Disneyland












Back in October we decided to take a last minute Disneyland trip. Justin has been looking for a new job for about a year now. He was offered one in October so we decided before we did not have a lot of vacation time we should take advantage and run to California. We are so glad we did.
We decided to drive, but we were a little worried to be in a car for 10 hours with how active Jack is. We drove for 7 hours then decided to get out at an outlet mall. Once we got there Jackson went nuts! He could not stop running and literally diving into clothes. The only thing that stopped him is he finally missed the clothes and took a nose dive. After that we thought that maybe we went a little too long.
When we got to the hotel we were so excited we could hardly stand it. Jack on the other hand kept on sniffing and saying "it stinks bye bye home." The kid has such a strong sense of smell. He often lets people know that their home stinks, or if a woman nearby has perfume on he makes sure to let everyone know that it stinks. Sometimes being to mom of a toddler can be embarrassing.
The next morning we went to Disneyland and it was so magical. Justin and I love Disney but to take our son with us this time was a million times better. The first ride we took him on was the Matterhorn. This is when having a really tall two year old helps. Jackson is a little thrill seeker so of course he loved it! By the end of the day I was exhausted but Jack and Justin we still running strong. We spent two more days in Disneyland and the third day Justin's parents met us there. Jackson was is heaven showing them all the new things he had been doing.
We wanted to wait until Jackson was a little older but we could not help ourselves. I am so glad we went. The memories from the trip will be ones I cherish forever!
