Disneyland!

Woke up this morning and drove an hour to DISNEYLAND!!

First we went to California Adventure, and it was amazing! I had never been before so it was all new and exciting. I absolutely loved The Toy Story Mania 3-D ride. We rode Soaring Over California twice because we liked it so much. We rode all the rides there and Disneyland, and the longest line we had was about 20 minutes, it was incredible.

Add beautiful blue skies and temperatures in the high 80's and it was one great California day! Mom and I ate lunch at the Blue Bayou Restaurant overlooking Pirates of the Caribbean, and it was great. At around 6 we decided we should go on Splash Mountain, and we got completely soaked... not the most fun walking around in squishy shoes and wet pants at night. I lost my phone on the Dumbo ride, but the attendant Dennis found it and had it 'rushed to City Hall" where it was waiting safe and sound for me.
Overall, one of the best days I've had. Everything was fun today. :)

My First Blog!!

This is my first blog!

As most people know by now, I am going to France on Thursday, so I made this blog to keep everyone posted on my adventures. I thought I would start my blog before I actually left so that I can get warmed up.
Today was a big step towards my Parisian adventure, it was my second trip to the French Consulate in LA, and I was victorious this time around and obtained a visa. I got my first taste of the French, and apparently they are rude, but if you do everything they ask of you, they are quite nice. After I got my stamp of approval I had lunch with my mom and brother in Westwood. However, I was soon discouraged when I realized they spelled my name wrong on my visa. Not sure how that is going to work out. Then I wanted to go to the beach with my little niece. We had a great time! Did I mention it was around 85 degrees? I'm going to miss California. It was a beautiful day, and we had a lot of fun, until Libby had to go home. I heard "NO DOODLE!!" more than once. Afterward mom and I made a quick stop at Disneyland! It was great, I got a season pass, and we even got to ride a few rides. That was my big Monday Adventure! I don't know if I could have crammed anything else into it, which is how I assume I'll be in Paris; busy, busy, busy!
