Smile Pains!

So a few weeks ago, a friend of mine, Melanie Cameron,who is from Washington where we used to live, was looking for someone to go to Los Angeles with her. She half-heartedly asked if I wanted to go, not really thinking I would take her up on it, but the more I thought about it the more I couldn't stop thinking "that would be sooo fun!" So I took the bait and told her I could make it.

After a nice date out with my hubby (before sticking him with 5 kids for the weekend). I flew out to LA for 4 days of happy fun. We spent 2 days at Disneyland and CA adventures. It really is the "Happiest place on Earth". We went to Medieval Times for dinner another night. I thought it was awesome, and really enjoyed that show. Melanie had her baby, Summer, with her, and because of her medical equip we were able to fast pass most of the rides and the ones the baby couldn't ride, we could do the stroller swap/single rider deal so we really didn't have long wait times anywhere.

It was great to have some "me" time for a bit where I could be goofy and laugh and not be in charge. We dubbed the vacation "dumb luck" because we had a lot of airhead moments of getting lost, running late, etc. But we still made it where we needed to go and had a great time doing it.

I even went a bit Crazy Chicken as I worried about getting checked out, fighting traffic to the airport and getting the rental car turned in. I guess Melanie will still be my friend after seeing me get all worked up , HAHA

The kids weren't too sad to find out I went to Disneyland without them, they liked all the fun stuff I brought home for them. Someday we'll get the whole family there...
