BJ and I went to Disneyland on an adult only trip. It was so fun for it to be just the two of us. It wasn't meant to be only him and I but our cousins little girl got really sick and was admitted to the hospital the day before we were leaving. We missed them but I think that it was good for us to have a trip by ourselves.
BJ and I stayed the night in Vegas at the Orleans. BJ has always wanted to go Bobby Flay's restraunt The Mesa Grille. I made reservations ahead of time and suprised him. It was one of his Christmas presents. Our portions were tiny but fantastic. We bought this chicken taco appetizer. We got 3 little strips of chicken and 3 little tortillas. BJ ate his taco and looked at me and said "that was $5". BJ being the sauce man that he is loved every morsel of food. I got pork tenderloin and not thinking asked for it to be medium like I get my steaks the insides were a little to raw for me to eat but I loved the outsides.
BJ and I got to do alot of things that we don't usually get to do. We watched a parade on main street, we sat on a park bench for 2.5 hours so that we would have a good seat for the fireworks. During the fireworks they had it snow. It was actually bubbles but everyone thought it was so cool.
One of the things we got to do without the kids was the animation studio. They teach you how to draw the differnt Disney characters. We loved it! They made it so simple to understand and as BJ would say...
They made us artist! BJ did really good at Goofy. My best drawing would have to be Piglet. It was relaxing to just be able to sit and take your time.
We also went to the Sorecer's room. Where you answer a bunch of questions from the magic mirror and it tells you which Disney character you are most like.
Yes, that is correct and I am the Evil Witch. It said I was beautiful and sweet on the outside but rotten to the core.
BJ wanted to anwser the questions with some humor. They asked him if he would like to have friends over for dinner or eat his friends for dinner? He said he would rather eat his friends! Yeah, beware when BJ is hungry!
BJ's false answers led him to be Captain Hook because he is captain of his crew and ignores the rules. Accurate?
The Christmas decorations in both parks was amazing to say the least. It was also fun to see the warm clothes that the cast members got to wear as part of their costumes.
Toy Story is our favorite ride hands down. BJ and I rode it several times. We waited at least an hour each time but with no kids it was no big deal. We had a backpack full of our snacks that we carried with us and it was really nice not to have to entertain our kids.
Ok I don't know how well you can see this but BJ and I are in the back on the left. This is the tower of terror. I hate this ride but rode it for BJ. I had major anxiety just waiting to get on the ride because I knew what was coming. I screamed really loud to say the very least. Can you see the girl next to me looking at me and laughing? Yeah she was with the family to the right of us and they were from out of the country. When the ride stop BJ apologized to them for my loud screaming. The 2 girls next to us couldn't stop laughing. They preceded to run up to their family say something turn around and point to me and laugh. Oh yeah obviously I am an American wonder!
Classic picture right?
California Screamin I am such a pansy. This ride made me so sick I could hardly walk when I got off. I was motion sick for hours. It was fun while I was on it but I sure did pay for it after.

We couldn't leave without at least one picture with a character. That pose is called "Thats right were in the cool club".
Thanks to Brindy and Joe for watching our kids.
