Best Vacay Evah!

This week was Fall Break here in Arizona so we decided to take our kids and get the heck out of the heat. We followed Disneyland's siren song with our friends, the Wells, and had the greatest time! We arrived in O.C. on Tuesday afternoon and promptly headed out to Newport Beach. Even in the light drizzle our children HAD to see the ocean.

And gather souvenirs of all kinds.

We didn't think they'd want to do anything but wade in, what with the whipping wind and light rain. We were wrong. They ended up soaking wet and sandy, head to toe. I sure wish I had made them change into swimsuits before we went. I ended up doing a load of laundry after dinner so the kids would have dry jackets to take to Disneyland the next morning.

We woke up Wednesday morning to rain. At first we were a bit worried, but soon decided "Team Well-son" would not be thwarted by a little rain! It turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. The temperature was FANTASTIC and the crowds were sparse. It was, truly, the best day I've ever spent at Disneyland. We stayed from open to close and rode almost everything that was open. It was good, good fun.

Other highlights of the trip: Dinner at Bob's Big Boy with Kelly and Josh, my sister and her husband. Mmmmmm . . . Chili Spaghetti . . . ; and D falling asleep while eating a gordita after a long, exciting day at D-land.

The kids go back to school Tuesday. We're gonna' need the rest of the weekend to recover from all the fun.
