california

we just got back
from a fabulous
trip to disneyland
and newport beach,
with dave's lovely family.

i'm embarrassed
to admit this, but
i now understand when
people say how
"magical" disneyland
is...last year was my
very first time
going and i was
almost eight months
pregnant...not so
magical.

this time we got to
do everything
and even better,
we had little bennett
with us which made
it even more fun.

hotel: right across
the street.
food: yummy
(how could it not
be if it's shaped
like mickey mouse ears?)
family: hilarious
and so fun to
vacation with.
the beach: fantastic
even though i swallowed
a gallon of sea water.
disneyland: magical
(i almost teared up
when tinkerbell came
flying out during the
fireworks...sigh.)

little b had lots
of favorites on
the trip also:
the dancing parade,
going on rides with
"gamma & gammpa",
gazing at sam (he adores sam)
being buried in the
sand...and eating
the sand...several
times...

thanks, van and betsy,
for a super fun trip!

Andy and I were just talking TONIGHT about how we miss Disneyland and want to go back this instant. Glad you had fun--it is a magical place. Especially with your kids.

Oh, I love the video! He is just my favorite little boy.

I'm so glad you had fun. I want to hear all about it (as you mentioned briefly above) but in in a painfully lengthy manner.

Love you!

How fun! Rich talked to Dave after you got back and heard what a "hi" Bennett was on from going on all the rides. I love that video! You two are such cute parents.

I think it would be the best EVER to go on a vacation with you guys. Tearing up at Tinkerbell? I love it.
