Disney Vacation 2008

Well, we are finally here at Disneyland! We flew in this afternoon with the Taggart Family, around 3:30pm. This was the kids first airplane flight and they loved it! Since we are staying at different hotels, we had to take separate shuttle vans from the airport. I was able to convince our driver to take a slight detour to the local Vons grocery store and pick up some bottled water and snacks, which should save us some money on food. Since the Taggarts are leaving on Thursday, they went into Disney to use one of their five day passes. We spent our time at the Disney store in Downtown Disney. The kids got their autograph books and did some window shopping. We then went to dinner at Millie's near the hotel and finished the night by spending 45 minutes in the pool. The kids swam and I sat in the rain watching. Tomorrow we have a breakfast in the park with the Disney characters at 8am. Everyone crashed at 9:45pm after the very loud fireworks display had finished across the street. Of course, I'm not tired and so I decided to create a blog and post some pictures before bed.

More details and photos later! -Rob

We're so excited for you guys! What a fun time you have ahead of you.

Kate--Be sure and make your mom take you to see the Aladdin show in California Adventure. I'm sure your brothers wouldn't like it, but it is an awesome show that Hannah and I think you should see. Try and get a seat near the first row balcony--that way the magic carpet can fly right in front of you. :)

Can't wait to see more pictures.
