disneyland

Confession: I had never been to Disneyland in all my years on this earth.

Can you believe it?! I'd been to Disney World plenty of times, but had never ventured to its west-coast counterpart. So when I decided on a Wednesday to go to Disneyland on a Friday, I was pretty pumped! 

I went with a group of friends - all Disneyland pros - and had a great time! I rode the rides (even got a little nauseous), ate the most delicious peanut butter-cracker-chocolate thing, and enjoyed the "spirit of Disney." Even with little sleep and lots of time in the car, it was such a fun day!

Tower of Terror - I promise I was having fun, despite what it looks like in this picture

The girls - one of my favorite pictures!

All in all, a really fantastic day at the "happiest place on earth"

We stayed at a really nice beach house in Oceanside - I just wished we would've had more time to enjoy it! It was kind of a whirlwind trip. The girls did sneak in a little beach time on Sunday afternoon before heading home, which was just what I needed (until a bunch of seagulls attacked me and my lunch...whatever...I'm not bitter anymore...).

Lucky for me, my mom and I are headed to So Cal again in a few weeks - and this trip will entail lots of beach time, so I should get my fill...for about a month :) 

Disneyland: 

I kind of like you. I'll be seeing you before another 26 years goes by.
