A few months ago, Robbie surprised me by telling me we were going to Disneyland for our anniversary this year. I burst into tears because, first, I had had a really bad day and this was THE happiest news and, second, he promised me a year ago when we went with his family that he'd take me back because I couldn't ride any of the rides (pregnant) and it was kind of depressing.Okay, really depressing. I didn't expect it at ALL and it was the best having it to look forward to all summer long.
We left the girls with Robbie's parents, which worked out perfectly because we've been living with them for the past couple of months. All the girls' stuff is here and we had some good opportunities to train them and feel comfortable leaving them and not worrying while we were gone. His parents are rockstars and I didn't worry one bit the whole time we were gone. They did such a great job and the girls loved it. But let me tell you, leaving your babies for the first time as a new mom is tough!! You get so excited thinking about leaving and getting a break, and then you miss them the second you're gone. I guess it means we love those little chunkers.
We left on Monday afternoon and came back Wednesday night. It was the perfect little getaway. After almost 9 months of sticking to a demanding schedule every day with babies, we enjoyed just relaxing. We ate at some delicious restaurants, watched movies, and crammed Disneyland/California Adventure all into one day (Tuesday). We tore it up and made a plan beforehand of which rides we were going to hit and at which times. We walked crazy fast and it was fun to do whatever we wanted whenever we wanted. It rained for about an hour while we were at the park, but cleared and actually may have helped as far as crowds went. We went at a perfect time in the year and didn't have to wait longer than 30-40 min for a ride. We rode a lot in the single rider line and used fast passes as often as we could. We were exhausted by the end of the day, but had a total blast.
On the plane about to take off!
Cute husband with our cute little rental car.
We took a selfie on almost all the rides we went on. Robbie's poor hair suffered from the morning rain, haha! Still such a handsome guy.
Dayna occasionally sent us pictures of the girls. Gah we love them!!
My only regret from the trip is that I didn't get to go on California Screamin, but it ended up being a blessing in disguise. I got cut in line and was just about to get on the ride when they shut it down because it got STUCK. This is a picture of the people that cut in front of me stuck on the ride. I'm so grateful it wasn't me. Tender mercy right there.
We're currently watching all of the Star Wars movies right now before #7 comes out in December (currently on #5). Love my Star Wars nerd.
Disneyland in the fall is a dream!
It was the perfect trip at the happiest place as the happiest couple. I love my Robbie! And the reunion with our girls? It was the happiest thing ever. Can't wait to take them with us someday. Thanks to Robbie for an incredible trip.
So glad you two had the opportunity to go and celebrate your anniversary. You both deserved a break -- you are hard workers, and going all day long! You are amazing!
