Finally made it!
Welp folks, it took me a little over a year but I finally completed my drive from one coast to the other! I started off my trip last semptember when I left Avalon, New Jersey and last thursday I completed the drive by jumping in the Pacific in Oxnard, CA. Pretty awesome right? Anyhow, it was a great weekend of beaches, warm weather and roller coasters with my younglife kids. There was just something so cool about bringing these high schoolers to disney. The issues in their lives and the things they deal with on a regular basis are constantly stealing pieces of their childhood away from them, so it was nice for just one day to see them be kids again. Disneyland truly is one of the happiest places I have ever been and it was kinda nice for me to feel like a kid again too. I rank the rides of disneyland as follows:
5. Haunted Mansion (come on, it was decorated in Nightmare Before Christmas junk, how cool is that?)
4. Matterhorn Bobsleds (a classic rickety wooden coaster)
3. Indiana Jones (my YL girls can never comprehend how much my generation loves Indiana Jones)
2. Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters (you get little blasters to shoot at stuff with while you ride, i loooooved it)
1. Space Mountain (who doesn’t love rollercoasters in the dark!?!)
So all in all it was a great weekend. I got to jump in the pacific for the first time (from this continent), got to watch my high school friends become kids again, and got to eat some In-n-Out burger along the way. Classic. Anyhow, thanks to those of you who prayed for my trip!! Now enjoy some cali pics!
