California - The Drive

Do I have photos from our drive down to Disneyland?  No.  I don't.  And honestly they'd be pretty boring.  Driving in a car with two little boys isn't all that exciting really.  But I'll write the story down for posterity sake anyway.

We started the day off with a wedding.  Zander's sister got married to this awesome guy named Mike.  It was an afternoon wedding, so we left as soon as it was done.  Sorry Alisha that we weren't there for your reception.  We got on the road somewhere around 5, and drove as straight through to Vegas as you can when you're traveling with two little kids, one of which has to go to the bathroom every 2 hours.  We spent the night in Henderson with some good friends, had breakfast with them, hung out for a bit, then got on the road around 11.  Again we drove as straight through as possible when you're traveling with two little kids.

Finally we got to Anaheim late that afternoon.  We got settled into our condo, took a bit of a break, then headed over to Bubba Gump's at the Garden Walk to get some dinner.  Dinner, of course, we delicious, if not a little spastic due to a rather noisy restaurant, and over-stimulated, tired kids.





After dinner the two year old REALLY spazzed.  Kaiden ran from the bed to the couch in the living room, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, for probably about 20 minutes straight.  Wearing only a diaper.  Noah jumped on the bed for about the same amount of time.  Then they CRASHED.  I've always been worried about staying in a hotel with kids, largely because they go to bed at 7:30, and I don't go to bed until around 11.  Thankfully they slept through any noise Z and I made going to and from the fridge for our midnight snacks while they slept on the pullout bed in the living room.  Seriously, it worked out surprisingly well.
