Our Disneyland Anniversary Adventure

For our 4th anniversary, we decided to celebrate by going to the happiest place on earth.... Disneyland!!!  We had alot of fun for 2 days at Disneyland and California Adventure.  So much fun, that i really didnt take out the camera much :(  Oh well, i got a few great shots to share.  Since we had both been to Disneyland several times before, we decided to do some of the things that we had never done before.  We started out at California Adventure.  We did the normal fun rides like the Tower of Terror, and talking to Crush the turtle.  We had never done the Animation Academy, so that was a new treat.  We learned how to draw "Dopey" from Snow White.  We found on the back lot a Monster's Inc ride.  It was cute.  Eldon had never been to Muppets 3D, I think he had fun at that.  We rode on the Farris Wheel, that was fun to see the view of the park.  For a special treat, we had a fancy dinner at Wine Country Trattoria to get amazing tickets for the new World of Color.  The dinner was alright, definitely not worth the money, but the seats were!  Check out some video...of course I love Pirates of the Caribbean, so I was ecstatic when this came on....

Also, this one gives a better view of the show.... Amazing!!!  Sorry about my camera's focus, but still amazing!

 The next day we spent playing at Disneyland.  We went on the pirate boat, went to the pirate island, went and saw Michael Jackson's Captain EO...much better as child (definitely lame now).  For our anniversary lunch, we went and ate at the Blue Bayou, which is the restaurant inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.  Again, big fan of pirates, unfortunately, the lunch was much better in my dreams, but still something that i had always wanted to do.  We of course rode some of the awesome rides like space mountain, the jungle cruise, pirates, and Finding Nemo Submarine rides.  For Eldon's sake, we rode on the Chevron Race way, and because i am a nice wife.... i let him drive :) We had a really good time, and a very happy anniversary.  I think the best part was the buttons that Disneyland gave us.  Everyone in the entire park, including other guests were wishing us Happy Anniversary.  It was alot of fun!  It also got us a few perks, like cuts in a few lines.  Cant beat that.  Although we had a blast, I will say that by far, Disneyland is not the happiest place on earth, the happiest place on earth is at home in the arms of my loving husband.  I am so grateful for four amazing years of bliss.  They have been the happiest years of my life, even with the heartache we have experienced. I am so in love with you and so excited for a future full of love and happiness with you.  Happy Anniversary my Love!!! Thanks for a wonderful time at the second happiest place on earth.
