After a cancelled Disneyland trip at the end of April, my friend and I decided to reschedule for mid Septmeber, thinking the parks would be open. June gave us the glimmer of hope when an opening date was announced: July 17th. Perfect. But days before opening, everything in California came to a screeching hault. We waited. And waited. And waited and waited and waited. Nothing. So we opted for a beach trip, instead. When we booked our Airbnb, I realized that Huntington and Newport beaches would put us close enough to Disneyland to enjoy an afternoon at Downtown Disney. Which then turned into TWO days in Downtown Disney. The entire trip was a blast and was a much needed break from reality, even with all the masks and hand sanitizer. Things I want to remember:
the dinosaur on Balboa Island · empty Huntington Beach · discovering my beach umbrella tilts · stores a mile from the beach not having beach towels · my new cat towel · Starbucks Pink Drink · visiting Downtown Disney · Tortilla Joe's for dinner and the delicious food · HGTV · refreshing Korean face masks · Downtown Disney a SECOND day (because we could) · World of Disney store · Tortilla Joe's for lunch · Salt and Straw vegan ice cream · spontaneously deciding on Aquarium of the Pacific · Courtney's concern for touching jelly fish · seeing a sea lion in the harbor · leftover tacos on the beach at sunset · DOLPHINS · naming seagulls (Phil, Thomas, Norman, Bernard, Ezekial) · being SURROUNDED by seagulls · more HGTV · cheer poses at the beach
