Disneyland

And since no trip to So Cal would be complete without a trip to Disneyland...

We went.

My budget photo op from California Screamin'

And Tower of Terror...

(you know after spending $500. just to get in to DL, I wasn't about to shell out any more cash than necessary)

Our visit was perfect timing because the Haunted Mansion was transformed into The Nightmare Before Christmas.  Which, personally, is my most favorite ride.

Then we took a turn on Splash Mountain...

Yeah, it's all fun and games until someone gets wet!

Our favorite photo spot...

The new and improved Star Tours

(my second favorite ride!)

A spin on the tea cups...

literally.

Soaring over Tomorrowland on a rocket.

And paying respects to Mr. Disney.

Later in the day, Heather brought Lukas and Quentin, 

so the fun continued into the night!

Just like old times!
