California Adventures

This past weekend was a spur of the moment trip to California that turned out brilliant. There was something really magical about the trip, and not because we went to Disneyland, but rather because it's wonderful to have great friends that are so comfortable together and allow you to be your self. It's friends that will cram into a photo booth, skip down Disneyland, dance on the beach, laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself, and rock-out in a car.

Things I Loved about the Trip in Pictures

Sand between the toes



Watching the waves crash



Never being too OLD to build a sandcastle



Finding someone else to willing to get wet




Dancing on the beach



A spectacular crash and burn

Jumping in the waves



Not caring that the water was SUPER cold



Climbing the cliff



Enjoying the views with friends

DISNEYLAND



Anticipation



Riding that first ride



Wearing crazy hat...I should have taken up the bet to wear it all day, because don't I look good in it? :)



Channeling our inner princess



Choosing the right path to all over the best rides at Disneyland (well maybe not all the rides)











Out spinning everybody else. . . even if it did make us slightly sick



Finally being able to ride the Davy Crockett Canoes





Finding that the jokes still haven't changed, yet still laughing at them



Decreasing our age by about about 10 years



Being able to experience a NEW park

Beautiful architecture

Four adults, one photo booth, and one digital camera
