Now that I am a full-time housewife, I am in charge of getting us ready for trips. It's really fun, actually, to do the laundry, packing, plan our food, etc. I spent Wednesday morning doing some final preparation (including some essential shopping at Banana Republic, of course!) and then picked up Bruce from work and away we went!
We arrived in good time in Anaheim (around 8:30pm) and we met up with Bruce's aunts and grandma in Disneyland the next day. Bruce and I wore our mouse ears faithfully and I had the corn dog I've been craving since 2009. Sadly, Indiana Jones was closed, but I went on every single ride I wanted to go on (with the exception of It's a Small World)
Disneyland at Halloween isn't nearly as cool as Disneyland at Christmas, but the weather was definitely better than our last trip (December 30th-ish - lots of cold rain + keds = misery for kt). We had so much fun with Bruce's family and also got to check out California Adventure for the first time. That being said, three days was perfect, and I wouldn't have wanted to spend any more time there :)
Highlights:
- Soarin' over California
- Riding Thunder Mountain Railroad at night
- Radiator Spring Racing (new Cars ride at California Adventure)
- Watching the World of Color (new light/water show at California Adventure)
- Corn Dogs
- High-fiving Easton (2 years old) about 20 times after he 'flew' the rockets in Tommorowland
- Bruce pushing me in a wheelchair for 2/3 days so that my feet didn't die
