Disneyland!!!

We have completely slacked off on our blog! Ever since we got back from our trip, it's been a whirlwind seeing people and starting to plan our wedding. But we didn't want to just abruptly end our California blog without completely finishing it so that we can have a full record of our wonderful trip. So here is more info on our last vacation day:


We woke up bright and early and felt like little kids again because it was Saturday and we planned to go to Disneyland!!! James hadn't been to Disneyland since high school and Megs hadn't been since 2002 so we were thrilled. Of course we had to pick one of the hottest days (temps in the upper 90's!), but we weren't gonna let anything stop us from having a great time and being kids for a day.
We made our way around the park mostly clockwise. We started with the Indiana Jones ride since it wasn't around the last time James had visited. What a fun ride that is! Then we continued on to Pirates of the Carribbean which was very refreshing--air conditioning! We also did the jungle ride--a little ghetto and old, but such a classic.

Then we were lucky enough to have Meg's dear friend Jaimee and her son Cayden come join us! Cayden is 5 years old and it was so fun being at Disneyland with a little kid. He absolutely loved James and was very glad that a guy was along for the Disneyland adventure. :) We went on the Toy Story ride, Space Mountain, Autopia, Materhorn, Big Thunder Mountain, the Haunted Mansion, etc. We basically hit all the big ones except Splash Mountain which had the longest line we'd ever seen. I know it's a water ride which would have been nice in that heat, but not sure that long of line was worth it! Cayden and James also went on the tea cups. So we covered most of the park. We were pretty proud of ourselves especially because riding those rides is a little tougher on our bodies now that we're older (so sad to admit that!). Small world was unfortunately closed (Megs wasn't too sad about that). All in all it was a pretty great day. The heat really started to affect us by the end of the evening so we decided to head home. What a wonderful day though!



What an awesome trip and one that we of course will remember for a very long time!! Thanks for following along our adventures with us. And thanks for all your fun emails and phone messages along the way! Farewell Cali and thanks for the fun memories!
