My Mini Vacay!

So I had mentioned the other day that I was coming down to LA for a couple of days. I had managed to get a fantastic deal on two one day passes for Disney*land and Cali*fornia Adve*nture. I got the 2 tickets for $70 which is almost half of what they usually are. Since I had time off requested for the FET that wasn't I decided I needed to find myself some happy. And what better place to do that than one of the happiest places ever. Actually to some it may sound like a living nightmare what with being the mecca of little children, babies and pregnant ladies. That said I'm enjoying myself. I sort of steer clear of the babies and the kids I can usually get a laugh over. Plus I truly LOVE this place and it's one of my favorite places to go. Today was fabulous. It was beautiful and sunny and warm but not too warm. Plus it wasn't horribly busy. I managed to walk on to Pir*ates of the Carr*ibean 3 times with no wait. The longest I waited for anything was Spa*ce Mou*ntain and the submarine ride (which totally was not worth the wait).
I had some interesting thoughts though when I first got there this morning. I was walking around some before the rides etc opened and was looking through the shops which of course were open. I got to thinking how the next time I come here I will likely be significantly smaller. It was a really exciting thought. I love Dis*neyland because most all of the rides will fit even a larger individual but it still isn't easy. It still can be a bit of a tight fit on a couple rides and I always forget how much my feet and knees hate hauling around the rest of my body until I've been on them ALL day. But I love rides. A couple years ago I went to the fair when I was in Sacramento. I was so disappointed that day because I couldn't ride hardly any of the rides as I was too big. Same with Mag*ic Mountain several years ago when I first came down to California. It was so disappointing to not fit. And embarrassing. Also when I went to Vegas last fall I was disappointed because there had been so many things I had wanted to do and couldn't as I just couldn't do the walking. It will be really nice to be a lot thinner and therefore hopefully more able to walk around and do more. I'm actually really looking forward to it.
Now I better publish this before my hour of internet coverage is over.

That is a great thought. I remember when my sister and I went to Cedar Point and she could not get on a ride because she was too big. IT was devastating to her and she was so embarrassed. I am not a small person either so it has made me afraid to go to any parks since then.

I am excited for you and for all the great things you will be able to do and how great you will feel. Have fun!!

I wish I would have known you were going to be at Disney - I would have made hubby watch the littles and I would have kept you company! (Yeah, I just totally invited myself - I bet you're thanking your lucky stars that you DIDN'T mention it before hand, huh? lol). Anyhow...glad you had a good time. We love Disneyland and have season passes. Did you get rained on much? Rainy days are the best time to go.

I was catching up on my blogging and I am so sorry to read that you had to cancel the cycle. I know it must be frustrating. We get scared that we will never been able to transfer our last three embryos because money never seems to get any better here either. I am glad to hear that you had a nice trip though. You deserved some relaxation. Hugs Megan

Sounds like a wonderful getaway! The thought of the warm sun shining is enough, add Disney to the mix and it's a win :)

I know EXACTLY what you mean about hauling around extra weight. A lot of places are inconvient. How great to look forward to a smaller more comfortable life.

So glad you had such a good time!

So many things to look forward to post bypass weight loss. I say you should go to Vegas for another trip, and do everything you want, once you've reached a certain weight.

I have never been to Disney world in Florida so I don't know how it compares but I am with you I love Disney Land. the soaring through California ride was one of my favorites. Did you get to try that? Space mountain was my first roller coaster ride ever! I am glad you had a nice time.
