Disneyland!

We were lucky to score some free tickets to Disneyland back in July, and we had so much fun spending part of our anniversary weekend there. Danny's mom, Sherree, was in town this weekend and told us that she hasn't been to Disneyland in 16 years! She has been wanting to visit the park, so we figured, why not?

We have never seen Disneyland all set-up for one of my favorite holiday's: Halloween.
The foggy fall weather made it feel authentic, and kept the crowds pretty small.

The Haunted Mansion was decked out in Nightmare Before Christmas.



FANTASTIC!

Fancher

California Adventures



We got a great deal on tickets off Craigslist, and were able to take Sherree to see the new California Adventures park for less than the price of just a Disneyland ticket! Score!



California Screamin'

One of Sherree's old favorites was Moments with Mr. Lincoln. Danny and I have never seen the show, so we enjoyed seeing something brand new!

In Innoventions, there is a camera where you take a picture and it shows you what you'll look like when you're old. It gives you the options to be obese, a heavy smoker, and sun damage. Scary!

On the way out, we caught part of the 'Celebrate' parade.... and the crowd.

 

 Overall, the day was a huge success! We made it back to San Diego in time to make a salad and cook some salmon. We watched the Giants game and drank an amazing 2003 Napa Valley Duckhorn Vineyards Cabernet.... yum!

Danny is golden!

I'm so proud of Danny's hard work in these past years at Estancia Resort and Spa. Danny worked up from being a part-time server to nearly managing the entire food and beverage department for a while. Not only does he give his work 150%, but he enjoys doing it! Danny's hard work was just honored as he was named manager of the quarter, and awarded some pretty cool perks as a result.

Outrageous things 2

I hope that foot strap doesn't snap and I have to witness this guy rolling onto the road. On the other hand.... it could be mildly funny (if he didn't get hurt... bad).

6 year olds who wear sports bras to the gym generally don't upset me... until they discover me doing crunches on the exercise ball, and then take the ball when I'm between sets or lunges. Hmm I think I'll report you to the leasing office

Danny conquers the fry clump

 I think I'll pass


Unusual events for the Padres: Late September, first place, rain

 A Dexter/Sunrise 6am alarm clock

At least they eat lunch outside... Notice the address is O.B.

If you're on your way to an interview, and the elevator has a stained oriental rug and no numbers on the buttons. RUN

I have no words.

Obviously this was during the Padres v. Giants series...

Danny's toof

I've never felt so dirty standing next to a 'CAR WASH' sign

 Do not cut this guy off on the freeway

This should be illegal. Actually, I think it is.

Outrageous things part 1

As I went through the pictures on my phone, I decided they needed to be shared... though Barbara has already received most of them as a picture message, the rest of you can enjoy them now.

Is this a math problem or an open sign?

U.S.S. Midway earrings. How do YOU celebrate Veterans Day?

Missing: Gingerbread Shop

Mother fail, or perhaps Jayme's shadow fail

Kev says, "If the shoe fits..... wear it as a floatation device whenever you fly"

Pretty much....

Ornaments year-round. Dannys nightmare, Moms heaven.

Someone drew this on the back of a paper that they turned in to me for work. Really.... really?

 Not sure how they even made it that far...
