Vacation part 1

We have a fund at the bank that we put into monthly for vacations. We were saving up to go to Disneyland with my sister. She couldn't go anymore so Jordan and I decided to go, just the two of us!!! I have been struggling a lot lately. Work has been overwhelmingly hard teaching two grades. On top of that, Jordan lost his job (twice) which puts a lot of stress on me. Anyway, Jordan and I decided (with some convincing of a friend) to use that money and go on a vacation to heal our hearts. The vacation definitely was what I needed!!

We found some family and friends to help babysit our two kids; yes, we went to Disneyland without our kids! 😂 I was so excited to go that I talked Jordan into leaving early. We left Saturday around 4 to Mesquite. The drive went by pretty fast. We both were so excited to be on our vacation. Sunday morning, we decided to go to Las Vegas before we finished the drive to California. We walked lots of miles within a few hours. It was cool to see some of the stuff. We have to go back there with someone  that knows Vegas. We had no idea where things were and our feet suffered because of it. We then headed back to the car to finish the drive. We were so lucky that we left that day because there was a shooting there that night. It is such a sad thought that we probably saw someone who died or got hurt from the shooting. It makes me so sad to think that someone would do that. My heart goes out to the families who lost a loved one.

The drive from Vegas to Aneheim is supposed to be four hours. It took us six hours to get there. The traffic was terrible!! Never drive from Vegas to CA on a Sunday!!!!! We were not warned about the terrible traffic that happened near Primm. That drive was long. We tried talking, listening to all types of music, and listening to books on tape. Nothing helped that drive! I don't think we will ever drive there again. We will just make sure that we have enough saved up to fly from now on!

We finally arrived to our hotel Sunday night!!! We went to a pizza place and waited in the longest line for it. Once we ate our dinner, I was back to my happy self. I was in Disneyland!!!!!!!!! We decided to walk to Downtown Disney and look at everything. It was so much fun!!!  The next few days were the best; I'll have to write about them on another day.

I was going to add some pictures, but I don't know how to on my phone. I'll have to try to add them later once someone shows me how😁
