Pit Stop

So we made a small pit stop on the way to AZ. I couldn't help driving by Disneyland and NOT stopping! We had a rough start to the trip with puke in the first 30 minutes. A stop to clean up at Subway, and a dose of Dramamine later, we were on our way. It took us 16+ hours to get to Anaheim, and NONE of us slept. We got to the hotel at 6AM!!!! We look a couple of hours to nap and get breakfast and hit the park by 10AM. I went ALONE with the girls to give Lance a chance to sleep a bit more. He met up with us a couple of hours later. We had such a blast. I haven't done Disneyland "kid style", aka no scary or fast rides, in a long time. Lance took the little girls back to the hotel to nap and G and I ran around and got as many rides in as possible. She had a hard time understanding why we had to wait so long to get on, but we made up games, and made silly faces, and had photo shoots, so it was a good time. We exited the park just before the fireworks started and got in our jammies and started the drive home. We had the perfect view of the fireworks from our car! We drove through the night AGAIN! We made it to Gilbert around 4AM, but leg of the trip all the girls slept soundly. We were so grateful for such a fun and safe 22+ hour drive.
