We just got back last night (1:30am--after driving staight through) from a Spring Break Trip to California (we did take two days to drive down though). Here are some highlights in no particular order because putting them in order would take too long! (I just figured out today how to upload more than one photo at a time--how stupid is that?)
So, we went to the beach of course--twice. Even though it never really got above 70 and was a little bit chilly. If you are in California, you HAVE to go to the beach no matter what.
We visited "the cousins". These are actually kids of Dennis' cousins. Not sure what that makes the relationship. First cousins once-removed, 2nd cousins?? This was Dennis' Uncle George & Aunt Joan's where if you step across the doorstep you are guaranteed to gain at least 10 pounds! Seriously! 
Of course we went to Disneyland. Will have to look for the first picture we took 7 years ago for a little then & now comparison.
We visited the wax museum. We actually did see one "live" celebrity on our trip. The comedian Chris Rock cut in front of everyone while we were in line for the roller coaster at Disney (when you are celebrity you don't have to stand in long lines). He was still outside the ride when we left and Tucker couldn't resist saying "Hey Chris Rock". We didn't go close though, he had a big body guard.
We also saw the walk of fame as well. Spencer really wanted to find Sandra Bullock's star (he's a big fan) but we never did see it.
Cooper played with the train at Dick & Doris' house (Dennis' aunt and husband). She has a big train set-up in her living room. He was thrilled!
Bumper cars at Knott's Berry Farm. They were pretty lame.
We rode almost all the coasters at Knott's. I thought it was pretty cool that I still was able to ride coasters without getting sick--until the next day that is. My back was killing me and still hurts. Oh well. This ride Tucker & Cooper believed Dennis when he said they wouldn't get wet. After about football field length drop straight down into water how could you believe that??
Nobody got lost. 
Although there were bouts of pouting.
A windy day at the beach. The kite flew for a little while.
Visited the Long Beach Aquarium with Dick & Doris, which we did the last trip as well. It is an awesome aquarium. Makes ours here in Seattle look amatuerish. It was really nice to spend time with them.
It's good to be home though!

Looks like you had a great time! Pouty photos and all - wouldn't be teens if you didn't have at least one of those.
And you got some sunshine!
WooHoo!
We can believe that Tucker and Cooper believed they wouldn't get wet. We can also believe that Spencer didn't believe it...thus, his notable absence from the front row. Hee hee.
How could you pout when there is an awesome giant rooster right behind you?
Guessing that the roller coaster reminded your back it was recently traumatized whilst sledding. Ouch.
Hope that heals up soon.
Glad it was a successful trip, and super glad you took two days to drive down.... now you need a rest.
Wow, action packed adventure! One day the boys will be grateful they had parents that were willing to drag them places, I know I am! Glad to see you had fun!
Excellant trip. Great family memories. We went to the Long Beach Aquarium last time and I agree, it is excellant.
Looks like so much fun. I just kept thinking how great it must be to vacation when your kids get older. Glad you all went and enjoyed!!!
