Happy Fall Y'all

Fall is here and I must confess, I adore it!!! It's truly "Redhead" season!!! We were born for these colors!

 I've been slacking on my blog posts lately and I apologize. I'm not making excuses (that's my story anyway, lol!) but we have been super busy with our Halloween and Fall pursuits lately & I just haven't gotten to the blog... So, I'm sorry, and without further adieu our latest adventures!!

We started our Halloween celebration with our annual trip to Mickeys Not so Scary!!

 

Our decorated suite at Port Orleans

(ok, my honey & I might have cut out sometime alone on our weekend getaway for the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot) but the rest of the getaway was all Trick or Treating, Fireworks, parades, and of course no Halloween kickoff is complete without .. Universals HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS!! It was awesome especially the Michael Myers "Halloween" house!!

A few days later we hopped a flight to LA to continue the party west coast style!!

Shopping natch!!

Our view of Hollywood from Hilton Universal.

We checked in after lunching & shopping in Burbank. Took a little rest, and took on 

Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood!! It was AMAZING!!! Next we were headed to the Madonna Inn (WOW!!) but first a Beverly Hills Sprinkles stop!!

Then we headed to Little Tokyo for beauty shopping!!! (heaven!! Pure bliss!) 

so then we finally headed up the coast to San Luis Obispo, but on the way we just had to have dinner at a true Ca landmark Pea Soup Andersens

Such yummy fun!!

So when we finally got to Madonna Inn we were very very happy to check into the "old mill room" (think its a small world complete with water wheel) it was magical!!

For any of my "pink" friends OMG!! This place is bathed in pink!!! And the pink champagne cake was DIVINE!!

See told ya!! Pink heaven!! :0)

Then finally onto Disneyland!! We checked into Disneys Grand Californian and took on Disneyland and California Adventure... We had a blast!! 

Mickeys Halloween Party with a West coast swing!!

Doing what we do best... Just being  "Goofy" Hope you're having a Happy Fall Too Y'all!! TTYL ❤️
