I know... I know. It's been to long. So lets start with California.
Recently my mom and I took a vacation to Disneyland. She had never been before, and she turns the big 5-0 this year... so I treated her to the most magical place on earth. How a person can go their entire life without going to Disneyland is beyond me... but we had a blast!!! We flew in to LAX on a Saturday, and we waited to be picked up by a couple of my mom's friends who decided to drive down the same week. We checked into our hotel room and headed straight towards downtown Disney. They had all sorts of little shops and restaurants. It was a busy evening and we had fun wandering around under the warm California sun.
On Sunday we woke up early and headed to Universal Studios with our friends Jay and Miriam. It was a beautiful sunny day out and we enjoyed the theme park very much. Mom liked the Jurassic park ride the most, and The Mummy was my favorite.
We spend Monday thru Wednesday at Disney Land and California Adventures. It was so fun to see my mom's face light up with awe and wonder as we walked into Disneyland for the first time.
I was so proud of her! She walked all day everyday and did not complain once! She was ready to see everything and to do it all. She went on every ride, even the ones that she knew would scare the bejesus out of her! I love you mom for being so adventurous on this trip! Your attitude made it so enjoyable!
Mom did not know that I was recording her while we were on the roller coaster! Listen to her laugh and scream... its hilarious.
We ran into a few interesting "characters" while we were there.
Mom and I both enjoyed pirates of the Caribbean and the Indiana Jones ride. We also liked the tower of terror and Soaring over California in California adventures... and i LOVED the big roller coaster behind the sun wheel at C.A. I thought my mom was going to pee her pants.
I am so glad that I had the opportunity to do this with my mother. It is a precious memory that I will always have of us spending time together.
