If you havent noticed, I was gone the last few days. Well, My mom took us on a small vacation.
We took my kids to Disneyland/California Adventure for 3 days, This was there first trip there. We stayed at the Paradise Pier Hotel one of the Disneyland Resorts. My son, who's 5 years old was just tall enough to hit his head on the 48" signs, so we basically got to go on EVERYTHING.
First ride. Its a Small World, Had to do it first. Im glad we did this first. We hit Autopia next, then the fun began. We hit Star Tours, one of my favorite rides when I was a kid. The Matterhorn Bobsleds our first "wild" one. and boy my kids LOVED IT, we hit it all 3 days. I thought for sure they would get scared. NOPE! We hit most of the small rides like the Tea Cups, then we hit Splash Mountain. My son got to sit in front all 3 times we rode it.
After that we hit California adventure. I didnt have my hopes up because alot of people have told me that it basically sucked. But boy, it was cool.
We hit the Grizzly River Run all 3 days,this along with Splash Mountain were daughter's favorite, why, because she got WET. After that we hit the Golden Zephyr. I dont get why they call it golden, when the thing is SILVER!! Hit the Orange Stinger, Jumpin Jellyfish, and the Maliboomer. Then it was time for the big one.
Screamin California, this was another ride we hit all 3 days. The funniest part about it... On the third day, right after we got off the ride, someone lost a hat, it got stuck on the tracks and stuck 3 cars at various spots on the track.
We hit the Tower of Terror. it was a fun ride, and My son couldnt get enough of it, After that ride, its all he could talk about. Of course, I had to buy him the "I Survived" t-shirt
We hit every ride, except the really kiddy ones. My kids had a good time, as did the 3 adults that were there.
The nightly fireworks shows were awsome, one of the "Cast Members" told me it costs them 1500 a night. Tinkerbell looks totally REAL, wigglin legs and all. We got to see the Fantasmic show last night. lots of lighting effects, flames and more fireworks. The show is held of the "Rivers of America" (yes on the actual water) and alot of Charater acting on Tom Sawers island.
It just feels good to be home. I feel like Ive walked a few hundred miles as we walked back and forth between the parks several times every day, I even still have parts of the stamp for all 3 days on my left hand lol. I know I will hate going back to work, heck, I hate being back in the heat, but glad to be able to sleep in my own bed tonight.
