Disneyland

Since both Ryan and Rachael had the whole week off for Thanksgiving, we drove to Disneyland! It's only about a six hour drive from here.

We went to Huntington Beach when we got to Anaheim and ate at Ruby's on the Pier.  It was fun!

Only one day - we spent it all at the Magic Kingdom.

 Our first roller coaster of the day: Big Thunder Mountain.  Ryan looks excited.  Rachael looks nervous. She did pretty well; we also did the Toontown coaster, Splash Mountain, and of course the Matterhorn.

 We accidentally came across It's A Small World.  Rachael was enchanted.  Ryan must really like her because he even went with us. 

The "dancing teacups!" Her favorite from Walt Disney World.  Still fun.
(We noticed the one in Florida is covered but the one in California is in the open air.)

The carousel! I have a picture almost like this from Walt Disney World.

 Star Tours! Our favorite as a family.

All decorated for Christmas.  It was beautiful.

Driving home through Los Angeles.

We had so much fun - we may make it an annual tradition!
