Guess what!?! Well, from the title, you probably guessed my exciting news... Anyways.. Onto my story!
California!!!
We left on March 4th 2012, we had to get up at like 6:AM. We drove to my grandparents house down in Seattle, then they drove us to the airport. (Our van is the only car that could hold all of us, theirs couldn't) So they dropped us off at the airport, (sadly they can't come in to the airport since their not flying, which is stupid because they can't get on the plane without a TICKET!) So we went in and did everything we needed to do, got a little breakfast at Starbucks, and just hung around for a while. We (me and momma) dinked around a shop in the airport for a few.. We had plenty of time till we had to board the plane. Eventually, we walked down to our terminal to wait, the lady said over the loudspeaker thing that there were a couple of 1st class seats available for $50 bucks a seat, but there weren't enough and they weren't together.. Finally! Just Finally! The plane took off. It was soooo much fun! I loooove flying! We met these nice people on the plane, Erin and her mom Denise, and their family. We arrived in California 15(?) minutes early! At least, a little early! My dad called my Aunt, (who's really my cousin) and said: "were here! And were early!" (She was picking us up from the airport) and she was like: "Oh no! I'm on my way!" (she was already driving though) So she finally got there and it was sooo nice to see her! On our way to her house, (where we were staying) we stopped at In'N'Out burger! YUM! And brought them back to her house for everybody including little Cairo (3 years old) and Gina's husband Rito! Cairo only got french fries though.. But, she's three! Anyways, a little while after we ate we went SWIMMING! And in to her HOT TUB! BOO YA! lol! I love love loved swimming in her pool/hot-tub!! I think for most of the rest of that day we just lazed around..
Day 2. Monday.
Day 2, we were going to go to the beach but we got such a late start, and since we had to visit G-Grandpa Larry in a few hours we decided against it, but Aunt Gina had an idea to go to DownTown Disney!! (It's free and just shopping) It was sooo much fun! They have such an awesome Disney store in there! (Well, duh!) I was wearing sandals that hurt though.. Ugh! Later, we left DownTown Disney and headed over to In'N'Out burger!! Picked that up and went on down to Great Grandpa Larry's house! We ate our food over there. It was great to get to see him again!! Last time we had seen him was in 2005! yah, I know right? We stayed there for a few hours and then headed back to Aunt Gina's. We stayed up late, that night. I slept in Cairos' room and she slept with Aunt Gina. (I was on a COMFY air mattress! lol!)
Day 3. Tuesday! Now, Tuesday and Wednesday were definitely my favorite days in California!!! (Except that I didn't get to see Cairo. :( and Gina :( and Rito. :( ) Why, you ask, were they your favorite days? DISNEYLAND OF COURSE!!! Sheesh, couldn't you have figured that out on your OWN? LOL! Just kidding.. Kinda! lol! Anways. I LOVE DISNEYLAND! I even went on the Tower of TERROR!!!!! :-|) It was creepy! I was holding Dad's hand and saying: "Is it over yet?" Lemme explain it to you..
You get into this elevator, and the "elevator attendant" starts backing out of the room and is telling you to hold on your things and then he says; "and your loved ones" in this creepy voice, then backs out and you start going up and up and UP! Then, (also, the elevator is held by GIGANTO STRONG magnets) the magnets let go and you start free-falling just a little ways, this first or second time! CREEPY FEELING IN YOUR STOMACH! Then, you stop! Then you go up and up and up again, this time, you go higher, and they open these doors so you see across the park, then BOOM! Your falling.. Again! CREEPY! They take a picture of you while your up there, but ours was lost in the "Twilight Zone" (It's the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is it's real name) Oh, and when your riding up the first time, they go through this movie-type thing.
Back to my story:
I also went on Soarin' Over California! That was FUN! It looks like your para-gliding, and you go through orange groves and smell the oranges, over the ocean and you smell that, it's cool! (It's only on a screen, you don't really go over it) and your up-high and your legs are swinging.. it's cool!
I also went on Space Mountain.. FUN! You get in and ZOOM!! your off. FAST. The ride is in-side and it's just stars and stripey flashing light's things so I just close my eyes. I was bracing myself so hard with my arm that it got sore.. The first time, the second time I knew better. ;) We went on Star Tours, FUN! (3-D Star Wars Movie, looks like your about to crash into things!) We went on Buzz Lightyears ride, shooting at stuff! Fun! We went on Goofeys Flying School! Fun! It's a roller-coaster, a mini one, though. When you go around turns it feels like the car is gonna fall off the rails,-and your up-high! scary.. And it has a drop..heehee, I love love LOVE drops on roller-coasters.. :D
I went on the tea-cups. (Spinning tea cups you sit in)
The Mad Hatter was there, he was singing and talking about un-birthdays! LOL! (He was by the Castle, I think!)
We went through the castle, fun because it goes through Sleeping Beauty's story with mini-scenes and stuff! Fun! Liked it.
We were gonna go on Peter Pan but the lines were WAAAY to long!
On our last night at DisneyLand, Obi and Dad wanted to go on the Tower of Terror and California Screamin' one last time at night (I didn't go on California Screamin' It's a HUGE roller-coaster that I was scared to go on..) So me and mom went off and did stuff we weren't planning on doing, like:
Monsters Inc. Ride!
Seeing how animated movie's are made:
(They set up these figurines in different positions, then make it spin, add a certain light and it looks like they're moving! Make sense?)
Bug's Life Caterpillar ride, (your riding in a caterpillar, and you go under and next to all these fake foods, like under a water-melon and it drips on you and you smell it, etc. with other foods! The rest don't drip, though!)
I was gonna go on Lady Bug bumper cars but they were closed, (in Bug's Life also)
Got a pic of me by their fake wall that looks like it isn't a wall and is a long road. (make sense?)
Went on Ariel ride.
Others??? Can't remember, now!
Me and Mom had lots of fun, going around like that! Other rides I went on are: (different night or in the day-time)
Train around Disney
Toon-Town roller coaster (you wait in line longer than the ride is!)
In toon-town if you pull on this one door, it makes it look like it's shocking you!
They have this "weight" in the ground you have to try and "pull" up! (Doesn't come up)
You have to try and pull up a sword out of stone! (Only when they let it will it come out)
LOL
Umm.. I'm sure I did others but I can't remember right now! xD
I also met a TON of characters! When I met wizard Mickey, I said thanks when I was done, and he gave me this GIANT hug, and like kisses, and the guy said, (the photographer) most kids don't say Thank You, so that means alot. Can you believe kids wouldn't say thanks? So, if your going to Disney, PLEASE SAY THANKS TO THE CHARACTERS!!! lol.
I met SO many more characters! :)
We had just such a fun time, and I know we did more.. But here are a few snippets;
We went in my Aunts Hot Tub and put bubbles in it. hehe.
Thats a picture of us doing it. (Yah, I know, I have a funny facial expression right there..)
Me in my Aunts house on her couch.
