Yes, that is correct! We had the oppurtunity to go down to California and go to Disneyland and California Adventures for 5 days!! ( That is thanks to Ben and Cami for our tickets and room!!) We had such a blast!! Aaron and I decided why not make it a long vacation, because we were about due for one and a vacation we made it. :)
We started on Thursday September 30th after work at 5:00 and headed down to St. George for the night to see my grandparents. We stayed over night and the about 11:00 am on Friday morning we drove straight to Moreno Valley, CA, my old stomping grounds to see my Aunt and Uncle and where i grew up. It was so fun to see them! We went out to eat and caught up on life. Joylynn( my aunt) was SUPER sweet and threw us a party or get- together for all the aunts, uncles and cousins that have not seen each other in years to have a fun party and catch up. I LOVED it so much and missed everyone so much i want to do it more often. We had some awesome laughs and a fun walk down memory lane.
Sunday Aaron and I went and spent the day at Sea World. One of my favorite places because of Dolphins of course! It was a fun but tiring day! We then met up with Aaron's sister and her family at the hotel we would be staying in for the next week. We unpacked our stuff in our AWESOME suite with King bed and bath all to ourselves. His sister and brother in law really treated us well!! We are ever so grateful to them.
So... For the next 5 days we spent it having a BLAST!! We went from Disneyland to CA adventures and back again as many times as our bodies would let us. We would wake up before sun up (ONLY because her kids are EARLY risers) and dropped about midnight every night! I do not have clue where we got our energy! I assume it was from all the "magic" of Disneyland! Haha :)
We switched off nights with my in laws for nights out. So one night they would go out on a date then the next night was our turn. We loved our trip! We spent nights at the parks, Bubba Gumps, Hot tubbing etc... The weather was perfect for the most part. Three of the days it rained but that was great because line waits were minimal, the next few days lines were SUPER busy ( for this time of year) and waits were no fun! :)
Aaron and i decided to make an even bigger trip out of it and hit up Vegas on the way home for the night... Well... Lets just say Aaron got SUPER sick. Food poisoning we believe. We stopped by to say goodbye to my family down there and then drove to Vegas and went to Mandalay Bay and visited the Shark Reef. I enjoyed myself as Aaron was not doing so super. We decided to cut our Vegas trip short so he could get some rest. I was SUPER tired of driving and so we ended up getting dinner in Mesquite and staying the night there. We drove home Sunday and got home about two in the afternoon, picked up our dog, unpacked and relaxed from our Vacation.
Monday I had the day off for the state holiday and just enjoyed myself. That is 11 1/2 days of pure FUN!! I could not have asked for anything better. I rarely see Aaron with how hard he works so being able to spend that many days with him made me feel like we were dating all over again! I LOVED IT!!
We are EVER so GRATEFUL to Ben and Cami for making this trip possible for us! We loved it and loved hanging out with them and the kids! We love you guys and once again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
