Goodbye Disney

If I said we were glad to be going home, I would be lying… The weather was gorgeous and we all LOVED Disneyland and California Adventure!!! Not to mention, the weather back at home was miserable…

We all slept in, packing was not nearly as speedy or enthusiastic as unpacking when we arrived, and we got stuck in LA traffic for 2 HOURS on the way north! Ugh!

Thankfully the weather was better on the way home. At least for the most part. Just as we were about to head up the Grapevine, we hit this wall of cloud. It was so thick and sudden that we thought it was smoke! After about 5 minutes the temperature dropped from 71 to 51 degrees and the clouds didn’t clear again until Sacramento… It was bizarre!

Disney Day Eight 01 We could see it in the distance…

Disney Day Eight 02

Good Bye sunny blue skies! We’ll miss you!!!

Disney Day Eight 03

The sunset was spectacular!

But we were so tired that Chris decided to spend the night when we stopped for supper in Redding. Yay!!!

After a good night’s sleep and a hearty motel breakfast (much better than most), we hit the road and arrived in Portland to pick up Betsy. Mom and Dad fed us supper and we got home around 10pm!

We had an amazing time! We are thankful for the time together and great memories that were made! And we’re already planning our next trip to see all the new stuff coming to California Adventure… :o)
