Disneyland Vacation Day One

A few months ago Zach told me that he would have Nov. 11, Veteran's Day off of work and that Nov. 13 was his normal every other Friday off of work. He suggested that he take off the day in between so that we could take a trip somewhere. Immediately both of us thought of Disneyland, but with a little baby we didn't think it would work. But then I ran the idea past Carolyn and she said that they had wanted to go to. I figured that if we went with their family it would be possible. Two people would sit off the rides with Toby and with their son Keyan. The person with the baby wouldn't have to wait alone and the other person would have people to ride with. So last Wednesday Zach, Toby, and I headed down to California. It was a pretty good drive. Toby slept well in the car and for the most part entertained himself. There were a couple of times where he started to get fussy and wanted to either get out of his carseat or eat. Luckily this always happened just before a planned stop. We left at 5 am and stopped in Fillmore to feed Toby. Then we drove down to St. George. We stopped at the Woodmansee's to feed Toby, visit, and take a break. Our next stop was Primm, Nevada for gas and to feed Toby. We stopped one more time to feed Toby, but I have no idea where we were. Despite the fact that we stopped so many times we made great time to Cypress, California where we stayed with my aunt and uncle. Carolyn and Bryant met us there later that night (they had come down earlier to visit Stephen and Heather in Yucca Valley) and so did Stephen and Christopher. That night we visited and then got a good nights sleep before heading to Disneyland. I guess you could say that our night was a little stressful. My aunt and uncle have been remodeling their house and were in the process of getting wood floors put in. Because of this there was hardly any furniture downstairs and everything echoed. We were sleeping in the living room downstairs because we couldn't go into our bedroom until the wood floors were finished the next day. Everytime Toby woke up and cried I was worried that he would wake everyone up because of the echo. Luckily he didn't do to bad and most people claimed that they hadn't heard him.
