High Rollin'

So we were suppose to do this hike with Scott and Randi. Brian was all excited to show our friends his love of hiking, we invited the Buell's too but they couldn't make it.

As it got closer we were wondering if they were still excited and still wanted to actually rough it for two days in the mountain. 

Well, Scott sent Brian a text and politely offered up an irresistible counter offer: go with them to Laguna Niguel...in a private jet nonetheless. Brian knew better than to turn down that offer. He surprised me with the news and I was ecstatic.

As much as we were looking forward to being off the grid and roughing it, we couldn't say no and so away we went for a little California getaway. 

Now I don't ever want to fly commercial, I think that might be a problem.

We dined on delicious food and wonderful service the first night and every morning woke up to room service. For real, I was dreaming for sure.

So, what did we do the first day there? After working out whilst staring at the beach, we devoured our room service and then went.to.DISNEYLAND!
Sans kids!
WHAT?!

It was magical. Don't get me wrong, seeing your children in awe and so happy is a wonderful feeling. But also, getting to ride the adult rides with your friends is pretty spectacular too.

A little swings to cool us off on the hot day!

California Screamin'!!! We screamed, then rode it again, loved it!

We walked back and forth between California Adventure and Disneyland to hit up our Fast Pass rides. We did Tower of Terror, Cars (twice), California Screamin' (twice), Thunder Mountain, the Matterhorn (ouch, that roller coaster is flippin' old), the swings, Toy Story, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Safari one (Brian won't hear the end of that bad call), and well...did a crap ton!

"Hmmm, what dat you say?"

Have to do the obligatory stunting picture

Don't smile Brian!

We soaked it in and didn't leave until 11 pm. My calves were so sore and it was so worth it.
When we woke up the next morning Brian said he couldn't believe that when Randi and I went with all 4 girls we would get up and do it again, ha! Although we weren't staying out until 11 pm with the girls, pushing a double jogging stroller was still pretty crazy.
The rest of our vacation was spent poolside where I promptly burned myself to a crisp. Score, go me. We visited Fashion Island, walked on the beach, got a couples massage, and just had a grand old time.

 Now I have some incredible memories and a nasty sunburn to remember our Paradise getaway...
