03/08/09 1st Day of Vacation - Driving to California

We went to Disneyland for Jacob's 6th Birthday. We decided to drive. We left on Sunday, march 8th and stopped in Vegas to check out Coca-Cola & M&M World. We got to try all of the different drinks from around the world (16 of them) and 8 yummy floats.

Julia is very determined to feed herself - she made quite the mess and this was already her 2nd outfit of the day!

Andrew says CHEESE

The Italian drink was AWFUL! I think it was called a Beverly? I was "glad" I had tasted it first because I don't think I would have been brave enough to try it if I had seen anyone else's reaction first. YUCK!!!

All smiles with his favorite drink - the one that tasted like Mt Dew.

Something was funny...

Posing by a large Coke bottle. Jacob and Julia were both in the picture too, but both of them had their eyes closed, so I cropped them out, hahaha

Jacob was carrying his M&M bag on his shoulder like a purse - it made me laugh

Being silly in front of the Rainforest Cafe - we didn't eat there, though...

We finally made it to DisneyLand!!! Julia REALLY liked this HUGE Mickey Mouse!

I wasn't going to bore you with pics of our hotel room, but look at her sweet little face! I think she was just so happy to be free from the car

The awesome view from our sliding glass door window - I specifically requested this view of Downtown Disney. We watched fireworks in our jammies, it was freakin awesome!
