TYCTWD 2018

Annual Take Your Child To Work Day.  Dad's 9th annual and Mom's 3rd annual.   Day 1 for K-3. 

My silly parents. Day 2 for 3-8th grade.

Mom had a meeting, so special having dad all to myself, 

Lin Manuel Miranda's In the Heights (his musical before Hamilton), such a treat.  

Boys afternoon at out at the movies with Dad. 

I made Apple Strudel for the first time (Ethan).  Family loved it and wanted more.  

Teddy sending us off to our 1st Girl Scout camping trip.

DC, Anaheim, cousins and 40th celebration

8th grade Washington DC trip.  So much fun, wish we could stay longer. 

34 Cabrillo students in front of the iconic Washington Monument 

While I was in DC, Mom went down to Anaheim for more Disney fun.  She worked during the day and played at CA Adventure at night for a private work party. 

We took care of cousin Olivia while her parents snuck away to Vegas to celebrate their 5th anniversary.  Can you tell who makes her happy? 

FFF - teaching Olivia how to play Monopoly. 

Afternoon Jamba juice break 

More playtime with our cousins 

Celebrating buddies Rowena and Dale's 40th at Mosaic.  Auntie Ro was Mom's Sr. year roomie and Uncle Dale sang at their wedding. 

SCU gang - always a fun time when we get together

First cruise

After a crazy week with YouTube's incident (dad was in that building) our long awaited trip could not have come at a better time for much needed quality family time.   Mickey warmly welcomed us on his ship. 

All 27 of us cleaned up for formal night.  Right before the trip, our extended family was dealing with gun violence (at YouTube), stress, health, potential missed flights etc ... so grateful we all made it to simply celebrate being together! 

Louie and Chan cousins sporting our family shirts created by Auntie Shannon (thanks!)

All our names are on the back. 

We're ready to sail away with Mickey, Minnie and friends. 

Mom and her sister, Auntie Tracy ... we hope one day we can sail with all the Wang siblings / cousins. 

Door decoration - thanks Auntie Shirley for your awesome craftiness!  

Our home for the week - so cozy and comfy

Our favorite party host #TonyFromSpain ... the aunties (and mom) kept talking about him 

Fancy breakfast 

Can't beat this ocean view dining 

View from our room 

We often found ourselves staring at this view in awe

I (Tyler) competed for the Star Wars Super Fan title and came in 1st place! Ethan also won the Star Wars trivia in the teen club.  Guess watching all those movies finally paid off.

Late night evening stroll on the deck sans kids 

Before our cruise, we visited the Kennedy Space Center ... truly amazing how big our galaxy is ... so much more to discover 

We also visited an alligator swamp and got to hold a baby alligator 

We got back on Saturday and on Sunday I left for my 8th grade Washington DC trip.  Woohoo - 2 big back to back trips.
