We were so thrilled to be able to have Grandma babysit Luke while we could run off to Disneyland to celebrate our anniversary. It's always been nice to have a Disneyland partner who was crazy like me. And this time was no exception. Grandma had been able to procure super cheap tickets for Disneyland (for a good cause) and so we were off early, arriving at DL by 7:45 am. Before the doors open. Woo hoo!
It wasn't busy at all and we were able to hit the major rides hard, getting the biggies out the way in a few hours. Once that happened the pressure was off and we relaxed for the better part of the day, enjoying our time together. We went on new-to-us rides as well as some old favorites.
We hadn't been to California Adventure in a few years, so it was nice to go and visit it again. They're doing a major overhaul and adding on a whole new area. That's right, come back in 2012 for CARSLAND. I'm serious. Luke is going to have a conniption. It's going to be awesome!
We settled for a while in Ariel's Grotto, which is the bar where we hung out on our first trip together to DL, came again when we got engaged, came again after we had just gotten married and now were back for our 5th anniversary. Wow, has it ever changed. The place was packed! It had always been our nice, quiet escape, but now the word is out and it's too cool for school. We still enjoyed a few margaritas and were able to talk and relax.
We had to take our picture with the "happily ever after" mural in the animation building, which we had originally taken when we were first engaged. "Happily," we have both lost weight since the first picture :)
We even enjoyed a cup of coffee on Main Street and were able to people-watch. Good times! We finally left just after 11 pm - we were going to beat Disneyland, but in the end, Disneyland beat us! Thanks to our good friends who let us crash at their place, since they live so close to DL.
Happy Anniversary Celebration!
