Last night's Girls Night hang out was great fun. Let's just say it's funny to try and play Taboo after a couple glasses of wine.
But that's not the blog I want to write today.
Obviously this blog is about how excited I'm getting for our California trip coming up in about 2 weeks!
My Sailor has actually been to Disney World more than he's been to Disneyland - but that is about to change, and I couldn't be more excited about it!

I know some readers don't "get it". And that's okay. Yes, I know it's not a "real" castle. I'm old enough to understand the mechanics of how it the attractions are built. In fact, as the Disneyland Columnist of for Celebrations Press, I get to research these attractions in depth. I can tell you how many gallons of hydrolic fluid are in each Indiana Jones and The Temple of the Forbidden Eye attraction vehicle. I know why the crate inside the Matterhorn has the word "Wells" written on it. I can tell you the history behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad as well as the mythology around it. I can even tell you what is in this Disneyland Time Capsule I'm photographed with below.
Me with the 'Time Castle' 12/2011 |
That said, I've had the privledge to make some amazing memories in Disneyland. Though we didn't plan the wedding to be near here originally, it's amazing how things have fallen into place. Instead of taking everyone to Disney World, I get to add to my amazing list of Disneyland memories with so many friends and family that my head is swimming.
I'm also incredibly excited to share this with all the first timers! From My Sailor's family to Green Guy and Green Gal... It's going to be a blast. The only time I was with a group this large was when I graduated from High School in 1998! Granted, we won't be commando-ing the parks all together. But I suspect it'll be a delightful mixture of smelling the flowers, getting some sun, and partying like a rock star.... Mouse-style.
