California Adventure










Ty and Alena were off for Spring Break last week and were also off this past Monday. Amanda was needing a little break from her college studies as well, so she decided to come down on Friday and the four of us headed off to California Friday afternoon to visit my dad. We had such a wonderful time. We arrived Friday night at my dad's and just had a relaxing time with him that night. My brother Mike and his wife Monica came on Saturday to visit with us and we all went to lunch. It was fabulous. Sunday we took off to visit my brother Harry and his wife MaryLou. My niece Julie came over to visit, too. We always have such a fun time with them. We visited the beach where I grew up. It was so windy that I couldn't believe it, but it was so beautiful. I can't even describe how much I miss the beach sometimes. While driving down to my dad's on Friday the children ganged up on me and convinced me we just HAD to go to Disneyland. Soooooo on Monday we drove from my Dad's to Disneyland. Driving through that rush hour traffic was about my undoing, but we all survived (barely) and spent 12 hours of fun, fun, FUN at the happiest place on earth. We stayed the night in Anaheim and then drove home yesterday. We crammed a lot into our little California adventure and made some pretty great memories along the way.
