HAPPIEST BLOG POST ON EARTH - Part 2

Disneyland is over. And I am a sad soul. I didn’t anticipate feeling so attached to that place, but here I sit - longing to go back. I never before understood families that go annually (or more!), but I get it now. I. GET. IT. That place is magical. And watching children light up like that over all of the different experiences? My favorite part. We're already weighing the options of getting an annual pass when we return again as a family in four years. Annnnnnd the mr. and I are considering taking a kid-free trip to Disneyland in the near future. So much to see, do, and eat. Here we go, the last and final day at Disneyland...

  1. I have a picture in those Toontown jail bars from when I was 15 and there with my family. Still just a magical no matter what age you go.
    Leigh, what a magical trip for your family.
    ...and you and Robert should totally go back.
