Disneyland ... “The Happiest Place on Earth,”

March 26, 2010

We drove to Anaheim after Farah got home from school on Friday- the beginning of Spring Break, or as I used to call it Easter Vacation! We stayed with our cousins Debra Fitzpatrick, Julie Larsson, and her two daughters Brittney and Taylor. Saturday was Taylor's birthday, so we went to the happiest place on earth to celebrate- Disneyland! We had so much fun- we have season passes, so we park hopped from Disneyland to California Adventure. We rode the Indiana Jones ride, Pirates of the Caribbean, visited the Haunted Mansion, California Screamin, Tower of Terror, and much much more! Julie, Debra, and I enjoyed shopping all the specialty shops while the girls rode roller coasters. Debra was shopper of the day- she had to make a trip back to the car; because she had too many shopping bags. We met in New Orleans Square for lunch. It felt so good to sit down, visit, and eat. We stayed until both parks closed, and of course we hit IN-N-OUT on the way home.

It looks like you all had soooooooo much fun. We loved all the pictures, especially the one of Shelly & Julie wearing their mouse ears. Going to Disneyland for Taylor's birthday should become your new family tradition.
