Our 11th Anniversary-Trip to Disneyland Part 2

A dream is a wish your heart makes... My dreams are coming true everyday I spend with you!

David and I haven't been anywhere- with no kids- in a very long time and we decided this year was the time to make it happen. So we found places for our kids to go and we took on the role of kids by going to Disneyland. It was great fun! We went on every ride as many times as we could- some lines were long but most were about 10-15 minutes of waiting. Our favorite rides were space mountain and California Screamin'. We went on each of those 3 or more times. It was a great way to spend our anniversary. We were so tired after our second day, we ordered dessert from The Cheesecake factory and then headed back to our hotel room- We spend a total of 22 hours in two days at Disneyland, my feet ached but there was a smile on my face the entire time. To be able to spend uninterrupted time with my dear friend and husband was pleasant and rewarding. To be reminded of our first few days together as husband and wife (we spend our honeymoon in the same place) was enlightening and joyful. One thing is for sure- while the years come and go, both of us grow up and grow closer. Our kids keep us on our toes and we look forward to taking them the next time. *Every ride we went on we commented on which of our kids would like it- concluding that they will all have a blast when we come as a family.

We had to take a picture by this sign. Happiness is what you make of it. I do have to say- David makes me happy! Happy Anniversary!!!
This ride shoots you up 180 ft in 1 sec (0r something like that). Talk about fun! I love the thrill of feeling your stomach in your chest!
We snapped this underneath Indiana Jones while waiting for someone to rescue us. Do we look scared?!
Disneyland is so magnificent during the holidays with all the decorations and lights. There is no place like it. We had to take a picture of one of us by the tree. I nominated David.Look at the castle all decorated in lights. Imagine the fireworks above and it is a delightful sight. We stood and watched in awe. 4th of July doesn't even come close.
David posed with "mr incredible" just for the fun of it.
This is space mountain and the couple behind us talked with us the entire time (Mike and Ann). Later they bought us Hot Cocoa and we watched the fireworks together.
David liked the scenery (me included) and wanted to capture the moment.
This is the Indiana Jones ride. Our jeep broke down, the lights came on and we got to take pictures. Our jeep was right underneath Indiana Jones, we could have reached up and grabbed the rope, if we weren't locked in our seatbelts.
Star Tours- had to snap a photo of C-3-P-O!
