Disneyland

Vacation time! When Kenny and I moved out to Idaho I told him that this would be the end of our vacations because from now on time off would be spent visiting our family.... well, true to our word that is what happened. Now, don't get me wrong, I love all of you family members a great deal and miss you terribly, but here's a secret I didn't even fully realize, I miss Kenny more. So after over two years of vacations with family, to see family, about family, we took off on our own and headed down to Disneyland... to spend time with other people's families :). We understand that since we now live far from our own family, its always a vacation from the Redding clan, still it was great to spend time with each other and not worry about the dogs or the laundry or work or anything except getting to space mountain when the wait was less then 70 minutes.

I've decided to grace you all with a couple photos from our trip and while the iphone is an incredible phone, since I hate asking other people to take all the touristy photos, the quality of self photos is not amazing. Please excuse the fuzzyness, especially embarassing when the family is now full of incredible photographers.

Our one shot at asking someone else to take a photo. We took turns, "you take a picture of us, we'll take a picture of you." They couldn't figure out how to work our phone, we couldn't figure out how to work their camera, awkward all around.
Getting completely drenched on Splash Mountain, head to toe soaked. The best thing about our visit to Southern California? The massive heat wave that struck while we were there. I feel as though God must just really love me, because He tends to enjoy my love of high temps, you all remember our wedding day correct?
Captain EO tribute!! Kenny is a good and dutiful husband, allowing himself to be dragged to all the shows when I'm sure he would have rather camped out at California Screamin' and Tower of Terror. I only wish Captian EO was as incredible as I remembered from when I was 10. I waited 14 years for Disneyland to bring back Michael Jackson in all his 3D glory, too bad special effects have grown by leaps and bounds and left him in the dust.So there it is, a summary of our Disneyland trip. Despite the 100 degree weather, 7 am flight, terrible hotel room, last minute hotel change, getting stuck on Indiana Jones (behind the scenes tour!), blistered feet and missed shuttles we had a great time; after all, we have never been a smooth sailing couple, why should vacation be any different? Crazy to think that we aren't planning to be back until we have kids in tow, can't wait to pass on the love of Disney to another generation!
