Spring Break!!

Our vacation this year was to Disneyland. We left the Saturday before Easter and came back the next Friday.

Saturday we got to the hotel about 3:30 or 4:00 and the boys immediately went to the pool.

Sunday we got up and spent Easter at Disneyland and California Adventure. We were hoping since it was Easter that there was something 'special' going on, but no luck, it was just a regular day. We stayed for a good part of the day and then went back to the hotel and the boys, again, went straight into the pool, after waiting 30 minutes from dinner of course:)

We spent Monday at Disneyland and California Adventure as well. It is nice becuase in Cal. Adv. a lot of the rides have single rider lines which, for those of you who aren't familiar with it, is where you can get a pass from the person at the entrance to the line to the ride and it allows you to go in through the exit and then when there is an odd number of people in a group they ask for single riders and you go. This can be good or bad. The bad part is that you aren't gauranteed to ride with your group. The good part is that you don't have to wait in the line. So we took advantage of this with the boys and they went back and forth on a few rides while Diego and I hung out and 'people watched'.

Tuesday we spent the day at Universal Studios. We had never been there before so we weren't sure what to expect as far as rides, etc. We got there and got our tickets and headed off for the tour. This is a 'tram' (for lack of a better word) type car thing hooked to two other car things and they drive you around the whole lot. They show you the sound stages, some of the special effects, alot of the scene stages for different shows. It was pretty cool. I think one of the best parts was when we went past a scene shot for King Kong. There will be a picture of this later, it is of a boat and the rocks on the water, seriosly, it was the size of a science fair project, it was cool. We stayed until they closed at 7 and went back to the hotel and yes, back to the pool.

Wednesday was our last day at Disney. We started in Cal. Adv. this time, but by now Diego and I were pretty Disney'd out, so we let the boys go and do some of the single rider lines that they now have in Disneyland (this is new, Splash Mountain and something else now have single riders!) and a few hours later decided that we would call it a day and head back to the hotel. Yes they did:)

Thursday was the beach day. We drove down to Newport Beach and hung out there for the day. The water was a littel chilly but the boys really enjoyed it. We did the all time favorite 'burying in the sand', walked down the pier and just relaxed. We spent the evening back at the hotel and the pool.

Friday we got up at 4 am and got our stuff ready to come home. We got back around 3:00 pm and pretty much relaxed the rest of evening.
It was a great trip. It is always nice to get away from the everyday worries, but it is also nice to come home, especially to your own bed. There is just nothing like it.
