Now I get to go with my husband who is a big kid just like me. We spent the weekend after Mexico (April 24th) at home which was a nice change of pace.
We went to Disneyland and decided now that we have passes we want to explore the park from one side and comb through all the way to the other, not missing a detail!
Yep, this meant doing the Tiki room. This meant (attempting) it's a Small World (Robby made the exception for that ride, he hates it). This meant the train!! Which is my favorite! Robby hadn't ever rode on the train so I got to experience it again through his virgin eyes. When we first got on and went through a couple of the "lands" I started to get worried that we hadn't gotten to the dinosaur part yet. I started freaking out thinking that took it out!!! I would be devastated. Luckily after being on it for a bit we entered the Jurassic times. I don't know if anything else can remind me of so much of my childhood and teenage life. I think I've seen it hundreds and hundreds of times but it will always make me feel nostalgic and happy. I was so glad Robby got to see it, in all it's 1990 technological glory.
We even explored TOON TOWN. Which smelled like baby poo. But was still so much fun. Both Robby and I realized how much fun it will be to do this again with kids one day...but he says it will pretty much be him and the kids + 1 additional kid (me) that he'll be having to keep under control. I'm definitely still a kid when it comes to that stuff, but I think I'll share and let my kids have their turns too and won't fight with them too much about who gets to go first on a ride or to use "minnie mouses" computer in her home in Toon Town. But Robby can't talk, he's a kid too! If we were on Roger Rabbit's car ride I'm sure it would've been a different story.
Oh yeah, not at Disneyland, but at a Wallgreens nearby. Which was just as fun. Suddenly on the car ride over to Disneyland I lost hearing in one ear! It's happened before....so we went to Walgreens to get one of those things to clean out my ear. Meanwhile we found some trophies that said everything I couldn't.
St. George or Carland USA (in California Adventure) Dang, they're good! It looks real!
Us at Mickey's House. How do kids not get scared of this stuff.
The rest of the weekend was a little rainy so we just chilled and go to reconnect with old friends! We went to Sean and Jills with some Acai bowls and got to see Coco after months and months of not seeing her. And then went to dinner in Fullerton with Jason and Geri, one of Robby's optometry buddies and two of the most happy/kind people you will ever meet. They're a year ahead of Robby (used to be Robby's year before we took the year off) and so Jason already has a position lined up with a company in Texas, the one place that they both said they would never live! It's a great opportunity and a very pretty part of Texas. Jason is pulling big for us to come out there and join them....although I used to be anti-Texas as well I've been softening up towards it. What's with Texas suddenly becoming the hot spot??? We know lots of people who recently moved there or will be moving there soon. Maybe we will end up joining the bandwagon, but it would only be for the BBQ.
