One Last Off Track Visit ...

It was shaping up to be a beautiful Spring day, and with only a few days left of being off track, what better way to spend the day then a girls trip to Disneyland. We loaded up the backpack with hats and our lunch and we were off on our Disney adventure.

We arrived to the parking structure shortly after 9:00 and scored a close parking spot! This is always such a huge highlight because it'll come in handy hours later when you're tired of walking and really don't have the energy to walk to the other side of the structure. We hopped on a tram with no waiting! This was a first in MONTHS!! So far, so good.We entered into Disneyland first and started getting on things that would later have long lines, with the exception of all the good rides, my kids don't ride the good rides. We had our lunch inside the Golden Horseshoe and watched the show. This particular show used to be done outside and has since been moved indoors. We sat in the front row of tables and the girls very much enjoyed the show. We managed to do quite a bit and the crowds weren't too bad. I've read in several spots on the internet that the Disneyland Resort is anticipating extreme crowds next week, so maybe today was the calm before the storms to come?? We did a few things we very rarely do, like ride the horse drawn street car on Main Street and the Storybook ride. It was such a beautiful day that we did take some time to sit on a bench and people watch. Hannah didn't know what it meant to people watch, so I taught her. And we made up stories about the people who walked past us. She was a crack up!We strolled through some shops today as well. With exactly two weeks before Hannah's birthday, and with the anticipation of the $59 Fun Card she will receive on her birthday at the gates of Disneyland, we were scoping out the stores to give her an idea as to what she'd like to spend her money on. The possibilities were endless.Hannah goes back to school on Monday, and next week is supposed to be extremely busy, so this will most likely be our last trip before Hannah's birthday on the 15th. It'll be fun to come and spend the afternoon after school spending free money from Disney!
