Disney Land Part 1: Monday

Yes, Disneyland! See my Pruning post for more information. Anyway, so we left around 9am. We were So excited, you have no idea. We had a nice drive. I read like the whole trip. We finally got there and checked into our hotel. We stayed at Best Western. It's just across the street from Disneyland, so that's why mom chose it. After checking in, we headed to Downtown Disney, to explore. We also got our tickets for the next day( we only had to buy 1 ticket, the link above explains why). Adam, Sammie and Dad headed off to the Lego store and us girls went to explore the World of Disney store. We each brought money, but we didn't spend money that day, just browsed. We met up and then we went to take a peek in The Grand California Hotel. We heard the the Lobby was gorgeous and had a really HIGH ceiling. It was true. Beautiful. After that, we walked down the street to Mimi's Cafe to meet Eddie and Liz Ogle, who we haven't seen in a few years. They are my great-great aunt and uncle. We had a lovely time. They even walked back with us to our hotel because they wanted to see our van! After all the kids were in bed(we have a two room(adjoining) suite so the kids who go to bed first won't be disturbed by those who stay up later) I went down to the swimming pool with Dad and Adam. We met two great girls(Jessica and Rachel) who I later found out were LDS(it's not hard to figure out, when they have 4 kids in fam. and are from Utah. We had a nice time. Then we returned to the Hotel Room to sleep, before an exciting day at Disneyland.
