A judge in Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli's college admissions scandal case has given the couple the green light to head to Mexico for a family vacation.
In a court documented filed on Thursday obtained by Fox News, U.S. District Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton signed off on the actress and her fashion designer husband's separate requests filed last week.
In both requests, Loughlin and Giannulli shared their desire to travel to San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico to "spend time with family."
The couple's vacation will mark the first time they will travel internationally since completing individual prison sentences for their involvement in the nationwide scandal.

In their separate requests, attorneys for Loughlin, 56, and Giannulli, 57, argued that both have "presented respectfully and cooperatively in all interactions" with their probation officers.
Giannulli's lawyer informed the court the $250,000 fine he owed per the terms of his sentence has been "satisfied" and he is "actively working on completing his community service requirement." Similarly, Loughlin's attorney confirmed she has paid her $150,000 fine off in full and already completed her community service requirements.
