Disney Land, round two!

Life has been so crazy! I have neglected my blog for far too long! Let's start with Disney Land and back track from there. Reasons why Disney Land was better the second time: 1. We flew into Long Beach and got to DL at 10:00 a.m.!!! (Jet Blue ROCKS!) 2. Jenna can walk by herself (no stroller) and she is no longer a diaper wearer. That should have been #1!!! Hardly any crazy bathroom runs! 3. We knew how to get around! 4. We went on the Indiana Jones ride with fast pass! One of my favorite rides! 5. We discovered the prezel stand that has cream cheese filled prezels!!!! It was the only thing that kept me in the line for Pixie Hallow for an hour!!! AN HOUR!!!! 6. We went on the river rafting ride without rain ponchos on Kelly's BIRTHDAY!!!! (It was chilly outside and I wasn't dressed for the weather as it was. But I did it for Kelly and it was the most fun we had as a family! Lots of laughs!!! 7. We didn't eat any meals in the park-instead we went to Cheese Cake Factory and Bubba Gumps!!!! WAY better and a better value! 8. Trader Joe's snacks all day long! 9. More adventurous children! 10. Jenna at Jedi Training-she said, "Next time I come, I'll tell them that I already have my own light saber and I've been training at home so now I'm a master not a padawan!" She ate it UP!!! No fear in my little girl!!! BTW, we stayed in Ocean Side on the beach for most of our trip. It was bliss! San Diego was a joy as usual! We went whale watching and saw a Fin Whale (second largest whale in the ocean), plenty of Grey whales, Sea Lions, Dolphins, and lastly, whale poop. Yes, I did say whale poop!!! Our guide went bonkers over it! It was very educational!
