It turns out I only worked 3 days last week—I took Friday off to go to Disneyland with Ben! He had gone down to Orange County to visit his dad for the 4th and I drove down there Thursday night so that we could drive to the park together and save on parking and not both have to worry about traffic.

We spent like 12 hours there and it was pretty hot and humid all day. Once it got later, the weather was more tolerable, although it then turned a bit chilly at night—especially since I hadn’t brought any sort of jacket.

We did a few Fast Passes so didn’t have to wait in a TON of lines (though we did wait in the long-ass Nemo line), and one of the best moments came during the line for Space Mountain when this whole HUGE family somehow managed to cut in front of us. I’m not even sure when they did it—one moment they weren’t there, and the next minute there were 3 of them, and then the next, there were 5, and suddenly mom and dad and two sisters and aunt and grandma were all in front of us. That of course wasn’t the best moment—the best was when a bunch of people complained to the employee standing nearby and he pulled the whole family aside and wouldn’t let them go because he was told by several people that they cut. This family was quite adamant that they did not cut, but everyone we saw joining them in line came from farther back, and they certainly weren’t there at the beginning, because Ben and I had been talking to the people directly ahead of us, and then suddenly, there was a group of people in between us!

We slept in a bit on Saturday morning since we were tired from all the walking and sun and stuff and then headed to the beach for a bit before he had to return to SB to possibly work. The beach was nice, although a little overcast, and afterward we went to the pool by his dad’s place for a bit before changing into some clothes, packing up our cars, and heading back to SB.

Overall it was a very nice weekend—his dad was very nice and I think liked me. The best thing is, that since I had Wednesday off and then Friday, that yesterday felt like Sunday. The fact that today was yet another day without work was like an added bonus. Tomorrow it is back to work of course, but this Sunday Evening is still young, so I shall enjoy it a little bit more.
