USS Midway

We took a one day trip down to San Diego to visit the USS Midway. It is a ship that Brian's dad had been assigned to during his Navy career. I was surprised at how memories came to me of visiting the ships my dad was assigned to. Kristy was loving how maze like it was, every door you went through gave a new direction to go to make you feel lost: Go down the stairs, walk in what feels like a circle and go up stairs that look the same only to find yourself in a new space. It was very fun. Took just a few pics. Enjoy.

Disneyland

We took a day and went down to Disneyland. We tried to do the things we weren't able to do the last few times we had gone. We went on a few rides we had bypassed previously, we watched the parades, rode the train around the park and just tried to enjoy our last visit for a while. So here are a few pics and stories from the events of the day. Enjoy.

Meeting the characters

Kristy had a blast at disneyland. The one thing we did this time that we hadnt before is went to see as many characters as possible. The two that had the largest impact on the day were Mickey and Jessie (from Toy Story).
When Kristy met with Mickey Mouse she told him "I'm sorry Mickey" when asked why she told him because she was not happy last time she visited him at his house. He gave her a hug and eased her conscious that it was ok.
Later in the day she was waiting for Woody to come out to visit and Jessie came out instead. Jessie sat down to watch the show with the kids and visited with the kids for a few minutes. Kristy ran back and forth telling us what Jessie was saying. Kristy supplied that Jessie was very hungry and Kristy wanted to get her some food or drink. Kristy was then lucky enough to sit on Jessies lap for the first half of the show. Kristy has yet to learn the courtesies of watching a performance and was up and down enough times to thoroughly embarass us. It wasnt too bad until she started talking to Miss Kris during the end of the performance. Miss Kris was able to get back to the show by inviting Kristy to sit on the stage with them.... when it was all over she ran over to us and said, "I had a good day", which of course translates to "that made my day!".
When she talked to Ariel they talked about Ariels movie and fish. They even made fish faces at eachother. Mary Poppins and Woody were very brief interaction, long enough only to get the pictures.
It was a very fun day, we watched the lights parade and then went to do one more thing, but before we could make it happen Kristy passed out. Whe was exhausted and only wanted to sleep.
