DISNEYLAND!

We made it and took a week to recoop. So we left Friday afternoon and arrived in Anaheim a little after midnight. Saturday we did Disneyland and it wore us out! We did Autopia, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean. Saw the Honey, I Shrunk the Audience 3D movie.

Saturday night, Spencer got sick and was sick through the night. Bad enough we had to change hotel rooms. Talk about an upgrade!!! We went from the priceline special, to the Hotel Monaco almost. But Sunday after some rest, he was ready to go at it again.

We took it easy on Sunday. Went to Pirate Island and saw Jack Sparrow. I think that made the trip for Spence. He was on cloud 9 after Jack gave him a necklace and talked to him. After that, we rode the monorail and did Nemo's Submarine adventure. We left the park on Sunday about 4pm and hit the road.

We were making some good time and then hit some deadlock traffic about an hour from Vegas. We sat on the freeway for and hour and a half. Finally, they cleared the accident and we were bookin' again. We made it to Mesquite at about 10 and were planning to stop for the night, but every hotel was booked, except for 1 room at the Best Western. It was a $100 bucks for the night, but I figured we would lose at least $50 at the tables, then another $30 for dinner.... so we decided to make the trip home. So, I tanked a couple Full Throttles and we pulled in the driveway at about 5:30am.

We had a great time. It was better for us to only invest 3 days into the trip, since we have never been. Now we know for next time the things we will do differently for sure. Enjoy the pics!

True Colors

What do you think, does this sound like me? And Disneyland trip overview is coming soon....

Take this test!
You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful color that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanor. Energetic and fun-loving, you're a real friend-magnet. Your easy charm and unassuming manner make you the sort of person people want to meet and get to know better. Well-rounded and fun to be around, you enjoy helping others, so it's no surprise that orange also symbolizes attraction. Orange is an extraordinary color — for an extraordinary person.

DISNEYLAND, HERE WE COME!!!


I've done my planning, grocery shopping, filled the car with gas. The car is packed and ready to go. I am now waiting for Ryan and Spencer, then we are on our way to Disneyland! This was a last minute trip. We were supposed to be skiing this weekend. I am so excited! I have never been to California, let alone Disneyland. I did Disneyworld as a kid. I'm not looking so forward to the 12 hour trip to get there and back, but we are going to have a blast! Look for pics in the upcoming week!

Fries or Crap?


Have you been to McDonald's or Wendy's lately? Ordered up some fries? Remember the fries that tasted oh so good? Well it is a thing of the past. Apparently, the oil of which the yummy fries contained trans fat, "Trans fat is the common name for a type of unsaturated fat with trans- isomer fatty acid(s). Trans fats may be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated", according to Wikipedia. Therefore, for the greater good of society we are left with, yip you guessed it, crappy fries. To those individuals that seemingly can't control themselves with the holier than thou and seem to at every turn want to tell me what to do, I say thank you for saving my life you idiot. As if I didn’t already know french fries were bad for my health. I take risks according to my tastes and preferences. It is the very freedom that I subscribe to in this great country. If I choose to slowly kill myself by eating fries I feel it is my right. Who knows maybe I run 5 miles a day to offset such intake of trans fat food. Perhaps, I vomit the fries in an effort to save myself from the harmful effects of such consumption. Either way, NO one called me up and asked if I supported such a ban. This country seems to be more rapidly controlled by a few individuals that love to tell me what to do. I am waiting the notification of do’s and don’ts from my government. Perhaps skiing will be banned due to sighted health risks. Either way please stop telling me what to do!
