Disneyland/California Adventure - March 29-31

We were sad to say goodbye to the Johnston's and Rasmussen's, but thankfully, we still had more of our spring break to enjoy together as a family.  Family trips are a priority to us.  We certainly could remodel our kitchen & bathrooms or put endless money into our home, but some of our fondest memories together are on our trips.   We only have a couple more years of having all our kids living in our home and as we have busy teenagers and busy lives, it's such a blessing to take them away from friends, school, social needs, etc. and have them to ourselves for a few days.

We hadn't been to Disneyland for about 4 years, so we decided to add that to our spring break trip.  We drove to Anaheim on Tuesday morning and actually started at California Adventure.  Wednesday we did Disneyland.  Thursday we started at Disneyland and then ended at CA.  The kids were great!    Often, Jon would take the oldest 5 and I would keep Hailey and Sam with me and we'd ride rides together.  Hailey and Hannah were so willing to go on whatever ride and even though it was crowded, Disney does such a great job moving people through lines.

We stayed at a the Best Western Raffles Inn, which was perfect and then we'd walk down first thing in the morning, come back after lunch for a nap and then go back for the evening.  We stayed up late, ate pizza at 11:00 at night, wore ourselves completely out and had a blast!

(I wish I had taken more pictures, but I sure love the ones I took).














Until next time Disneyland!
