California!



Last week we went with Russ's family to California. I was a lot of fun! We did the whole Disneyland/California Adventure thing, went the the beach, and hit up an Angels baseball game. It was nice to get away for a little while before Russ starts school again in the Fall. I have not been to Disneyland since the good ole high school cheer leading competition days, but I forgot how fun and amazing it is. I felt like a little kid. It seriously is a magical place (despite the long lines, massive crowds, and screaming kids everywhere!) I would have to say my favorite ride still is Space Mountain, I love it! The first time I went to Disneyland when I was little that was my favorite ride, my parents could not get me off of it. I also love the Thunder Mountain roller coaster, I totally forgot about that ride. We went on it 7 times in a row one night! One of the days we went to the beach. It felt so good just to sit and get some sun. I was the only one who would go in the water. Everybody else were big babies, they said it was too cold:) The last night we went to and Angels games. They were playing the Yankees, the White family are huge Yankees fans...however, they ended up loosing, but it was still lots of fun. Thanks Dave and Lori for such a fun trip!
