Disneyland!! Long Overdue

Well, it has taken forever but we are finally getting around to posting pictures from our Disneyland trip back in March. Mike and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on March 10th of this year and we decided to celebrate by going to Disneyland. It is my absolute favorite place in the world so it was perfect :) We went the last weekend of March because Mike's cousin Brian was also celebrating his birthday and we all decided it would be fun to go together. It was a blast!

We started the trip Thursday afternoon when we dropped baby Lena off at Aunt Emily's for the weekend. I cried for about a half hour, but it was ok. We met up with Brian, Carrie and Addie and started the drive over to Anaheim, CA to meet up with Aunt Gloria and to our surprise cousin Kevo was there too! We got settled in at the hotel and tried hard to fall asleep due to our excitement for what was going to happen the next day!!

We all got up early on Friday morning and started our long first day at Disneyland!

Here we are with our tickets ready to enter the park.

Mike and I inside the park for the very first time together.

One of our first rides was Peter Pan. Fantasy Land is definitely a wonderful place to start your Disneyland adventure :)

Our next stop was Toon Town where we had a lot of fun. Here are a few pictures of us goofing off.

What a strong husband I have!

I had a harder time of it :)

For some reason we got stuck in the dog house. I don't know what we did :(

Ships Ahoy Captain!

Our next stop was Space Mountain. Oh My Heck we love that ride!! Honestly, by far one of the greatest, if not THE greatest ride ever!

I love Aunt Gloria's face in this picture :)

A little glimpse of the Bull and the Bear that kept showing up all over the park that day :)

The traditional picture in front of the Walt Disney Statue.

The day continued with the same amount of go go go! I swear we didn't stop. We ended after 15 hours. We all walked back to the hotel like 80 year olds that needed hip replacements. It was great, but our bodies from our heads to our toes were aching. We were ready for round two the next morning though!

Another traditional picture in front of the Mickey Mouse Flowers.

On day 2 we spent some time at California Adventure. One of my favorite rides there is the Tower of Terror, can you tell by my face?

This is the perfect picture to sum up our time at the park

After day 2 we drove down to San Diego to spend some time before we had to make the drive home. We were able to spend Sunday relaxing and giving our bodies a chance to heal. We went the one of Mike's favorite restaurants that night called Filippi's. We met up with Mike's Uncle Bruce, his girlfriend Adele and her daughter Jodi. It was a really fun night.

We got up Monday morning and got ready to make the drive home. I was so ready to see and hold my baby again. Mike got pulled over while driving us back but luckily we got off without a ticket :) We finally made it to Emily's house at about 8:00 and I got to hold my baby again. It was the most perfect ending to a very fun weekend!

  2. You're givin' me the Disney itch! So Fun! I'd probably miss my baby tons too but it looks like you had lots of fun. I really like the picture of you standing in front of "and they lived happily ever after", where you are kissing...aww, that's too cute.
