We returned last night from our trip to California. We flew out Wednesday morning, I was nervous because things started out a little shaky. I COULD NOT fall asleep the night before. At 3 a.m. after tossing and turning so much that Nolan abandoned me for the couch, I took a very hot shower and that did the trick. In the morning, we were running late as per usual, so we boarded the plane last minute. A little stressful but all was well.
We went immediately to Disneyland. We were greeted right away by Goofy. Cy was a little hesitant at first but we told him to be a good example. Cole loved all the characters. It was a beautiful day, low 70's. The park was not too crowded and it seemed that we just timed everything right. We waited 33 minutes to get on the Finding Nemo ride, that was our longest wait. Cy was brave as could be with the rides. He rode any and everything that he could. He loved Space Mountain. We rode it for the first time, got off and rode it again. The boys are one in the same though. Any ride that had loud noises and they both would have their hands over their ears.
Cy lost his front tooth while we were there. It was a sad day for me, he is growing up so fast. Luckily, the tooth fairy new where to find us.
We stayed in Anaheim the first night. The next day was half a day at California Adventure and the rest of the day was at Disneyland again. California Adventure is the home of the Tower of Terrror. It is such a fun and very scary ride. At the conclusion of riding it Cy said, "What were we thinking?" We talked my mom into going on it. It was the funniest part of the whole trip. She is a huge wuss when it comes to rides. I felt a little guilty when we boarded and reminded her to watch her language. She was out of control, screaming as loud as I have ever heard. But she loved it. I thought Nolan and I would never stop laughing at her. We were on the move non-stop but still didn't cover all the ground we needed to. I think that we rode the Buzz Lightyear ride too many times. It was Cole's favorite by far. If we were in line for any other ride he would tell us, "But mom, we need to get Zurg." Zurg is Buzz's nemesis.

Thursday evening we drove to San Diego, after a small detour, admittedly my fault, we arrived at our rental house on Mission Bay. It was so cute and very comfortable for our trip. It was one block from the beach.
Friday was Sea World. We enjoyed the dolphin show and the Shamu show. The craziest thing happened while we were there. We ended up sitting right next to my cousin Heather's friend Nikki from Denver. What are the chances of that. It really is a small world after all. We gave Heather a cell phone call while we were there. We stayed all day, we got to touch a stingray, hold starfish, got soaking wet on some rides and all got way too much sun that day.
Saturday, we headed to Legoland. We would not recommend it to a friend. We left after 2 hours. That left us with sometime to relax and head to the beach. I really did not think that the boys would like it, they are NOT water babies, they are usually pretty timid around water. They loved putting their pigs in and would have gotten in if it were not so cold. Cole loved chasing the tide.

Sunday was our departure day, we wanted to be close to the airport so we were off to New Port Beach. It was BEAUTIFUL! The beaches were clean, no seaweed and there were many sea shells for the taking. We strolled around, watched some fisherman catch sea life off of the pier and had a yummy lunch. We played in the ocean a little. We were sad we found this place with so little time left. I did not get any pictures from here. I was too busy enjoying it myself. We arrived to our car about 8 p.m. When Cole got in he said " I am so proud to have my DVD player." He meant he was happy to see his DVD player in the car. He, along with the rest of us, was ready to call it a night.
We had so much fun on this vaction. Thank you so much to my parents for taking us. It was such a special treat. One that created many fond memories for years to come.
