California Vacation

Here's a recap of the events since we left Mom and Dad's house in Springtown.

We flew out of DFW to John Wayne Airport in California on the 8th and enjoyed 5 glorious days in the Disneyland and California Adventure parks! 

This was Spencer's first time to fly and he loved it!

playing with the ipad to pass the time on the flight back!

The Disneyland Hotel did not disappoint us either.

There were some corporate groups having meetings and one of the pools were being refurbished...
.

but otherwise the weather was amazing and the crowds low!

Here are some pics of our hotel room too!

hidden Mickey's everywhere!

so relaxing...

just what I expected from Disney!

lovely artwork throughout! 

hidden Mickey's in the bedding...

and lamp base too...

vintage wallpaper in the main lobby!

A dream is a wish your heart makes!

The headboard lights up like fireworks! lol

We had a great view of one of Spencer's favorite rides... The Matterhorn Bobsleds!

It was a magical week hopping between the 2 parks. Disneyland is so nostalgic and the California Adventure had lots of fast rides to please Steve and Spencer. The Tower of Terror was terrifying! We used our magic morning for these two to ride California Screamin over and over, like 6 times in a row I think.

 I'm surprised I got any pics at all.
This roller coaster shoots off like 60 miles and hour! They loved every minute of it!

No visit is complete without some pictures with the characters!

We stumbled upon Alice and the Mad Hatter!

Here's Mater, he even talks!

Me and Jessie

Me and Pinnochio

Steve and some storm troopers!  

We ended our trip with a character breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen!

Here's Spencer and Rafiki

Dale playing tricks!

Chip visiting our table!

Me and my Fairy Godmother!

Pluto making his rounds!

Baloo and Spencer!

The Mad Hatter with the guys!

and no trip is complete without pictures in front of the castle !

my favorite shot of me and Spencer!

My prince charming!

oh and next time I'll be more prepared for the ridiculous prices on food!

 After the first day of sticker shock, we just loosened the purse strings and had some fun!



and don't forget about the perfect ending... fireworks!

Now onto our new adventure in New Mexico!
