The Cali Trip

So the trip was so fun. We woke up at 4 a.m. so that we could get to the airport and try to fly standby because Travis had originally scheduled a 2:50 flight out of Phoenix. Hello? What a waste of a day if we don't even get there till 4 or 5 right? So we get to the airport at about 5 or 5:30 a.m. I know right? Me at 5 in the morning? Walking zombie usually, but not that day. I was very stoked. Well I was actually wishing I could just go home and be with my kids because I seriously thought I was going to die in a plane crash. But, we made the first flight out at 7 a.m and landed like at 8 or so. So once I was on land again, the stoke fest began. Here is our plane. And even more amazing, me at 5 a.m.

This is a pic I took from the plane. This white stuff looks like snow, yes?? It is clouds! I don't know why but I was so amazed by this. Travis had fun making fun of me over that.

So we land at LAX and we go get our rental car which was a little PT Cruiser. Then we drove to Disneyland and played all day. For some reason, the first 3 days were EXHAUSTED. We hadn't even done anything yet, and we were so tired. We probably walked 100 miles or so the whole trip. And I didn't take a lot of pictures like I thought that I would, so sorry about that. But you can only take so many pictures of you and your hubby doing nothing right?? We got to ride all the rides that we never get to ride together because someone always has to stay out with Zoe, and ate lots of goodies like Pineapple Whips, Cream Cheese FILLED pretzels, hot chocolate, churros, and tons of other crap. Anyway, so it was Dland wednesday and most of the day thursday. That night we were scheduled to go see the play Wicked at the Pantages Theater. So we drove up to Hollywood and go see it. It was AMAZING. It was the highlight of the trip for me by far. Then the next day we went to Dland till it was time to go eat and see my man. So we went to Tony Roma's for dinner, then went to the concert. The Honda Center (where the concert was) is only like 5 miles from Dland, but traffic was so bad to get into that place that we missed the openeing act which was Daughtry, entirely. We literally walked in, and the lights went down and Bon Jovi came out. So at least we didn't miss any of his show! But it was amazing as always. Oh and Chris Daughtry came out and sang a duet with Jon during "Blaze of Glory". And there was this totally drunk girl sitting in front of us that was almost more entertaining than anything else. Guess you had to be there.Does this seem fair to anyone else? I am his biggest fan, and he never comes out to the part of the audience I am in. Not cool!

Jon, Richie, Tico and David saying goodbye!

The next day we went whale watching in Dana Point. We got onto a big boat, and went out on the ocean, and almost got sea sick. But, we did get to see some whale and her calf migrating back to the Bering Sea. All we could see were their backs, but it was still cool. And when were still in the bay, there was a freaking sea lion swimming so close to the shore... I couldn't believe how close it was to the town. I want to live there!!
Ok, so then we drove back to Dland where we would play for the rest of the day. When we got there, I was like "I am NOT bringing my camera anymore because we havent been taking any pictures." So I left my camera in the car. Guess what happened next? I get into Dland, and guess who were about 10 feet away from?? Ben Stiller, his wife Christine Taylor, and Geena Davis. They were waiting for the parade to start up at the train station on Main Street. Yeah, I was mad I didn't have my camera, but if I had brought it, I am preety sure that the picture I would have taken would have looked something like this.....

Oh, and we totally ran into our chiropractor in Dland by Thunder Mountain . Weird right???

Oh and we ate at the Blue Bayou that night. You know that little resteraunt that you can see people eating at when you are on the ride Pirates of the Carribean?? That is where we ate. And we sat at a table right next to the water. It was pretty cool cuz we have always wanted to eat there.

Ok, so that was our trip in a nutshell. Sorry about the lack of quality pics, but we had fun, and I can't wait to go back!!!
