I'm back from Cali

Well I had an exciting and exhausting week but my mom and I got some relaxing time in too. We left Saturday morning and I started the drive. Around noon, we switched drivers and then around 9:00pm NM time (8:00pm TX time) we stayed in a Day's Inn in Albuquerque, NM. Then Sunday morning we got up early, had a Continental breakfast and then walked over to a Starbucks. :) I found the new Michael Buble CD there so my mom bought it and we listened to it as I drove in the morning. Then we switched drivers again and got into Anaheim, CA around 12:am CA time (10:00pm TX time). Monday morning we bought tickets for Disneyland at the Days Inn and drove over to park. We got there around 8:00am and took pictures then got in line and waited till the doors opened at 8:45am. We walked in and waited for the park to open at 9:00. I kept hugging my mom cause I was very excited to be there. I felt like a little kid again. I couldn't believe I was there with my best friend and that we would be there for two days! We went directly to Star Tours then Space Mountain and then had a healthy breakfast (both mornings) that was priced nicely. :) Well anyway, to make this long story of the first day short, we walked over to Disney's California Adventure Park and spent time looking around and finding where everything was and taking pictures as well. The only ride we went on was Soaring Over CA (which everyone should ride, it is totally awesome...words can't explain it!) and then we (along with everyone else cause the park had closed, walked back to Disneyland. The crowd was not bad at all. The longest we waited in line for a ride was 45 minutes or so. It was great! :) That night when we were going back to the car, we found out that we weren't in good shape. Both of us were soooo sore! Our puppies, especially, were barking like they were going to fall off or something! Tuesday, we arrived at Disneyland a little later (because we were very, very, VERY sore) and the lines proved it, Ha! But we were there for the opening of the park. The first thing we did was slowly walk over to Space Mountain. Then we had another wonderful, healthy breakfast. Then my brother's found out that we were at Disneyland. My dad already knew about it before he left. They were shocked at first, but then remembered the reason that we were there and was happy for me. This second day was a little slower for both of us, but at least we were doped up on Advil for our aches and pains. It did help though. :) We then walked over to CA Adventure and went on the Grizzly Rapids that got my mom soaked. That was fun. Then we rode a couple rides in the Bug's Life area (especially the 3D movie!) that were cute. Then we rode CA Screaming which ROCKED!!! Then we rode Soaring Over CA again (it's just awesome!). Then we rode the Tower of Terror which was a blast! My mom laughed through the whole ride, but that's because she was scared. :) LOL! After that we walked back over to Disneyland and our last ride was the Teacups. This is the picture that I took of my mom. I love her! :) This is the picture that I took of my mom. I love her! :) She's so much fun!!

Okay well that's Sunday through Tuesday.

I'll write another one later to tell you about Wednesday through Friday.
