Disneyland Vacation

Our long awaited vacation to Disneyland arrived last weekend and hubby, myself and the kids had such a blast! It doesn't matter how old you are, Disneyland is for EVERYone! I was telling our friends and family we are "taking the kids to Disneyland"... but the reality of it is... we are taking "us" to Disneyland... I'm just as in love with Disneyland as the kids are! lol! It's like... once you enter the park, you are a kid all over again... it's such an amazing place to be... it's no wonder they call it "The happiest place on earth!" It truly is... and what's so funny is we ran into Corey Feldman (from "Lost Boys" and "The 2 Corey's")... we ran into him at the park AND at our hotel later than night... how weird is that?!

We met my brother and his girlfriend at the park on day #2. Hubby isn't a roller-coaster kind of guy and my eldest son Jarrod just hit 48 inches and was old enough to ride everything! We had hopper passes so we rode all the roller coasters at Disneyland (minus the Matterhorn) and California Adventure... "Screamin'" was AWESOME... 0 to 60 MPH in 2 seconds -- gotta love it! :-)

Anyhow, here are a few pics of our vacation. I just uploaded to Facebook for those of you who follow me there! :-)

Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by!

hugs,
Arlene :-)
