Finally the last vacation post, haha! We just had so much fun and took loads of photos in California we had to keep sharing some with everyone. The last day or so, we spent them mostly by ourselves at Disneyland. This was nice to be able to have some time for the 3 of us together, as we have a feeling this will be one of our last real family vacations for a few years until baby 2 is old enough for traveling, unless we have additional vacation helpers, haha. :-)
Disneyland is definitely different than Disney World, as you can see quite a few attractions in just a few days. It is much more centrally located, so you aren't spend half your time traveling between parks. So that was nice for us since we only had a few days left to spend there, plus in the heat, I was all about enjoying mini breaks we could sneak in and relax back at our hotel. I think we only didn't get to one or two sections of the parks that we would have liked to be able to see, but I think we hit our must-haves and favorites over and over to make it a very successful trip!
Alicia obviously loved meeting the princesses and being able to have breakfast with them all was a real treat for her. I just loved watching the look on her face each time a new princess would stop by our table to say hi, as it made it all worth the wait and money. Other highlights that Alicia seemed to really like besides meeting her favorite characters, were the Its a Small World ride, Dumbo, the tea cups, and the carrousel. One of the other cool rides was the Nemo submarine ride, where you got to ride in sub-like boats, which showed clips from Nemo, while talking about marine life. It was interesting, as you each got your own little portal hole to view the underwater adventure.
In the evening, Alicia was surely not a fan of the fireworks yet, so that was an experience by itself... however, we did make it through most of the World of Color show there that featured lots of cool lights, music, fire, and a water show over the Pier area at the California Park at Disney. We were able to get tickets for two night shows for the World of Color, since our hotel on site was privileged to get early passes, we took full advantage of that. The one night at the World of Color show, mommy and daddy managed to get to watch the entire show, as Alicia fell fast asleep in her stroller for almost the entire show. I guess we wore her out that day running around ;) You can see some pretty cool World of Color pictures in this album here.
Like I mentioned before, we had a great time and it was really nice to be able to get away from the crazy and busy schedules at home to have some nice mommy/daddy and Alicia only time before the next big chapter of our family begins.
