Disneyland

On Friday afternoon we decided to go away for 4 days with a stopover at Grandma's in San Diego and then off to Disneyland. Due to the generosity of family and the Give a Day/Get a Day program we were able to get in with only having to purchase one ticket. The drawback was that we had to go the same week that Dan has a business trip planned. So while I type this Dan is flying to Dallas.

We headed up to Anaheim Sunday afternoon. We got to the hotel and swam and visited the game room. Then we went and checked out Downtown Disney. We went to the hotel at bedtime and got up at the crack of dawn to go to the Magic Kingdom.
Dan's sister Emily is also on Spring Break from her student teaching so she came along with us. It was nice having an adult for every kid. Two days for Disneyland was perfect. I recommend if you have never been to take the two days with a hotel close by. We enjoyed leaving early on Day 1 for a dip in the pool; also the baby got a long nap in the room before we headed back that night.
Overall we had a fabulous trip. I forgot to pack my tennis shoes, so my legs are tired from wearing flip flops (they were good ones, so my feet don't hurt.) The baby woke up every 2 hours at night so I was exhausted. But the boys were very good and we ignored Alex's anxiety as best we could. We had fun! And we won't need to go back until Macey is four which seems to be the tradition around here.


On the third try, Alex was picked for Jedi training. I'm glad. It is too bad that not every kid can do it.
