California girls...for a week

Last week I went on a trip to California with some friends of mine. We had a grand ole time visiting Disneyland and California Adventure. We also enjoyed a day at the beach. Are you ready for picture overload? Fantastic, here we go!

As we started to get farther and farther from home we realized that everyone started to get a little bit stranger. That theory proved true through the rest of the trip.

To loosen us up and get us ready for our fun-filled week Becca [sorry if that's not how you spell your name] led us in some Yoga exercises. There was one in particular that I was rather fond of, ask me about it sometime. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We decided if we were ever tired in line we'd do a little bit of Yoga...so we did.

The first day we were there we hit a large number of the major rides within the first two hours. We walked on to Splash Mountain and rode it TWICE in a row! We kept asking ourselves if it was real. Who gets to do that?

For some reason the right side of our boat took the biggest hits. As you can see in the picture below both Nicole and my right shoe are soaked while the left one is perfectly dry.

This was Becca's first time at Disneyland. We made sure we hit all the most essential things.

We had our times where we were bored in line, but Rochelle and Becca found ways to stay entertained.

Stephanie brought a backpack with straps and for some reason I liked taking pictures of her when she had it snapped. Isn't she cute?? :)

My two favorite rides ever since I was really little are the Carousel and Tea Cups.

I still love them both to this day. 

Stephanie loves the Chesire cat.

And speaking of things people love we saw this picture and had to take it for Mallory. We love you:)

Nicole's favorite ride was Tower of Terror. We rode it at least 6 times.

Star Tours and Toy Story were also highly popular with us.

I've also always loved Winnie the Pooh. When we passed by Tigger it was a BIG deal. After going on the Winnie the Pooh ride I decided that I want a Honey pot. I'll be making one this summer.

Nicole and I were twinners one day and wore our Star Wars t-shirts. We happened to run into some storm troopers. Pictures were obviously a must. 

Here are the rest of the pictures from our Disney adventures.

We were a little anxious

She is stylin'

I have a thing for fire hydrants...don't ask

Sending a letter to that one Missionary who loves Disneyland more than almost anything

We ended our Disney days with World of Color. This was probably my very favorite thing. For those of you who haven't seen it, put it on your bucket list as a must see!

 Let's just say, we picked the prime time of year for this trip of ours. We went for 3 days. In those 72 hours we maybe saw the sun for a total of 15 minutes. While it probably made the park less crowded, I sure did miss the sun. 

We enjoyed a fun day at the beach. We were there at the perfect time to see the Tide Pools. I saw a crab for the first time in person and was going a little crazy! We didn't manage to take any awesome pictures of some, but we did find a huge sea slug along with some Starfish. 

Naturally we were all a little, or a lot, bit sun burnt, but all in all it was a fun trip to the beach.

California you treated us well!
