The Happiest Place on Earth

From Dec. 17-Dec. 21 Jacob and I took a trip to Disneyland, along with my brother, Mikhail.

The park was all decked out for its 50th anniversary celebration, along with Christmas, so it was pretty neat. We spent our days running from ride to ride, trying to get fast passes to minimize the wait time on some of the more popular rides, eating (I think Mikhail wins an award for the most Churros eaten), watching parade (after parade) and firework shows, or if not watching these events ourselves, then navigating our way through the huge crowds of people while they watched them. We even got to pay a visit to "California" Santa!We also spent one day at Legoland.

We didn't know much about Legoland going there, but it turned out to be quite cool. Everything was made out of legos, which was quite impressive, considering the size of some of the buildings and creations. (Yes, these are all made from legos)
