Spontaneity

2 weeks ago we went to Disneyland on a total whim!

{A little background info: we told the girl's for Christmas that we would go to Disneyland. In fact, we really planned on going in December. BUT, every time we looked at the calendar there was always something going on! Even when we would look ahead on the calendar, we always ran into a problem. I thought we were never going to make it there and I had postponed even thinking about it any time soon!}

Now here comes the spontaneity.

So after we got home from church, Devin said "why don't we go to Disneyland today?" (as in 2 hours)

It sounded C.R.A.Z.Y. We had absolutely nothing packed, planned, no tickets, hotel...nada, but we decided that if we didn't just GO, we'd never make it there! Less than 2 hours later, we were packed and out the door!

We bought tickets, reserved a hotel (and called our friends to tell them we were coming to stay with them in Vegas), filled up the car with gas and hit the road!

No exaggerating: Beautiful weather. Short lines. Great drive. Happy kids. Forever memories.

BEST TRIP!

To be honest, I don't think we could have planned it any better! It was kind of a meant-to-be trip!

Cruella Deville was SO funny! (or really so rude)

She played her part perfectly. Even Devin was intimidated by her!

This is how a 'real princess' travels around Disneyland

Maybe a little spontaneity in life is a good thing!!
