we just back from my first big business convention. we took all fourty of our restaurant proprietors and their families to disneyland. i was so stressed out because i had to coordinate everything from EVERY ONE'S airfare (over 120 people) to hotel reservations to shuttling the entire crew around anaheim. but as my dad told me before i left for the trip "things are always worse in your head". he was right. everything went swimmingly. the weather was perfect and the resort was amazing. everyone had three-day dineyland passes, so after the the morning meetings we all just walked over to the happiest place on earth. it was great!
this was after the first day. one of the proprietors passed me right after this shot was taken and said "that is the first time i have seen you smile today!" (funny how nemo can do that to a girl!) i guess i need to work on hiding my stress level! luckily, after the first day, i relaxed and put a big smile on my face.
this was our first time being at disneyland at nighttime! it was so fun. we were able to go on the TWO rides i could actaully go on a bunch of times because everyone was watching the fireworks show. please dont ask me why i bring my huge purse with me to places like this. craig is such a trooper to hold it for me.
the disney castle was a brilliant purple! i loved it! you can kinda see it in the background.
this is a better picture of it.
ok. i guess i really liked the purple castle. the guy that took this picture couldnt handle the fact that we wanted the flash off. it was really hard for him.
hahaha. speaking of having a hard time, craig did not want to put this hat on. he was very paranoid of "little-kid-lice". bless his soul. this represents one of the few rides we rode (one doesnt realize how limiting pregnancy can be until one travels to an amusement park and cannot ride anything.) we stood in line for one hour for the alice in wonderland ride. kinda pathetic.
this is us, being depressed because we couldnt ride anything.
i was so excited when ariel came down the parade line. craig was disturbed by the body suit ariel was wearing that made her look very white and very naked.
this is my souvenir from the trip. i have always wanted a charm for my phone, and now i have a light-up ariel one. craig is a little bit embarrassed by it. to be fair to him, ariel is kinda big.
as a final treat of the trip, i spotted PAULY SHORE in LAX. he was wearing sunglasses (the security lady asked him to take them off) and tried to cut the massive security line. he was wearing a low cut v-neck shirt ( who said that this was the new mantrend? i loathe it) with chest hair galore coming out of it. i didnt want to give him the satisfaction of taking his picture (i have heard that he isnt the nicest, most down to earth kinda guy) so this is the best i could do.
