California Day 5

On our fifth day, Marley, Mike, Mason, my mom and I all headed to California Adventure. My dad went out on his own to see some military things. We immediately headed for Cars Land to get our fast passes for the Radiator Springs Racers. While my mom waited for those with Mason, Mike and I took Marley on the Tower of Terror.  She was okay with it until we got off and then she started crying.  I think we traumatized her because she keeps talking about it and it was almost a week ago. Oops! Mike had to go back to work tomorrow so he only got to spend the morning with us before he had to head off to the airport. We were sad to see him go =(

Marley got picked to dance with the street band.

California Day 4

On our fourth day we were up bright and early to head to Disneyland.  Up until today we had been staying at a hotel in Anaheim Hills, but today we were also checking into our Disney hotel.  We went to the park for a while and then headed to The Grand Californian Hotel to relax and wait for Mike to arrive. While we were in California for the last 4 days, he was in Arizona visiting some friends. He made the 6 hour drive to Cali and was able to head to the park with us for the rest of the night.

A Disney employee came running up to Marley saying "Oh Princess Belle, can I have your autograph?" Marley signed her name in his book and gave a big smile. I don't think she knew what to think, but it was really cute! 

My first Dole Whip. My dad stood in line for almost 30 minutes to get them for me and my mom.

California Day 3

On our third day of vacation we headed to Downtown Disney for a little shopping and a character dinner at Goofy's Kitchen. Marley loved the Lego Store and ended up getting three little Lego guys. The dinner was really good, but Mason cried whenever a character came over. We made it an early night because we had to get up early for DISNEYLAND!!

This and the one below are made from Legos. So cool! 

Poor Mason 

California Day 2

On day 2 of our vacation we headed to Seal Beach, CA.  I had been to Seal Beach about 15 years ago (wow I feel old) and I thought I remembered seeing seals here so that's why we went. However, upon arriving and checking online on my phone it said that since there are so many people the seals don't come around anymore =(   We still had a nice time. Marley and my parents went in the water while Mason and I just sat and played. Marley collected some shells but they didn't get to come home with us because they smelled so bad!

After we left the beach we stopped for dinner at In N Out Burger. None of us have ever been before so it was a little weird that they only had 4 things on their menu. The food was pretty delicious though. Here's Mason and Marley in their hats that all the workers wear.
