37 + 1

By Tara Zandra | June 1, 2011

Yesterday went all right- not great but fine. Due to our vacations this year, Chris didn’t have an extra vacation day left from work so he was only able to take a half day. Now that still means he was home at 11am so it’s not exactly late, but it still felt like an extremely late start for us to be going to Disneyland.

Our first stop was inside Disneyland to see Mickey Mouse, but he must have been on a cheese break. Instead we went across the way to California Adventure as we had found out we could ride The Little Mermaid as part of the annual passhold preview. We waited about 40 minutes and we were in the sun for a good portion of that so not a fun way to start. Eventually we got inside and it was a very cute ride. It’s a dark ride like Snow White’s Scary Adventures or Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, but instead of little cars, you’re in a clam shell like Haunted Mansion. Also, this ride puts you in the middle of the scenes as opposed to feeling like you’re just going by them.

We then went back to Disneyland and did see Mickey Mouse and then started on the food hunt. We failed and it taught me never to go to Disneyland without our lunch again. Eventually we made our way to the bakery on Main Street where 3 of us ordered a veggie sandwhich, 1 of us got a banana, and we all got a sweet of some kind.

Next we went to Buzz Lightyear which I always love. Then we hit the Tiki Room because it’s air conditioned and after that I was too hot and kind of tired to do anything else. We browsed the World of Disney and I bought a toy- technically it’s for the kids, but it’s a miniature of Minnie’s house and I kind of collect the miniature house toys so it’s something I wanted to buy even if I’m not going to play with it. We then hit the Lego store for the kids and that really had nothing to do with me, I was just fulfilling a promise to them.

I wanted to go to the big Joann’s and also the Disney outlet and then we finally headed home after a quick stop to pick up my present as it was delivered to my in-laws’. At home, the girls gave me their presents- a drawing of daisies from Daisy and a painted pot to grow basil from Tabitha, plus both their cards were poems- then I opened my gift from Chris. It’s a waffle iron of a sort that makes waffles, pancakes, eggs, muffins, what have you and they are in the shape of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Pluto and Goofy. I love it! We put it to the test right away and made eggs two ways and it’s so cute. I used it again this morning for scrambled eggs for Tabi. Next we have to make muffins or something.

And that’s really it. It was what it was. But that’s okay, I was with my family and they love me so it’s all good.
