Gathering #98

Sorry I have been M.I.A. the last 2 months when it comes to blogging. My summer got a way from me. I spent the majority of the summer remodeling (post to come about this), but on a happy note I did do some traveling. In June I spent a week in Southern Utah. We went to a ton of National Parks. I went camping with my family, spent a weekend in Logan, and spent a week in Disneyland.

Yes that's right a week in Disneyland. So this post is all about that week. My camera got ruined on Grizzly Rapids. So all of my pics where stolen off of my friends facebook page. Gotta love facebook.

Day one:
We (My friends Jeff and Kim, and Daniel and I) drove the entire way in one day. We laughed a ton. It was a lot of fun, and my first road trip actually being allowed to drive. We stayed at the Del Sol Inn. Right across the street from the main gate. We checked in, got our tickets, and then got beignets at the Jazz Kitchen (this would become a nightly tradition).

Day two:
Was actually day one in the park. We immediately got a fast pass on Indiana Jones, and then our first ride was Pirates (my favorite). We stayed in the Disneyland side this day. Some highlights of this day riding the tea cups that fit 6 (NOT) and coming off extremely dizzy, walking through the gate, and eating at the carnation cafe ( a new favorite)

Day three:
Daniel and I went into the park by ourselves this morning. Our friends had to put in some hours with their internships. We rode Indiana Jones, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder, and Splash Mountain. We meet up with our friends and rode some more rides. We went to a late lunch early dinner at the Blue Bayou.

Day four:
This day we used our magic morning early admission. We immediately followed the crowd and rode on Star Tours. It was awesome. We hung out in the park until 10 am. And then went into California Adventure. They did Tower of Terror. I don't like it at all so I got us fast passes for Soarin over California (my favorite ride in California Adventure).

Day Five:
Last day in the park. I went to lunch this day with my good friend Kristina who lives in Anaheim. We rode every ride we wanted to ride and laughed as much as we could. My camera and phone got drenched on Grizzly Rapids. But all in all had a great day.

Day Six:
We drove home!

Favorites for me:
River Belle Terrace Breakfast
Jazz Kitchen Beignets (my brother Daniel was addicted)
Blue Bayou
Carnation Cafe
Shopping for my family (especially trying to narrow down what I wanted to get for Sammy)



But my favorite part of the whole trip was getting to spend time with my little brother Daniel!
