Day One: Disneyland, California Adventure, and Line Dancing (oh my)


For the first day of our 'roadtrip' we wanted to visit Disneyland, and it didn't hurt that Greg has some Disney connections so we were able to get tickets to both theme parks for free. Using Greg's expert knowledge of the theme park layout and how to work the fast pass system, we were able to experience all of the rides we wanted (or didn't want, but I'll get to that in a moment): Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Star Tours, Thunder Mountain, Astro Blasters, Matterhorn, Tower of Terror, Soarin' over California, Swings, California Screamin', Indiana Jones, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, the teacups, the Finding Nemo ride, It's a Small World, and Space Mountain again. [Just for the record, I was not crazy about the idea of going on Tower of Terror, but I did it anyway. Not my favorite part of the day...] But overall, it was a great day at Disneyland/CA Adventure.

After a very satisfying but late dinner at Chipotle, we drove over to meet some of Greg's friends at a line dancing place. Despite our tired feet, Shannon and I ventured out onto the dancefloor and were able to pick up a few of the line dances, though many of them were surprisingly complicated. Greg did in fact attempt one line dance...
