Disneyland 2009

We recently spent 5 wonderful days in Disneyland. Now I know that sounds nuts but we wouldn't have done it any other way. It was our 1st time going so we wanted to make sure we saw everything.


Favorite ride: "Big Thunder Mountain Railroad"
Most Memorable Moment: For the 1st 2 days you were unable to get on any 40" rides. On day 3 we taught you to "stretch your neck" & it worked! We're glad you didn't miss out!

Favorite ride: "Space Mountain"
Most Memorable Moment: You were chosen to fight Darth Vader. Although a little nervous, you fought him & won!

Favorite ride: "Tower of Terror"
Most Memorable Moment:

Culligula's Favorite Ride: "Tower of Terror"
Most Memorable Moment: Saving a spot for 2.5 hrs so that we could watch "Fantasmic". Totally worth it!

For me, my favorite ride had to be "Tower of Terror". I really just loved everything about being there. But I have to say, I loved ending every night with hot chocolate & a brownie from the bakery on Main St. Mmmm..... I miss that.

Big Firsts!

Las Vegas & San Diego 2009

Usually after a trip we are so ready to come home but this time, 10 days just wasn't enough.
We started off in Las Vegas for 3 days then we were off to San Diego & then back again to Vegas. San Diego was where I decided that I want to move into a hotel. Why not? They fed us breakfast & dinner & cleaned our room. It was so sad to leave.
Well here are some our favorites.

This was my favorite: The "Tank" at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas. It is a swimming pool with a shark tank in the middle & a slide that goes through it.

Swimming was everyone's favorite. We did this everyday! These 3 are now little fish in the water!

Ja-Ja's favorite: the beach!

K.B at Coronado Beach

Combi & KB's favorite: Legoland

We spent 3 days there. Good times!

Legoland Sea-Life Aquarium

Now that you boys are getting big & in some ways easier, it made this trip even better. I can't wait to go on many, many trips with you guys! I love you & I feel so blessed to be your momma!
