This past weekend was a spur of the moment trip to California that turned out brilliant. There was something really magical about the trip, and not because we went to Disneyland, but rather because it's wonderful to have great friends that are so comfortable together and allow you to be your self. It's friends that will cram into a photo booth, skip down Disneyland, dance on the beach, laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself, and rock-out in a car.

Things I Loved about the Trip in Pictures

Beach

Sand between the toes

Watching the waves crash

Never being too OLD to build a sandcastle

Finding someone else to willing to get wet

Dancing on the beach

A spectacular crash and burn

Soaking up the sun

Jumping in the waves

Not caring that the water was SUPER cold

Climbing the cliff

Enjoying the views with friends

DISNEYLAND

Anticipation

Riding that first ride

Wearing crazy hat...I should have taken up the bet to wear it all day, because don't I look good in it? :)

Channeling our inner princess

Choosing the right path to all over the best rides at Disneyland (well maybe not all the rides)

Out spinning everybody else. . . even if it did make us slightly sick

Finally being able to ride the Davy Crockett Canoes

Finding that the jokes still haven't changed, yet still laughing at them

Decreasing our age by about about 10 years

Being able to experience a NEW park

Picture taking

Gardenes!! even if it was a little small

Beautiful architecture

Santa Monica

Craziness on the pier

Sunsets

Dressing up the guys. I think we did a good job!

Four adults, one photo booth, and one digital camera

This is how we wish most of the Ferris wheel ride was. It actually looked more like
