So, realizing that we wouldn't get a chance to take a vacation this year with the baby coming this summer, we decided spur of the moment to take one this weekend! Here are the pictures from Friday at Disneyland (and yes, I was there, I just happened to be taking all the pictures)
We got to the park about 9am, because the bus never showed up and we had to walk. (That was fun! Luckily our motel was just around the corner on Ball Rd.) In about four hours we were able to go on almost every ride! It was awesome!! Because I’m pregnant, we knew I would not make it walking all day, so we got a wheel chair and got right in for most of the rides (definitely the way to see Disneyland!). I think the longest we ever waited in line was about 15min (amazing!!!!). Caleb and Angie even got to go on a few of the fast rides with very little wait because the park was not very crowded. They went on the Matterhorn and Splash Mountain (this has got to be one of the funniest pictures ever!)
At about 2pm it started raining and rained until about 6pm. Luckily we knew about the rain and brought an umbrella. We spent that time watching all the shows. Once the rain had stopped and we realized we had seen almost everything in the park, we decided to walk over to California Adventure and play until they closed. The park was totally empty, so we could ride as many times as we wanted. It was awesome!!! We saw “Muppets 3D” and “It’s tough to be a bug” and went on the “Monsters Inc.” ride, “Heimlich’s Chew, Chew Train” (twice) Angie and Caleb went on “Flicks Flyers” (twice). Caleb then ran ahead of us and went on “Tower of Terror” (again, no waiting, so why not!) We left the park at 9pm when they closed and got to watch a little bit of the fireworks at Disneyland as we were heading back to our motel. So, even with rain we had an amazing time and we ended up spending very little because arranged everything online before we left (which was great!)
Saturday we drove to LA and went to the Farmers Market there and it was amazing! I have never seen so many interesting things all in one place. We ate dinner at Joe’s Crab Shack (per Caleb’s request) and had delicious coconut shrimp (I hate shrimp, but Joe’s is darn good!). All in all it was a fantastic vacation!!!
