A Little Taste of Disneyland!

What a crazy week! This was my first time to Disneyland as well as Quinn and Emily's. We had so much fun, but man were we all exhausted afterwards! So much to do and see in such a little amount of time. The kids were so well behaved and everything went better than expected. I couldn't wait to get home but it was so sad to leave at the same time.
I planned ahead and had a town car pick us up and take us to the hotel from the hotel and then back to the airport on the day we left. We purchased shuttle passes for the days we went to Disneyland (so cheap!) And we had so many stores and such within walking distance of our hotel. I don't think I could have survived driving in that madness! Luckily, our hotel provided breakfast and dinner, so the only meal we had to worry about was lunch. Which, luckily our hotel room had a full kitchen, so we went and got groceries at Target that was 1 block from our hotel!
The kids utilized the outdoor pool at least 3 times a day, which the rashes all over them proved it! But they had to take advantage of the warm weather and pool as much as possible. It wasn't hot or cold...it was a perfect 80 degrees all 4 days we were there. Which, in return, made Oregon seem VERY cold when we returned!
I also discovered Italian Ice while down there! I am in love with those things...now if I could find them in Oregon, I would be a happy girl!
This was our first big vacation as a family. I never knew how much time and work went into planning a trip for 6. I think I was exhausted before we even left! But, I wouldn't trade a minute of it.
