Well, I think I've recuperated from our trip enough to write a report. We've been gone for 16 days and only one was spent at DL, unfortunately :) . The other days were spent with family, sharing the holidays, in San Diego and in Utah.
We headed out on the afternoon of the thirteenth from our home in Oklahoma. The only way we could fit a DL trip into our vacation was to drive all night and most of the next day. We arrived at Parkside Inn and Suites the afternoon of the fourteenth. I would not recommend it if you plan on spending more than a day at DL, but it wasn't bad for us to spend a couple of nights at.
My husband and I were beat from the drive, so we got some dinner from Subway and hit the sack. We hadn't told our 4 year old daughter where we were going so she and her fifteen month old brother had no problems getting to sleep.
Next morning-My husband had some things he needed to mail so we told our daughter, Sophia that we were all going to take a walk and find a mail box. When we got up to the entrance of DL I got out our camcorder. Now there are two words that Sophia recognizes. One is her name, the other is "Disneyland". So I asked her "Hey, could you read that sign for me?" She looks at it, gets a half grin on her face and asks quietly "Disneyland?" I then say "Oh, do you think we could find a mail box in there?" "Yeah!" She yells.
So we start walking across the parking lot and Sophia is talking to the other people walking along and she's telling them "We're looking for a mail box!" :D
