Jason and I wrapped up 2019 with a quick (kid-less) trip to Mexico City in November to see the Kansas City Chiefs take on the LA Chargers at Estadio Azteca. I was really surprised about how perfect the weather was there -- very cool and extremely comfortable. The experience at the stadium was really neat too!
We stayed in Polanco and I would definitely go back there to explore more of the restaurants, shops, night life, etc. The people were so friendly, it felt completely safe and it was so much more than taking in just a football game.

Luckily, they wrote letters to Santa asking nicely if he could come 10 days early. Guess what? Santa happily complied! We celebrated family Christmas at my parents house on Sunday December 15th. Even Mother Nature cooperated and gave us a white Christmas with 4+" of snow!
Getting to the Cook Islands in the far South Pacific can be an adventure in itself, so this time we decided to give ourselves more time and do a stopover in LA to visit Disneyland. We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel which was fabulous and a quick walk to the park entrance. Exploring Disney was the perfect way to prep for the long overnight flight. Everyone was pretty exhausted by the end of the day!

Fun fact: we were randomly selected at the entrance gate to help OPEN Disneyland for the day. We (along with another family) got to enter the park early, get pictures taken and lead the countdown to open up the park. It was a really fun experience!

Watch out: these kiddos have passports and know how to use them! More to follow on our adventures in Cook.
Signing off for now.
