So Cal and So Sick!

We were so lucky last week that we were able to take a trip down to Southern California and visit Disneyland! This trip was planned by my sister, who took her husband and two kids (and my parent's) down on Sunday. Matt and I didn't have that much available vacation, so we flew down Wednesday night and played until Sunday. My cousin Kati came too, so we had a really fun group of people.

My parent's spent most of their time being Grandparent's and taking the kids around while we grown-up kids spent our time running around from ride to ride. The weather was nice, especially the first couple of days. We were able to watch the Christmas parade and the Christmas fireworks, and really just get into the Christmas mood. I can't think of a better place to get your Christmas Spirit on than at Disneyland!

Unfortunately, by Saturday I was feeling pretty sick, and on Sunday I was a mess. We went into the park for a while, because we had to check out of our hotel. I pretty much spent the morning sitting on a bench just trying to keep my stomach calm. I felt bad for Matt, so I took him on his favorite ride (Pirates of the Caribbean), but that was too much for me, and after that it was over. Instead of staying at the park and being miserable, we took the first shift to the airport and sat there with the bags and were miserable while my dad made a second shuttle trip to get everyone else. It was nice, because it saved us from having to tie our luggage to the top of the rental van. But it was sad to have to call in sick to Disneyland.

I was sick for the first few days this week also, so I have been a slacker in my posting, and really in everything. I have to jam all the rest of my Christmas fun into less than a week now. I am looking forward to the challenge!
