As a birthday surprise for Kathleen, we went to Disneyland this weekend. We had a quick, but very fun trip. Disneyland is only 9 hours away.
We left home after school--
Drove to a rest stop near Barstow California and attempted to sleep for a few hours--
We started driving again around 3:45 AM and drove to Huntington Beach to see the sunrise. We not only saw the sunrise, we saw dolphins playing in the surf. It was at that point that I realized that I left my camera at home--
After finding a parking spot we finally made it to Disneyland around 8:30.
Incredibly we were able to ride all of the rides that we wanted to ride. There were a lot of people there, but the longest we had to wait for a ride was about 40 minutes. We hit all of the big rides and some of the smaller ones too. Our feet were tired and we were hungry from such a busy fun day!
We were going to go back on to Space Mountain if the line was less than 30 minutes after we ate dinner- it was a 60 minute wait time so we decided that we could visit the shops and then drive to the hotel.
I don't remember even pulling the blankets up- I think I fell asleep before my head hit the pillow.
I actually slept in until 8:30 this morning. We had a little church service while driving back home. Joe spoke about choosing good music, Eric spoke about how computers and technology can be used for bring the gospel to others through genealogy, Kathleen spoke on the historical value and spiritual value of scriptures and I spoke on being driven- I was driving so I was assigned that talk. So, I spoke about commitment.
We drove non-stop except for the 15 minutes gas station break.
We made it home to a wonderful supper that Marty made.
We are all tried, but happy. We had a great time in Disneyland!
Tomorrow I will do my special blog on Kathleen
