I know this is a couple of weeks past due, but Sept. 6-11 we got on the wonder called an airplane and flew to California to take Charlie (and ourselves-who are we kidding) to Disneyland. My parents were nice enough to accompany us and help with the C Monkey. It was so much fun. The first day we drove up to L.A./Beverly Hills to search for Tori Spelling's new Hollywood abode (my family humored me) and then went to see the ocean at Manhattan Beach. Charlie was timid at first, as always, and then really got excited about the "bubbles" from the water hitting the beach.
Then for the next three days we hit Disneyland and California Adventure. Charlie loved the rides in Fantasyland and it took all of us back to those nostalgic childhood memories. It was so much fun. We already want to go back and visit.
Charlie was so excited to see Mickey!! Not Minnie, not Pluto, not Goofy...but Mickey! And ooh the tantrum when we stood in line for the fallible Minnie. So we went to Mickey's house and he walked right over to Mickey and gave him "Five" and "Knuckles." And then a KISS! Andy and I seriously teared up it was so cute. By far the best moment of the whole vacation. 
He did, however, enjoy Donald Duck's boathouse--and didn't want to leave.
The gang standing out on Main Street-Charlie, me, my mom and dad (Andy taking one for the team and snappin the pic) Shopping was even fun too. I know that sounds silly coming from the shopaholic, but you don't think, "I'm gonna go to Disneyland and see what I can shop for." No-you go for the rides. But even the shopping brought back memories and my cute hubby bought me the same Little Mermaid watch that I used to have, but broke. All in all, the trip was awesome. We may just start traveling yet.
