Disneyland is for kids. That's my take on it. But after the trip I realized it's still for the kid at heart. Celeste fits into that category. She absolutely LOVED it. She is quite amazing. A very incredible woman. She can still get excited about even the lamest rides. As an example, we went to Star Tours. If you don't know, Star Tours is a Star Wars ride where a big group of people get seated in a "moving" room. They play this video on a big screen in the front and can shift the room up and down and sideways to make it feel like you are actually moving along with the movie that's playing. She went nuts! The rest of us came out with yawns, or a couple of fond memories of younger days when that ride seemed so cool. Not Celeste. She actually yelled out during the ride because she got so into it. And this happened all day long. All day and a half actually, since we went to California Adventures as well.
So I am grateful for a wife that is young at heart, and who will inspire mystery and awe in our kids as they grow up that Disneyland really is the place where dreams come true.
OK. Now on with the program. Here are some favorite moments of the trip captured on film.
First off, the best picture of all: A sleeping beauty!
And then the real one:
Other notable characters:
Since it was 95+ degrees when we were there, we all agreed that getting wet meant staying cool.
Splash Mountain:
Brooklyn is our water baby:
A trip to California wouldn't be complete without a day at the beach.
It was a fabulous getaway from the grind of the semester!

Looks like a tun 'o fun to me. You go energetic Celeste! Way to get your money's worth!
That makes me so excited! We are going to go this summer also. Sam is going to freak when he sees buzz lightyear.
What a fun trip! I loved the comments about Celeste. She is one of the funnest people that I know! I love her excitement :) I like the pic with Snow White, but I think Jackie pulled it off better.
There is something about Barrand's and getting their money's worth at an amusement park. Wear comfortable shoes and pack a lunch.
