Disneyland 2012

Well here we are - almost 4 months later!  Not much out of the ordinary has been going on.  Just the everyday preschool and starting t-ball in March.  However - we did have the best vacation ever to the happiest place on earth just a little over a week ago - DISNEYLAND!  I have been begging to go since we've been here since I have never been to the land of Mickey Mouse in all my 31 years!  What a deprived childhood I lived - just kidding mom!

We started off our week in Anaheim with a visit back to the Angels Stadium to see them battle it out with.........oh I don't know.  I was there to eat an overpriced hot dog and drink an even more overpriced $12 blue moon - geez!  The boys love going to the games and it was the grandparents and Uncle Nick's first time to a pro baseball game.  


The next day began the happiest, longest, most traveled by foot 3 days in Disney.  We picked some great days to go with minimal (5 minute) waiting for rides if we had to wait at all.  Most of the time we just walked straight on.  I was a giddy grown woman seeing all the sights and getting to have my picture taken with Mickey!

Nana was able to watch a t ball game.  Jackson is playing great and enjoying it for the most part.  Some games he is 'over it' but he is improving.  He even made a play and got to be 'pitcher' last game!

We rounded out the week at the Avila Farmer's Market where we noshed on tri-tip sandwiches and corn on the cob.  






 It was a fantastic week!  While we were at the happiest place on earth we finalized our house in Springfield, VA and got Jackson enrolled in preschool for the fall.  We have 2 months left in California and we are trying to redo all our favorites one last time - maybe another trip to Disney to see Cars Land will be included;)
