Five weeks from today will be my last day of work before my vacation to California! I am ridiculously excited for a number of reasons.
1. I NEED A VACATION!
2. I’ve never been to California. Okay, well maybe I was there for a couple of hours in October 2012 when I was visiting my sister in Las Vegas and we drove to Los Angeles for a taping of The Price Is Right!
Yes, I made awesome shirts that landed us in the front row behind contestants row. No, I didn’t get to “COME ON DOWN” (number one on my 30 before 30 list). And yes, I gave Drew Carey a doll that I made to look like him, which he promptly shoved down his pants?
We spent most of the day sitting in lines, and then drove back to Vegas, so I wouldn’t exactly consider it a trip to California.
3. Since I’ve never been to California, I have obviously never been to DISNEYLAND!!! We are staying at The Paradise Pier Hotel.
4. I will be running the Dumbo Double Dare and earning my Coast to Coast Medal after also running the Glass Slipper Challenge in Disney World.
5. Matt is driving up from San Diego to run with me. He’ll be super disappointed when he realizes I move much slower than he does, but I’ve never run a race with someone before, so maybe with his help I’ll be able to get a new PR!
6. I am making awesome costumes. Can you guess what one of them is?
I really do need to get my crafting act together and finish these up, five weeks will go by fast!
So those are the reasons I’m excited for this trip. I’ve made us dining reservations each night for dinner. We will be eating at Steakhouse 55, Blue Bayou, Naples Ristorante e Pizzeria, Tortilla Jo’s and Wine County Trattoria. If anyone has any suggestions for lunch and dinner please let me know! Also, are there certain things I just HAVE to do while I’m in Disneyland??? (You know, besides the two races and expo).
