Disneyland/San Diego

This last week was Stuart's LAST SPRING BREAK EVER in school so we decided to take Jack to Disneyland for his first time and spend a few days in San Diego while we were at it. To say Jack loved Disneyland is a complete understatement. It was the best thing to see how much fun he was having. Plus he saw his hero, Buzz Lightyear, in life-size. There is nothing better.

Classic front of Disney picture. I wish the man who took it for us didn't move up so close to us!
The first few rides in California Adventure he was not too sure what we were doing. Notice his expression. He got the hang of it pretty quickly though!


The new Toy Story Ride is seriously so fun. Our favorite of the day by far. And Jack's as you can tell.

Surprisingly enough, Jackson kept the 3D glasses on for the entire thing.
Back at Disney, he met his hero from afar. He was completely awestruck.

The only thing that scared him the whole day was when Mickey got right up in his face to kiss him. He did not appreciate that.
He really liked to hold the map and pretend to read it. Also, while waiting in lines he would totally perform. This was while we were waiting in line for Pirates of the Carribean. I thought that maybe it might be a little scary but at the end he was saying "Again! Again!"

Of course he had to "drive" the cars in Toon Town.
Fully passed out while waiting in line for Peter Pan's Flight... and then slept through the whole ride. Tired baby.
Yes. I insisted that we buy him the $7 (!!!!!) balloon. It kept him busy while we walked around/waited for the parade.

I couldn't get him to look at me during the parade. He liked it too much.
Loved Dumbo.
Carousel. They are his favorite no matter where we go.
Munchkin's first Disneyland Churro. It was a hit.

The rest of our time we spent down in San Diego. We stayed with Stuart's Aunt and Uncle at their home in Encinitas. It's so awesome to have family that live in such a beautiful place!
This was when we went to Pipes for breakfast. Oh my gosh those pancakes were enormous and Jackson and I definitely did not finish them. We ate at a few other favorite places including: Phil's BBQ and Bruno's Pizza. Sometimes I miss living there because of all the yummy places to go eat.
We stopped in La Jolla to see the seals on our way down to have lunch with the Turley's
If ever you get the chance to eat here. Get a milkshake. You'll thank me.
So worn out from our trip. I cannot wait to take him again!
