel and then walked over ❤️)

Then Rob met up with us and we went on Snow White and the Tea Cups. \240Our tour of Fantasyland continued with Pinocchio’s Daring Journey and a train trip down memory lane on board Casey Jr. \240From there we shifted gears to space and got to fly the Millenium Falcon to financial success on a dangerous Smuggler’s Run. \240After walking through Sleeping Beauty’s Castle on our way to lunch a Pizza Port, we stumbled upon Jasmine and got a quick and easy photo opp!! \240

Breakfast was delicious- we went swimming afterwards in the infinity pool. Then we went snorkeling at 11:00 - we saw a shark!

We skipped lunch and had our couples massage at 2:00. After that, we called the boys to check in (they went to Top Golf with the Busi’s 😊). Then we had tea at 3:30 and played 2 games of 7 Wonders Duel (we each won one)

Fiji Friday!

Started the day off right with breakfast at 7:30 and a dip in the pool at 9:00

The boys went skiing at Snow Summit with their cousins! They had a great time!

We took the kayak out and kayaked out to the platform- we tied up the kayak and went swimming in the beautiful ocean! (It is EXTREMELY salty! )

Lunch menu 😍

I LOVE seeing the fruit bats! They are huge!

We were given an oceanfront table and they celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary… we were serenaded twice, and had a very romantic dinner together 🥰

Sunday in Fiji!

We started the morning off with another delicious breakfast at 7:30 am!

Rex and Abercrombie are hanging out with Brandy at home 🥰

Then we went for a swim!

We had a 10:00 am massage - so good!!

We had dinner at the Teppanyaki restaurant with 6 other guests - it was extremely hot but fun!

Video of the Bula song - this was the best version of the whole trip 😊

We took part in the Kava ceremony at 9:30 pm. It was nice to be able to talk to the staff in a more intimate setting.

Monday in Fiji! March 27th

This was one of our favorite days - after breakfast, we had a 9:30 reservation to go to our private island! We took a 20 minute boat ride to the island where they dropped us off for four hours, and then come back to get us 2:00 - it was amazing!

We played 7 Wonders Duel and Rob won … but the surroundings made the loss a little more bearable…

Videos of our private island! 🥰

Tuesday in Fiji!

Oceanfront breakfast!

Back to the room to relax

We had our last massage of the stay at 10:30 am - sad to not have daily massages any more 😭

We were up pretty early - Rob went to the lobby around 6:00 am to work on his baseball draft. I joined him at 7:00 and texted with Colin (they are 5 hours ahead)

Rob and the boys left Dawn‘s house to head over to pick up my parents to take them to go go kart racing

Tuesday - Vegas Baby!

Clarke stayed the night over at Ace and Lucy‘s house, so Nicol drove them all back over to my parents house in the morning. Rob drove my parents and the kids to Vegas. A little later that day (cementing Rob has the best husband ever - not that he was ever in jeopardy of losing the title 😜)
