Disneyland

On Wednesday of our stay in So Cal, the boys didn't have school so Antoinette had a great idea - let's go to Disneyland!  I had themed my Economics classes nearly my entire career to Walt Disney World in Florida and how the economic concepts of my course could be seen in real life.  But I'd NEVER been to Disneyland in California.  It was an amazing day from start to finish.  The day captured in many photos.....
First time EVER at Disneyland California
We're HERE - DISNEY DAY
Oh my - Tinker Bell is with us
Main Street USA - but HOW small is Sleeping Beauty's Castle compared to WDW Cinderella's Castle!
The happiest couple in the happiest place on earth :)
First stop, the Jungle Cruise
Second stop, Indiana Jones.....WOW
