The Most Magical Place on Earth

Nate had a little extra time off in May. In fact, he's basically had the whole month off. It started with our already scheduled trip to Hawaii. Then, he got a new job, which doesn't start until tomorrow. So the way things shook out between the end date of the old job and start date for the new job coupled with the vacation to Hawaii gave him a month break. Not too bad, right! It was a much needed break since he had been working many many long hours.

Nate and I decided to take advantage of the time off.  Thanks to the help of Nate's mom and sister, Nate and I took a quick jaunt down to Southern California to the most "magical place on earth" without Preston for a few days. We had a blast! There were those brief moments where we missed our little boy, but overall, it was great to be at Disneyland and California Adventure without him. We spent every minute we could at the park going from one ride to another. We rode all the rides we wanted to - multiple times and we didn't have to worry about anything. In fact, we even traveled light around the parks - no bags! I didn't carry anything but my park pass and Nate only carried his wallet, sunscreen and camera in his pocket. (It was so nice not to be lugging around a diaper bag.)

Neither of us had been to California Adventure before and we thought it was so fun. I can't wait to see what rides they add to the park. There was a ton of construction going on.

We loved our time away and Preston had so much fun with Grandma and Maren.

Getting ready to see "Captain EO" - 3D has gotten so much better since it was created!

Mad Tea Party


Mickey Shaped Beignets in New Orleans Square. Yummy.
Checking Out Toon Town




Tower of Terror - We loved it.


Can you guess who scored what?

We rode this ride 4 times so Nate could try to beat me...

At least Nate hasn't been playing (or isn't proficient at)video games on all those late nights at work.
