Californ-vacation

We just got back from California.Went to Disneyland for 3 days, Seaworld for a day and the San Diego Zoo for a day. Randy and I went with his 3 brothers, their wives, and their kids (we were the only ones on the trip with no kids, ahhh, the freedom!). The total ratio of kids to adults was 8:8 - so nobody was outnumbered, although the adults seemed to be at times. We rode with Randy's brother Brian, his wife Desi and their 2 cute kids Roxy (age 4) and Riley (age 2). It was a lot of fun. This is the first time in the five years that we have been married that we have taken this many days off in a row together! Even our honeymoon was only 4 days because of work and school. It made me want to go on more trips and maybe some trips with just the 2 of us for a long period of time. Before the trip, a friend that I work with was joking about Disneyland souvenirs. I asked what I should bring her and she said, "I want you to find me a Mickey Mouse antenna ball with a santa hat on it." We both laughed. Just for fun, I looked around a little at Disneyland, and in no time at all, I found this:



Disneyland is insane! I saw some even more crazy souvenirs than this, like a mickey mouse whisk, pirates of the carribean playing cards, buzz lightyear toothpaste, etc... you get the idea.

Classy.

So... Randy needed a haircut before disneyland because his hair was getting a little long. We went to mom's house and as the haircut progressed, we all decided it wold be a shame to not cut a mullet. Mom was feeling nostalgic about the mullets she used to cut in Texas and Randy was excited about the prospect of his sister in-laws being embarrassed to be seen with him. This is something I like a lot about Randy, he really doesn't take himself too seriously. When we left on Sunday morning, it was quite a surprise to everyone. We got some good looks and Randy purposely walked through a few pictures and videos of perfect strangers so everyone could enjoy the mullet. I hope his mullet shows up in someone's blog...

All in all it was an awesome trip, my only complaint is that I wish I could have relaxed a little more, but we got to ride a lot of fun rides, eat some amazing food and we all left with some great memories.
