California Trip 2011

Just got back on Tuesday from our trip to California to visit hubby's dad and the rest of the family. Tanis did very well on the plane ride both to and from Cali, he got a little fussy at one point but it wasn't so bad. Visited Disneyland for the first time and had a lot of fun, could've have done without the 45 min wait in lines but otherwise it was fun. A little different than what I thought it would be like, from what I've seen on tv and movies. I got my mouse ears, Tanis got to meet Mickey (with a fully loaded diaper!), and I got to see Sleeping Beauty's Castle the top things I wanted to do. Next time we're going to the California Adventure park and just go on the rides. Since it was my first time, I wanted to see the original Disneyland.

California was nice, different from Maui, in the sense that every few miles you'd see towns. Where in Maui, after a mile or two it was the ocean or forestry. A lot of things were cheaper, I got 2 pairs of shoes at the swap meet for just $12 bucks! I enjoyed my time there and it made me appreciate Maui and it's beauty a lot more. I look forward to going to California again and hopefully it won't be another ten years before we see the Cali family.

The only thing I would do without was the airport security and the airport scene, with all the extra security and fuel costs it made things more costly and hectic. All I know is I think we're gonna purchase an extra seat. It was nice to have that space with the baby, and thankfully we had a extra seat on both flights. It made the world of difference!
