Escape to Disneyland

On Monday, Anna and I were able to sneak away to Disneyland for the day. Well, maybe we didn't sneak, we had some help in making it possible (Thanks Bonnie!).

We've never gone to Disneyland together in the summer months before. We are usually able to go, just the two of us, in December, when we spend the day for our anniversary. But we took some liberties with our family schedule, and spent a warm day with Mickey and friends.

Anna took this shot for a specific reason. Can you figure it out? (it was a bit random)


One of the first things we did was get in line for tickets to see the new water show at Ca. Adventure. The line went through the Grizzly Bear rapids, where we found this sign... How could Anna resist?!

Our wind blown mugs on the Screamin' ride. Yes, I'm doing a rock and roll sneer.

Hello cleavage... Oh, and there we are in the back. Anna was blocked by a hand, and now I'm going with the rock and roll tongue and devil horns (which are hard to see, but they're there).

We didn't take a huge amount of pictures. We had a lot of fun walking around, going on rides together, and eating. We had lunch across the street at IHOP. We brought some coupons. We used one, and Anna passed some out to others sitting around us. I said she's the "Robin Hood of coupons". We had a big lunch so we didn't have to eat dinner inside the park. But we did have a treat here and there...

We found this 6 mini cupcake sampler pack at the sweets shop next to the Pooh ride. It looked soooo yummy...

But I have recently rededicated myself to losing weight, and watching what I eat. No cupcakes for me...

More for Anna!!

Actually, I did take a small nibble on each of them, and Anna suffered through eating the rest of each one... the poor thing.

We had a great time. It went by WAY too fast. But that's the joy of having passes... we can come back again (almost) when ever we want.

Good times.
