Whitaker Reunion at Disneyland

I can't believe this trip has already come and gone! It seems like we had been looking forward to it forever and now it's just a memory. We had a blast with Bill's parents, brother, four of six sisters and their families.
We left for the airport early Sunday morning. After a 2 hour flight, a 30 minute wait for our shuttle and another 45 minute drive, we made it to our hotel.
Sam did great. He was wide-eyed the entire time and loved all the rides (except the Haunted Mansion--what were we thinking??). I would take him back to the hotel for a wonderful 3 hour nap in the afternoons and then we'd hit the parks again. I loved all the walking, since I haven't been doing much at home, but I was sad to miss all of my favorite rides. "It's a Small World" just doesn't give me the same rush as "Tower of Terror"!
The weather was perfect! It was nice and cool in the mornings and just right in the afternoons. We had three full days in both parks and even spent Thursday morning hitting some last rides before heading for the airport. We miss everyone already!
