Our trip is going very well.  We have toured Downtown Disney, multiple times.  Gone to visit Brenda at her fabulous beach.  And taken our first trip through the gates of Disneyland.  And I am overwhelmed by it all.

First, I need to say that we are extremely happy with out hotel.  Being that it was the original hotel we weren’t sure what to expect, but it is wonderful.  All I would ask for is a coffee maker in the room so I don’t have to go down to the lobby for my coffee.

Second, the music.  The music that is pumped all through Downtown Disney and the Park is just too much.  Sometimes you need to think and the shiny happy music all the time doesn’t help.  People end up yelling to be heard so you have loud music and loud people.  It’s craziness I tell you.

Third, meeting Brenda after almost five years of knowing her through her blog was one of the highlights of my year.  She is everything as wonderful as you would imagine her to be.  Brenda was such a wonderful hostess, taking me to her beach to lunch at a local Mexican food place and to Balboa Island.  We played, ate and walked our way around her neighbourhood and I have to say, it would be a lovely place to live.  In fact when we were almost at her house, J declared that he was going to move there when he was older and make enough money that Hubby and I could come for a visit any time we like.  And we hadn’t even gotten out of the car yet.

Today we are heading out to Bethany’s.  Another fun day is to be had I am sure.  J is so excited he is asking me every two minutes when we are leaving.
