Disneyland

Ok, so we're back, and everything was great. All my worrying for nothing! We had such a blast. Disneyland was SO busy, but we never had to wait in a line (thank goodness, Max would've hated it). While we were there, we got to do so many cool things! Max got to drive the "Mark Twain" boat--I didn't even know that people got to do that. Some guy--Justin--that works there just came up and asked us if we wanted to--so we got VIP priviledges on the boat! It was so amazing! Max looked so cute driving the boat, and he loved every minute of it!
Then, we decided to ride some rides during the fireworks show since the lines were shorter. We ended up getting in a boat on the storybook ride just as the fireworks were starting, and our boat driver just let everyone sit on the boat and watch the fireworks--we were sitting RIGHT beneath them. It was awesome! She also happened to be a disney fanatic and she was telling us a whole bunch of stuff about disneyland, the boat we were in (which happened to be the "golden boat" that Walt Disney rode in), and the fireworks show. Disneyland spends $75,000 on the fireworks every night! It was so cool! As we were getting off the ride after it was all over, she gave us "honorary disney citizen" stickers. So, the busy day at disneyland ended up being pretty fun and eventful for us! We made sure to get great pictures too! (about 750 of them from our whole trip--thank goodness we have a digital camera!!!)
While in Southern California we were able to visit Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, and Huntington Beach. I know that Max won't remember the vacation, but the rest of us have so many great memories!!! Before we left home, I was afraid that Max would be too young/a pain on the vacation, but he did great! He was an angel baby on the car ride (12 hours) down, and he was nothing but giggles through the rest of the vacation!
On the way home we ate at our favorite buffet in Vegas, The Feast at Green Valley Ranch. MMMM....I love that place! We stayed at the Stratosphere hotel, which was much nicer than expected, and the most comfortable beds on our whole trip!!! Booking through Expedia ended up really great!
All in all, fun was had by everyone! Now, when are we going back?!?
