California here we are! July 2008

So most of you that read this blog have already seen all this on the Barth's Blog, but for those of you who have not here is my California Trip last week.

I flew into Anaheim on Tuesday night at 8:30. Rachel and Julia picked me up. Thanks to my job we got 2 rooms at a Marriott across the street from Disneyland for a really great rate. So we drove to the Hotel and checked in. the rooms were perfect because we got connecting rooms so it felt like we were all together cuz the doors were open the whole time. So once we got to our rooms we waited for the rest of everyone that was driving to Cali, but by the time they got there we were all tired so we went to bed.

The next morning we woke up early to go get into disneyland. The best thing about the new Nemo ride is that everyone rushes there first. So while they are all waiting in line all day for Nemo we were able to do all the rides in Fantisyland in half an hour.
We tend to be Disneyland Pros, but it helps us also that this year of a million dreams we have gotten really lucky each time we visit. We got dream fast passes again. That is like the fifth time he have lucked out by getting either that our the after hours late pass thing so yes we consider outselves quite lucky.
A new ride came out at Disneyland, Toy Story Mania. We usually dont wait in line for rides longer then 15 or 20 minutes but this ride was new so the line was always 60 minutes or more, but it was worth it! I went on it twice and all the boys went 3 times. It was very fun. It's like this 3D shooting where your cart moves from screen to screen and has different types of games.
Me and Rachel always like to see what holiday hats they have at Disneyland I think we have almost enough picures with holiday stuff we could make a full calendar!
After the first three nights at the hotel we went to Aunt Kriss's house to stay. Friday Morning we went to Ruby's on the Peir for breakfast and my cinnanon french toast was as good as ever! Then we spent a couple hours at the beach. We went boogie boarding and we saw some dolphins swimming way close to us. Becca and Johnny thought they were sharks ahah! It was pretty cloudy so I think everone underestimated the power of the sun so pretty much everyone got toasted. We left the beach, we weren't done in the water. We went back to Aunt Kriss's pool and swam for a couple hours haha so then everyone got even more toasted. So we were all pretty tired and beat so we ordered pizza from bj's and had a relaxing night at the house.
Saturday was shopping day yay! We went first thing to the swap meet. I do love the swap meet. Me and Rachel got some Rainbow Sandles and Big and Sexy shampoo and conditioner. I also got some more sunglasses as if I need more. And the best part of this day was that all 9 of us were in the explorer. We for sure looked like the circus when we all got out of the car.

After the swap meet we were starving and so we went to one of our favorites, Claim Jumper. The reason we love this place so much is because of the amaizing desserts! As you can see from this picture i love them so much I was possesed by them.
So after a trip to H&M and a night of games movies and treats our trip was complete. It was a successful visit and a nice break. The only thing that would have made it better is if my family could have been there, but what can I say we are busy people, but Aunt Pam took good care of me so thanks Aunt Pam.
