The Happiest Place on Earth
Last month Keao and I celebrated our second full year of marriage (yay!). To celebrate we decided to take a short trip to LA (yay again!). Now, when it comes to planning trips, I like to squeeze in as much as I can because I only have a limited time so after flying all night (we landed at LAX at 6:30am) we got our rental car and drove straight down to Anaheim, home of the Disneyland Resort. Now if you do the math that meant that we only had around 4 hours of sleep on the airplane (by which I mean I slept and Keao read a book next to me) before we started our really long day.
We first met up with Nich and Tricia for breakfast as we would be spending the day with them. Tricia, our roommate, spent the summer in California and Colorado going to various conferences and doing some vacationing so we hadn’t seen her since May. Nich, her boyfriend, lives in California so we hadn’t seen him since before even that. So after scarfing down some food from Mimi’s Cafe, we headed over to Disneyland for our day full of fun.
We decided to go to California Adventure first and after taking a few pictures we headed to the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.
Look! We’re on a really long street!

Notice the difference in architecture in the Japanese version?
She how happy she is?
People also noticed the big turkey leg I ate while I walked by them too. One of the best things about Disney theme parks is the turkey legs. I’m sure you have seen pictures of me eating them before, but just in case you haven’t, here’s one more.

This parade almost made us late for our Fast Pass to Soarin’ over California
I wonder what it would take to get me in there…
I’m not going to lie, it was a long day. We didn’t leave the theme park until almost midnight and if you compound that with our lack of sleep we were pretty beat. We did manage to sleep in a little the next day though. I’ll tell you about that adventure real soon.
