Hey, I thought that it would be fun to continue updating the blog site for those of you that just happen to venture online over the holiday break...as a matter of fact, I am going to make a one time offer of xtra credit to those of you who leave a posted response attached to this blog entry! Not bad for minor amount of work. So let me know what class you are from and your name by the end of your post so that proper credit can be given to those who have happened upon it.
On to the blog...
This year my family and I decide to throw a bunch of money away on getting annual passes for the Disneyland Theme Park in Anaheim. Honestly, in spite of it being a significant amount to drop for going to a very touristy place, it has been a good time. The kids get all freaked out about the trip whenever we bring it up and that in and of itself is a fantastic thing. Our journey started today at 1:30 am...that's right, night driving. If I have learned one thing in taking several trips to Disneyand it is that you do not want to make that trip during the daytime hours with 5 children if you can help it. Every new town that you happen upon has it's own set of pitfalls and time sucking traps that keep you off of the road. Things like going potty, eating, buying snacks, coffee, gas, car sickness and the list goes on and on. The night drive is a dream! Everyone sleeps (with the exception of the driver) and usually wakes up near LA. It just feels like a shorter trip all the way around...Not this year. This year we hit fog right outside of Merced that lasted for 3-4 hours. It didn't let up until it became burned off by the morning sun. We were also battling some minor car problems that I think will hold off until we get home. So a little worse for wear, we pulled into the hotel parking lot at 9:30 this morning. Our day promises to be fun filled and highly eventfull!...
OK, when I started this post it was this morning, now I am ready to go to bed and just d.i.e. . I am soooo tired. We hit up the park pretty hardcore and rode lots of fun rides. A great first day.
