LA Adventure

Our friend Andrea got married near Anaheim at the end of June. The wedding was on a Saturday and we decided to leave on Thursday to drive down south (5 hour drive... which became 6.5 in traffic, ugh). In Visalia, on our way, Matt's grandparents graciously let us trade our car, sans air conditioning, for their old Mazda 323, with air conditioning. Thursday also happened to be my birthday, so after we got checked into our hotel, we went to Red Robin for my free birthday burger :). And since it actually was my birthday, I got a free sundae too, yum!

On Friday, we got Grace from the airport, helped with wedding set up, and had a great time seeing everyone at the rehearsal dinner that night. Saturday we went to the beach for a little while, then it was wedding time! The ceremony was outside on the church lawn, with cute white chairs, and the reception was right next to it all. We had such a great time with our college friends and were so glad to be a part of Andrea and David's special day.

Sunday was Disneyland day!! I can't even describe to you how excited we were for Disney, and we were not disappointed one bit. I hadn't been there since I was 12 (neither had Grace) and Matt had never been there (although he had been to Disney World). Imagine, the happiest place on earth with like 7 of your great college friends (who know all too well how to be silly and have fun... we may have reverted back to college-like obnoxious behaviors...), for one long, amazing, exhausting, fun-filled day! We were there from opening at 8 am to closing at midnight :). And thanks to Fast Passes, the best invention ever, we never waited in line for more than 30 min (also thanks to the Disneyland app to give you wait times for rides, hee hee).

Monday we drove back home with the addition of Grace for more fun, evidenced on my previous post.

It's not letting me put pics on here right now... here is a link to the album on facebook, I will try again later.
