We Love Laguna

Eight lovely days...it was a great vacation.  Lots of beach play, two very full days at Disneyland and California Adventure, visiting family and just mellow family time. I just love vacation.  Here are a few ton of pictures.

First Ride of the Day-Rip Roaring Rapids

Seriously...look at me.  I swear a bucket was poured on my head.  Crazy wet.

Luckily it was warm and I dried off within a few rides.

"It's Tough Being a Bug" Show

End of Day Two

We're looking a little rough around the edges and are waiting for the night show to begin. We watched a great show around River American(American River?) in Disneyland.  Lots of fireworks, fire, music, and characters.  Jeff even got to see his beloved Jasmine, although from a far. 

Between the two days we spent 25 hours in the actual parks.  That doesn't count driving from Laguna and parking.  It was so much fun, but we were whipped.

Digging to Somewhere

All in all, it was a wonderful break from the every day grind.  No computers, no email, just lots of fun together.
