Well it’s Monday and back to work!

This weekend was very fun & relaxing! My hubby took me to Disneyland for my birthday! What a treat! This is the first leisure trip we have been on without our precious baby girl “Alana”. Yes, we missed her very much, but I have to admit we had a blast! We have been away two other times without her, but it has been on business. Friday night we got to L.A. about 11 PM, checked into our hotel which we booked off of Priceline and saved over 50%. We had a HUGE, beautiful room! Saturday morning we were in Disneyland by 11 AM…..ha ha that is early for us. We usually show up about 1 – 2 PM (lol).

We were excited and anticipating the new “World of Color” water show at California Adventure. Upon arrival we were advised to get our FAST PASS as soon as possible to ensure being able to sit in the Viewing area.

We did that first thing and were given a YELLOW FAST PASS for the 10:15PM showing. So after our FAST PASS adventure, we had turtle talk with CRUSH, then off to the boardwalk in Paradise Pier to play some games. Jeremy won a cute stuffed Dumbo, we thought was for Alana, but after about 10 minutes of carrying it around the park, Jeremy felt to give it to some little kid. J ha ha (Alana has plenty of toys, she definitely didn’t need another thing) So off to Disneyland to see the Hill Billy show and Capitan EO. Let me say this, I was not impressed with Capitan EO. In fact, if I wouldn’t have been sitting directly in the middle, I pry would have walked out. Talk about EVIL. That was disgusting. No wonder Michael Jackson had the issues he had, entertaining junk like what was presented in that show. EW! Anyways, after Capitan EO we left back to the room for a nap. About 2 hours later we were back at California Adventure to watch the spectacular musical “Aladdin”. We have loved this show since we first saw it in 2003. *by the way, the last showing of this awesome musical will be August 15^th. * If you haven’t seen it, and are planning a trip to Disneyland, be sure to check it out at the Hyperion Theater in Hollywood’s backlot. Time for dinner at Condor Flats and then off to get in line to view World of Color. We got in line around 9:30 PM and were escorted to the viewing area around 10 PM. The show was absolutely amazing. The technology they have is incredible. A must see!

Day 2 (Sunday) we slept in…which was nice! Got to Disneyland about 12:30 and headed straight to the pier for a Bread Bowl of Broccoli & Cheese Soup….mmmmm yummy and full of calories…ewe whoops.

We ended up sharing a Turkey Sandwich and a Bread Bowl of soup…so maybe the calories were not too bad (WINK)

Once we finished eating we headed over to Disneyland to ride Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain. The lines were too long so we decided we would buy Alana a surprise and head out. We ended up getting her a stuffed Pooh Bear and headed out. Traffic was horrible. From Disneyland to Santa Clarita it was stop n go….grrrrrr. I hate traffic!

We stopped in Bakersfield to eat at Applebee’s (Thanks Jon & Brit)! It was yummy! Then homeward bound to see our Pumpkin!

We got home and got everything unpacked and then got the call that Church was out and we could come get Alana! Yay…we were so excited to see her!

She loved her Pooh Bear and was glad to see Mommy n Daddy!

Thanks to my parents for keeping her for 2 nights! Thanks to my in-laws for taking her to see “Auntie T” on Saturday! We love you all, and we had a blast!
