...where I left off before I publicly declared my love for Utah.
After the wedding in Seattle, we decided to make a quick run to Disneyland. I know, it makes perfect sense since Washington is so close to Southern California. And by quick, this is what really went down: we enjoyed New Years in Kerry Park and made it back to the hotel by around 2am. Got up at 6am January 1st, packed, checked out and were on the road by 7:30am. Drove 24 hours straight through Washington, Oregon (brief stop to visit my parents!), and pretty much the entire length of California. Pulled into the Disneyland parking lot at 7:30am January 2nd, a whole 24 hours later. Disneyland opened at 8am. Wearing the same clothes we had on, we shoved toothbrushes in a backpack and spent the next sixteen hours at the Happiest Place on Earth. We were exhausted and fueled on sugary gingerbread cookies, hot chocolate and sheer adrenalin, but we were sure happy. We had a blast. Then, back to our hotel at 1am, and back on the road by nine the next morning to make the twelve hour drive to Utah.
And that is what I mean by a quick trip down to Disneyland.
Back in Utah, after catching up on my sleep, we went to see the UP! house
and I met Dawn from Survivor: South Pacific. She was the kindest, most gracious woman. What a gem!
I have quilty things to share too! Promise. I was a busy little sewer (ha! Please read that sew-er and not soo-er) while down south and have much to show for it.
Have a good weekend! Sun's out here. Trains are moving in the yards. Feels like Spring!
