Honeymoon

For our honeymoon we went downt to California! We stayed at Palm Springs and then went to the beach and Disneyland. For one who has only been to California once, never been to Disneyland or been on a long trip with the love of my life, I was soooo excited and ready to go. Once we got there life was great, but getting there was another story. Has anyone taken the back way other than I-15 to California? The one and only tip I give you...make sure you have a full tank of gas! Once we got on the road we realized that we were definately in the boondocks. We finally ran into a little town called Kelso which used to be a railroad station.

Here is Burke trying to figure out where we are and the where the nearest gas station would be

They were even nice enough to put a sign out for us to so we knew where we were :)

So we finally found a person in the Kelso Depot Visiting Center that told us a gas station was just down the road a little ways. I wish I had a picture...when we got there the gas nosels were chained up and the only gas available was emergency gas and it was $5.00 a gallon. Needless to say we bought one gallon. Anywho, this experience is definatley memorable and we did make it to California safe and sound.

On our way from Palm Springs to Disneyland we ran into a few crazy things that we just laughed at. First there was what looked like a farm (a valley) full of windmills. Then we pulled off to get some breakfast and saw these massive dinasours that we had to get pictures with! It was a very sunny day so I was in a skirt but in a wind channel so there is me holding my skirt down :).

Once we got to Anaheim we went to the beach! Of course we were used to winter weather in Provo so we took advantage of the sun and put our swimming suits on...we got the weirdest looks all day. We made a doliphin in the sand, walked around, and burke tried to trick me into getting in the water (He was successful up to my mid thigh). It was a great time!Now to the happiest place on earth...Disneyland! It was everything I imagined it to be. It was so fun to be there together and go on the rides. There were large lines that day but it was still worth it! My favorite one was Space Mountain. I wanted to go on it again but the line took nearly an hour to get through. We stayed there all day so we could watched the fireworks by the castle. They were incredible and by far the best we had ever seen. Because it was at Christmas time, all the rides were done holiday and there was fake snow at the end of the fireworks! It was so amazing and very magical!
