Disneyland

I just LOVE Disneyland (usually, except for the parts that I hate). For the most part, it really is the happiest place on earth. I love feeling like a kid again, and seeing the magic through my kid's eyes (corny, I know). Just the ride on the tram from the parking lot to the park can give me goosebumps (again: corny, but true). We have been very lucky to have made memories with lots of cousins over the past several months: we went with the Jacobsons in February, and Christie and her kids went with us just this past October. The Wimmers are regular Disneylanders. We have decided that Anaheim is the perfect halfway meeting point between San Diego and Thousand Oaks. These pictures are from our trip with the Wimmers and the Brooks on October 23. Unfortunately, it was a little warmer than we would have hoped (upper 90s--one of the things I hate), but we survived, thanks to cool indoor rides, plenty of shade from the trees, and lots of Diet Coke at the Pizza Port.
