Disney Summer

First Disneyworld, and then today I went to Disneyland. Man, I hope I don't get Disney-ed out. HA! That could never happen :o)

It's Kim's birthday today, so she got in free, Dad has a pass so he got in, and then-lame- I had to pay for my own, but it's been a couple years since I've been. And that's a change seeing as for a couple years I had a pass and would go all the time, hence the reason that not going for a year or two is so weird to me.

We drove Dad's new car up there (he drove, he still won't let anyone else in the driver's seat of his new baby), spent forever at the ticket booth, and then headed in. The ticket booth situation was weird. I went up to one window with Kim and Dad went to a separate one. Kim got her free ticket and when she was done I told the lady what I needed. She asked if I was paying with cash or credit card and when I said credit card, she said that because of some privacy thing, I had to go to a different cashier. What?! So because I witnessed Kim tell the lady when her birthday is (which I already know, and anyone who say her wearing her birthday pin would know), I had to wait for another cashier? That stupidest part though was that she sent me to the tell next to her, and had me wait right behind the guy. I heard more information about his transaction than I did with Kim's and he's a stranger, so it's more dangerous that I heard his credit card number. Weirdos! But even with my hold up I still beat Dad. I have no idea what he was doing that took so long. Actually, I do, he was upgrading his pass since today was a black-out day, and he was getting his parking reimbursed because he was not supposed to have to pay for that.

We did everything we really wanted to do fairly quickly and it threw me off when we were ready to leave by 5pm. The only things we didn't hit were the kid rides in Fantasy Land and the Nemo submarine ride. But, we weren't willing to wait so long for those. Plus, Kim really wanted to get back to Aaron. She's never left the baby for more than like 2 hours before.

On the drive home we stopped at In-and-Out. I'm not one of those people who is crazy obsessed with it, but it does seem like something that needs to be done on a trip to California. Plus, stopping for a quick bite to eat helped us get out of the traffic a little bit (the carpool lane also helped us avoid a lot of traffic :o)

Not long after I got home, Dana came over and I helped her move a dresser from our house to her new place, and then we went for a run. Runs go by a lot faster and are a lot less painful when you've got someone to go with and you've got good stories to keep you going. Unfortunately for Dana, I did have a lot of stories to share. I'm sure that I was oober annoying, but in my defense, I was tired and needed the run to go by quickly. And speaking of tired, the reason this entry is so piddly is because it's midnight now, I've been working on this and past blogs for a while, I have to get up early-ish tomorrow to get a run in before we leave, and I'm tired and really want to go to bed. Hopefully I'll come back and fill in more details, but for now, I'm peacing out!
