This past weekend Josh's work gave us yet another getaway. This one happened to be very close by in Anaheim, CA at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel with tickets to Disneyland/California Adventure. Since Josh and I used to have season passes there we decided to share the trip with some people who have never gone, Calista and Christian Carter, accompanied by daddy Rhett :)
The first day we met up for lunch at Downtown Disney, looked at some shops, then headed to the hotel pool.
The hotel terrace had a great view of California Adventure, along with direct access into the park from the hotel which was nice :)
Later that night Josh and I headed to Cali Adv to attend a work dinner... and who did I run into? Kelsie! I knew she would be working that night but it just so happened that she was starting her set right when we walked out of the dinner, perfect timing :) Josh and I got to hang out with Kels a little and watch her Tron dances.
Then AAA had another surprise for us and we were off to watch World of Color, the big show right now. I was glad we got to see it, it was pretty amazing... but 30 minutes standing still in heels wasn't the best.
The next morning Rhett, Chris, and Calista headed into Disneyland an hour before other guests were allowed in, courtesy of the hotel, and were able to get a majority of the rides in before the crowds! Josh, Chris, and I ate at the Jazz Kitchen for lunch and now Jumbalaya is my new obbsession, it's very good.
In the afternoon I went with the crew into California adventure to make sure they got some good pictures (Rhett forgot a camera... typical guy ;) heehee)
Later that night Josh and I went to Napa Rose, a restaurant located in our hotel that is famous for its amazing food. The raves were correct, we loved it. It was a little pricey, actually a lot pricey, but it was about the only thing we paid for this trip thanks to AAA, so we decided to go for it. We highly recommend it if your in the mood to spend some ca$h!
amazing appetizer :)

We had a great time on our nice little weekend trip and were happy to spend time with family we don't normally get to see. As we were leaving the hotel Josh and I also ran into Brittany Abbot from Santa Maria 3rd Ward!! It really is a small world... yes that's a Disneyland ride ;)
