Hello Everyone!
Do you ever have that weird feeling when you come home from vacation, and feel like your vacation was wonderful but not necessarily relaxing... and you feel more tired after than before you left? That's how I currently feel. I feel as if I'm still recovering from our California trip.
Parker and I had the awesome opportunity to go to DISNEYLAND with a couple of new friends. It was absolutely wonderful. I've always told Parker that I wanted to go to Disney before we had kids. We cut it close but we made it happen and I'm sure our little bean loved all the stimuli.
We got to the park around 11 on Friday and ran all day. We ate churros, were serenaded by a live jazz band , laid on the couches in the Lincoln Theater and rode the riverboat to relax from all of the line standing and ride riding. Parker hadn't been to Disneyland for 11 years! Which is crazy to me. California Adventure didn't even exist when he came last. His favorite was the Car's Racing ride. We road it twice and it was awesome! We saw Mickey and Minnie and took quizzes to see which Disney Character we were most like. I got Belle and Parker was Buzz Lightyear. We rode the classics like Pirates of the Caribbean and Peter Pan. As always Soarin' Over California was great and reminded us that California is awesome. We saw World of Color and rode the Haunted Mansion. I'm very excited about our "Happy Haunt" that we got to bring home. Being there just made me feel so excited to take our children someday. It was perfect.
On an even happier note we got to help our pal Saul propose to his adorable girlfriend Rachel. He asked her on Splash Mountain and it was so stinkin cute. We made signs so the boys could hold them up on the ride when the picture is taken. Poor Rachel was in the front of the log, looking like she wasn't going to make it. Saul asked her to marry him in front of the picture monitors at the end of the ride. It was so happy and clever and I'm so excited for them! They are going to be great. I'm so grateful that I was able to be a part of something so exciting.
The day after Disneyland we went to the beach, ate delicious food and saw a car show. I feel so blessed to be able to have these adventures. I'm doing my best to never take it for granted.
Much love,
Sydney L
