Our Trip - Day 1

We had such an amazing time on our vacation last week. Hard to believe it is over, but now we are starting the baby countdown so that is exciting. (6 weeks, or 42 days!) It was so much fun that I wanted to blog about each day of our trip, so today I will start with the first day. To see some more pictures check on facebook.
We woke up early, and headed to the airport. It was kind of a crazy start due to airline problems. The computers shut down as everyone was checking in. They started writing paper boarding passes, and we were on our way to security. Once at security, they realized that the boarding passes said 3/4 not 4/3 for the date. So most everyone in line had to run back to the ticket counter and get their fancy boarding passes fixed. Jeremy walked back for us, while we waited with all of our stuff. Most of the passengers were afraid the flight would leave without them, but we knew that our flight was the only flight of that airlines that morning, and we would be fine. Once on the plane everything was fine, I get a little motion sickness due to turbulence, but with Jerm's help I pulled through. Brady watched a movie on the ipad while we chatted.
About 20 minutes from the flight landing, Jeremy smelled smoke, and heard an alarm going off. I quickly tightened Brady's seat belt thinking something was wrong with the plane. Turns out someone was smoking in the bathroom. The whole plane was shocked, and kind of mad. Once we landed, the man was escorted from the plane with police. I googled it later and the fine is a minimum of $3300, some expensive cigarette.
After arriving safe and sound we got our rent car, and found some mexican food. It was okay, but nothing special. We went to the hotel and tried to get Brady to take a nap, but he was so excited, he refused to sleep. Sadly that was the trend of the whole trip. Since he wasn't sleeping we walked the mile or so to Disneyland. So exciting for all of us, but Brady was amazed.
There were a ton of people, but we kind of expected it on a Sunday, and thought as it got later the crowd would die down.
After walking around for a bit, we rode the train. It took us through the grand canyon, and we saw dinosaurs, before we got off in toontown.
We played around some, and went to Mickey's house for a visit. 
I thought Brady might tackle Mickey. He was so excited. After Mickey we rode the "It's a small world" ride. That song is still in my head. 
After that we walked around, and Brady fell asleep. Poor guy was so tired. We thought that the lines would be shorter when we came back Tuesday, so we all decided to call it a day.
