Dznygrl and Mr. Incredible do the DL Meet n Greet

dznygrl · 10-14-2006

Hi guys!
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get around to this, but in my defense I'm a tired pregnant lady.

This isn't going to be a very detailed trip report; I didn't keep track of exactly what we did. This trip was a quick weekend and we spent most of it catching up with friends.

We were actually barely in the parks!

But I mostly wanted to share a few pics!! So this is my pictorial trip report of our brief weekend at Disneyland...including the Meet n Greet.

**Dana** · 10-14-2006

Yeah new report! Can't wait to hear it all or see it all...whatever trip report is a trip report!! WOO HOO

Day 1: Friday 9/29

We left Friday at about 11:45 AM...a little later than we had hoped to get on the road, but still a better start than if I hadn't taken the day off of work!

It was smooth sailing until we hit Roseburg, Oregon...and then we hit this.

(It doesn't look that bad, but we were sitting at a dead stop when I took this pic so that should tell you how bad it is.)

dznygrl · 10-14-2006

It took forever to find out what was causing that terrible backup. Turns out it was a completely burned-out shell of a motorhome!

It pretty much looked like it had blown up.

I hope no one was inside!

I tried to get a pic, but traffic was moving too fast at the point when we passed it.

After more than several hours on the road, I was already feeling exhausted. Time for a rest stop!

**Dopey** · 10-14-2006

That's the trip report?
Could there be more?
C'mon dizzygirl me is waiting

dznygrl · 10-14-2006

We drove...and drove...and drove all night...

I tried to sleep while Ryan was driving, but it just wasn't happening.

Finally at about 2:30 AM we stopped in Coalinga, California, and decided to sleep for a while!

This bed was soooooooo small...but it didn't matter! We were out like a light!

dznygrl · 10-14-2006

Day 2: Saturday, 9/30

Good morning! Time to get back on the road again - only a few hours to go!

Ryan doesn't look very happy.

Maybe he didn't get enough sleep...

twist1980 · 10-14-2006

I feel your pain, that is one long drive down I-5!

I can't wait to see the rest!!

dznygrl · 10-14-2006

We got stuck in TERRIBLE traffic (again) in Burbank, which put us into Anaheim several hours later than we'd hoped.

We had left home over 28 hours ago!

Oh well, we had arrived! And we were totally psyched to check into our hotel - the Anaheim Hilton! (Thank you Priceline.

)

And no, I didn't take this pic.

dznygrl · 10-14-2006

Our room at the Hilton was BEAUTIFUL, my pictures cannot even do it justice. It was HUGE and we had a King size bed - yay! Just like home, lots of room for the preggo lady!

dznygrl · 10-14-2006

We really fell in love with this hotel while we were here. I wish I would have taken more pictures.

We didn't have a single complaint the entire time...

...the bed was always made, plenty of towels, coffee/water cups replaced, ice bucket emptied, no billing problems!...

Plus the room smelled great.

I know that's weird to say, but c'mon...we HAD just been in a Motel 6 the night before.

We were just really amazed how the room didn't smell like anything had ever been covered up. It actually smelled completely and totally clean. No weird air fresheners or sprays...just CLEAN!

lovemysons · 10-14-2006

Excellent!

A trip report!!

Patiently waiting.

For more.

Andrea · 10-14-2006

What? No picture of Lake Shasta? That's the best part of the drive!

dznygrl · 10-14-2006

Even though we were dead tired and would have loved to crash on that big bed...

...our friends were expecting us.

Little did we know, we were in for a wonderful surprise.

A surprise baby shower!!

They made me wear the pink cowgirl hat...I'm not sure why...

dznygrl · 10-14-2006

Apparently they had some trouble with the last-minute preparations, that's why the cake looks so sloppy.

But in case you can't read it, it says "It's A Girl!"
