May 11 ~ Day One ~ Traveling
Like every other Disney trip, I could NOT sleep the night before! (This one may have even been the worst of them all.) To help prevent this, I took what I *thought* was a double dose of my prescription sedative. However, I read the bottle wrong...it ended up being a
quadruple dose!
Melissa spent the night with me, and she said that I was the most hilarious thing she had ever seen after I took that quadruple sedative dose!
I vaguely remember some of it. I know I was babbling incessantly about nothing, and I kept rolling off the bed and laughing hysterically!
Not surprisingly, I felt quite foggy when I woke up only 5 hours after falling asleep!
But with all that I'm-going-to-Disney energy coursing through my veins, I was wide awake in no time.
Ryan was on shift at the fire station until 6 AM, and he raced to my apartment as soon as he got off. Ryan, Melissa & I were all piled into the car with our stuff and on the road by 6:20 AM! Disney, here we come!!!
It took us a good 16 hours to drive from Keizer, Oregon, to Anaheim, California. We arrived at about 10 or 10:30 PM. The funniest thing about our trip down was the fact that our bladders were definitely NOT synchronized! We stopped at rest stops almost every 60 miles!
When two of us didn't have to go, the third one always did...LOL.
For the first two nights, we were staying at the Ramada Limited Suites with my parents. (They and my little sis had gone down a couple of days earlier to enjoy Disneyland together.) We had 2 suites...one for the guys, and one for the girls. When we got there, Michelle was already sacked out and dead asleep in the girls' room. I snapped a picture because I thought it was too precious!
We all pretty much went straight to bed. After all, the 3 teens and one preteen had a big day ahead of us at Six Flags Magic Mountain! My parents were happy to be getting a day off from Michelle, hehe. They intended to RELAX!
More soon, including pictures...
