The Happiest Place on Earth

We have just returned from the Happiest Place on Earth last week. Scott and I decided at the last minute we would surprise the kids with a quick trip to Disneyland. We found a hotel right across the street from the park. We left our house at two in the morning (only because we are way too cheap to spend the extra money for a night in the hotel), and arrived at Disneyland at 8:00 in the morning. We had enough time to get dressed in the van, and had breakfast at Denny's. I now know what it is like to be homeless because Carly and I had to finish getting ready in the Denny's bathroom. We arrived at the park at 9:30 and went right in to the park. We only waited 15 minutes for each ride and had a blast. We went to Disneyland and California Adventures Thursday and Friday. Then Saturday we met my beautiful sister-in-law and awesome brother-in-law at Seal Beach. We did some shopping and ate lunch then we all went and played at the beach. My brother-in-law Brian taught my kids how to boogie board and they did great! After a few hours of playing we said goodbye to Jen and Brian, and took the scenic route to San Diego where my other wonderful Brother-in-law and sister-in-law lives. We arrived at their house in time for dinner and went to Chuck-E-Cheeses. The next day we toured San Diego and rode a train and ate at the Burger Factory. Afterwards we went back to their condo and went swimming. When the kids were tired of swimming we cleaned up and went to dinner at Chipote's. Then we took a nice long relaxing walk on the Pacific Beach. The next day we went home and back to work. We all had a great time, and can't wait to go back again soon..I hope.
