Disneyland!!

Josh and I just got back from a wonderful weekend at Disneyland! Yes, we went just us two. We dropped the kids off in Middleton and flew out of Boise. It was so much fun being with Josh at Disneyland! The park was all decorated with Halloween, it was so cool. They changed the Haunted Mansion into "Nightmare Before Christmas" with Jack Scarington all over. The characters were in their halloween duds and the giant pumpkins were amazing. We got to be kids again, well until Josh got sick, not from the rides but nonetheless sick. He was a trooper and we still did a ton. We walked so much and so fast that by Sat we were exhausted. We rode every ride we wanted to and only waited about 20 min in each line. Well the new Toy Story ride was about 30 min, but worth it. We ate some great food including Blue Bayou (inside Pirates of the Carribean ride), Hook's Pointe and Goofy's Kitchen. Blue Bayou was by far the BEST! Some of our favorite rides were California Screamin, Tower of Terror, Toy Story Mania, Splash Mtn, Space Mtn and Pirates. The fireworks were great, we watched from on top of the river boat. We saw a lot of characters the most friendly- Pluto; the most unfriendly- Sully! We had a really nice room at the Disneyland Hotel and it was nice to be right there, I couldn't have imagined walking any farther to a hotel. We missed a few things like the tea-cups and Mr. Toads's wild ride but we'll get to them next time. I am so glad we had a chance to go just the two of us for a couple of reasons: first it was a much needed getaway for us, it is great to fall in love AGAIN, and second, now I know what I would and wouldn't do with the kids with us. With that said it was great to see the kids on Sunday, and a BIG shout out "THANKS" to Dave, Audrey, Jason, and Cori for watching our little munchkins. They had so much fun in Idaho! They all loved the Mickey and Minnie Ears we brought back for them (picture coming soon). Josh made the comment that only at Disneyland could a grown man wear mickey ears and not get crap for it. He is right. It is such a fun place where imagination is overflowing! I can't wait to go again!! WAHOO!
