We drove south until Gabriel could no longer stand it and stopped in a ghost town along I-15. The barn says "Rodeo Office", in case you can't tell. But Gabriel loved playing on this rickety slide and eating our little picnic lunch. It was so much better than stopping at a restaurant.
Next we stopped in Las Vegas to get out and stretch. David insisted we see the Belagio when they do the water show because it is spectacular. Indeed it was. The boy loved all the running, once again.
And what could be more fun for the boy than to see characters from all his favorite movies in real life? NOTHING! The squeel of delight he made when he saw Lightning McQueen was priceless.
Around 2:30 we noticed a lot of crying going on around us, including our own son. Apparently this is the Witching Hour at Disneyland, when it is supposed to be nap time, but we're here having fun, you know. I walked by these princesses all tuckered out and couldn't stop laughing. I loved all the little princesses walking around. They were in heaven.
The line for Dumbo was painful for all, but Gabriel loved it.
Best day of my life! It took us another whole day to drive home, but we had a great time talking and reading my dad's autobiography to keep us awake. It was a great little vacation.

Awesome! Gabriel looks so cute asleep in the stroller. He must have had the most mind-blowing day of his life. Little Claire is so pretty in her blessing dress.
Looks like you guys had a blast. I am so mad at myself for NOT calling you make from a few weeks ago. Life has been crazy with the move....anyways next time you come to CA we have to meet up...heck next time stay with us!

Those princesses most definitely do not look like they are in heaven, but Gabriel does! Spontaneous trip to Disneyland. You crazy kids!
Wow - what a fun and spontaneous trip! Props to you for going with a newborn! I dare to drive about 4 hours right now, but that's about it. Looks like you guys had a blast!
