As Good as it Gets

No sense wasting time with words, I'll let the pictures do the talking. Just know this, when you combine warm weather, soft sand, the happiest place on earth, good food, temples, sunsets, and a rock-awesome traveling partner...let's just say, its hard to beat.


Day 1 - Walking through the surf at Newport Beach. Just after we hit up In-n-Out before soaking it up in the hot tub before a rather early bedtime.


Day 2 - Disneyland! Woot! On the bridge in Tarzan's treehouse. The lines were great all day. Most rides had about a 5-10 minute wait. Both Space Mtn and the Matternhorn were around 15-20. Autopia was about 25 but we were lucky enough to go at the absolute busiest time. Go figure.


Lunch of some bodaciously large corn-dogs at a little spot by the Golden Horseshoe.


Waiting in line (fast pass of course) at the Indiana Jones ride.


Walt has a mouse to pose with. I get a cute girl.


The Autopia hillsides flying by at over 5mph.


We wanted a picture with Mickey. The only way to get one these days is to wait in a super awkward line at his house and be escorted into his presence by two...um...interesting Disneyland staff guys.


Dinner of Steak Gumbo (for Kim) and Clam Chowder (for me) in breadbowls. Tasty viddles indeed.


Day 3 - We spend the day at the beach watching surfers, collecting shells, and playing a little frisbee. Kim's ultra-fabulous photography skills even captured this rather awesome shot a Huntington Beach local.


Also day 3, we got to see a pretty amazing sunset. The next picture shows the colors a little better. This picture was taken from the Seal Beach pier.


Surfers and sunsets, a snazzy combination. Right after Kim snagged this shot we headed to Kinda Lahaina in Seal Beach (where we ate last year as a family) for some seafood.


Day 4 - We caught a session at the Newport Beach temple to start our day before heading back to Anaheim for the afternoon.


We spent the evening in Downtown Disney, window shopping a bit. Legoland was particularly cool.


And finally, a nice California Pizza Kitchen dinner to end the week. Quite tasty.
