There are less than 12 days until we leave for Florida and things are getting crazy. Alex and I are taking some short trips to our favorite places in California, visiting friends, selling/getting rid of things we own, and cleaning up the apartment (all while still working). We're doing a lot of "last" time things in California, since we are unsure of when we will return.
Alex finally found the part he needed to get his moped up and running. :) I'm proud of him!
Sean and Heather took a spin around the block on the moped.
We took our "last" trip to Disneyland before we move. It was a bittersweet trip, we are excited for the future, but sad about all we are leaving behind. We did a lot of firsts and lasts at Disneyland this time around. The weather was beautiful, warm..but not too bad.
Mickey's Silly Symphony Swings was a first.... (We actually saw a girl about to "bring up" her lunch after riding this ride) haha
Paradise Pier during the day time.
This quote was on the wall of the exit (used at the entrance that day) to Innoventions in Tomorrowland. We found it fitting.
Original to Disneyland: The Matterhorn. We rode it one last time.
The beautiful Sleeping Beauty Castle. I don't know what it is, but when I see Cinderella's Castle at the end of Main Street in pictures or in person, it just doesn't feel "right". But I'm sure it will grow on my eventually.
A Main Street vehicle.
Alex waiting for Billy Hill and the Hillbillies show to start. Another thing that is original to Disneyland. Entertaining and hilarious! Go see it if you have a chance.
Here is a link to a short video of the show.... Billy Hill and the Hillbillies
The Rivers of America were shut down because of this. They were preparing for the world premiere of the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. The premiere is this Saturday, May 7th!
Some cast members working on the decorations for the premiere.
The Columbia ship that usually sails around the Rivers of America. However for the special event it was parked right next to the seating area for added ambiance.
We finally had the opportunity to watch The World of Color this trip. We both had our doubts, but were put in our places at the end of the show haha. It was jaw dropping! (This picture was from waiting for the show to start, I wanted to watch the show, not take pictures)
Here is a video of the World of Color show.....World of Color Show (not as awesome as in person!)
Alex and Pluto
Again. (Can you guess who his favorite character is?)
Me and Minnie. We loved these classic looking character prints.
The Disneyland railroad building.
Matterhorn, again.
A view of Main Street, USA and the Railroad from "The Hub" or the Partners Statue.
A different point of view of Pluto.
Alex loves this statue.
Cute little Dumbo. :)
Astro Orbiter in the opening of Tomorrowland.
Alex got a very high score this go around, unfortunately I didn't get the shot of the score. He was excited though!
Our last time standing in the Disneyland Park. Right before we boarded the Monorail. :(
(My eyes are closed)
And we return to the disgusting air quality of the Central Valley.
This is what our apartment currently looks like... (Yes, we're using camping chairs haha)
My first attempt at pies for Easter. They came out rather well. (All of you CP's out there should be excited for home made pies during the program, especially around the holidays.....if I have time!)
The week of Alex's spring break we took a short trip to the Central Coast, mostly Morro Bay. Our friend Chelsey got us a room at the Inn she works at. It was simply wonderful!
The Fireplace :)
The huge comfy bed, with robes too!
This aquarium has been in Morro Bay forever... and I don't know the lifespan of Sea Lions, but they've been there forever too! haha They just hang out and wait for guests to throw fish pieces at them.
A beautiful view of the Bay, with some sunshine (rare)
The hot tub we had on our balcony! :) (Sorry it's not the right way, I'm being lazy right now)
We have many more last's to do before we leave on the 16th. I will try to get pictures of some of them to post.
I'm looking forward to more posts!!!
