2009 Vacation

Weston, Cason, my mom and I just got back from a wonderful vacation to Disneyland. Where was my husband you ask, he had to stay home and work. A few weeks ago while at Costco my mom and I saw tickets to Disneyland and we were joking about taking a road trip to Disneyland. I thought we were just joking around but my mom asked me to really look into it, so I did. We found out Weston would be free to get into both Disneyland and Seaworld. That there were tons of rides he could go on there. So we looked into the prices of hotels and gas and made the decision just to go for it. We left Monday morning right after Mother's Day. We left at 6 am. We got to Anaheim at 6 pm. Its only a ten hour drive but it took longer with taking some stops for Weston to get out and run around and me to feed Cason. The kids did wonderful. Cason slept the whole time and Weston slept part of the time. He gets carsick so we had to buy him dramamein and it knocked him out. Tuesday morning we headed to Dinseyland. We wanted to start off slow so we went on Its A Small World first. To my amazement Cason was able to go on it. Weston loved the ride. Then we headed into Fantasyland and let him go one all the rides there. Cason was able to go on everything, even the flying Dumbo's. Weston was in heaven. Weston loving called Disneyland Bisneyland. In the afternoon we went back to the hotel to rest and came back for the parade at night. Wednesday we went back to Dinseyland and the California Adventrue park. We enjoyed most of the rides except the fun rollercoaster types. LOL! Weston went up to Pluto and Minnie Mouse just fine but Mickey mouse rushed past which scared Weston from all the characters after that. Darn Mickey. My mom bought Weston a mickey mouse stuffed animal which Weston had to take everywhere and he kept holding him like a baby it was so cute. That night we went to dinner with Frank Kimbrough who was like a dad to me growing up which was fun to catch up with him. Thursday we checked out of our hotel and headed down to San Diego and went to Seaworld and saw Shamoon (as Weston calls Shamu) we feed the bat rays and feed them fish, (my favorite part). We enjoyed looking at fish and aquatic animals and seeing the shows for two days. Weston was in heaven because they had a seasame street playland and his Grandma spoiled him by buying him a Big Bird, Snuffie, and Ernie stuffed animals. We also got a picture with Elmo and Big Bird which Weston wasn't too sure about. We drove to St. George Saturday and came home Sunday. It was a wonderful trip! Thank you so much Mom for taking us. She paid the whole way considering I am on maternity leave and am not getting paid. What an awesome Grandma. Here is a slideshow of the fun trip sorry to long and full of pictures.
