After deciding to go to California, we ended up deciding to go to southern California. We almost went to San Fransisco (we wanted to see Wicked and drive the coast highway), but we decided southern California was more within our ability. And since Steph had never been to Disneyland, we had to go.
Disneyland was a blast! We bounced back and forth between the California Adventure and Disneyland and tried to ride everything we could in two days. We ended up riding the Indiana Jones ride five times, Pirates of the Caribbean four times, and California Soarin' twice (and saw San Fransisco and the coast). They were awesome. We even got soaked on Grizzly Peak Rapids!
I am a roller coaster fanatic. Steph on the other hand, hasn't been much of an enthusiast. However, she was a trooper and decided to try some of the bigger rides. She even got on California Screamin'! While that was a one and only, she loved Space Mountain and I don't know how many times we rode it. Disney was a great time for both of us.
After Disneyland, took a drive down the coast from LA to Oceanside and stayed at a resort for two days. The resort was right on the beach and was beautiful. It was Steph's first time in the Pacific and she loved the sight and sound of the waves. It was also her first time in the surf. We had a great time walking the beach and looking for shells.
On our way out of town, we briefly stopped in San Diego, went to the temple, ate in Old Town, and went out to Coronado Island. We even walked around the USS Midway! It was a great time.
