California and Disneyland


We stayed with Danielle, Danny, RBJ, and Sonny in Los Angeles for a couple of days before heading on our Cruise. This was part two of the Davenport Family Vacation Extraordinaire or DFVE as we now call it. After the American Girl Doll store we headed over to the Dunlaps for the evening. We bought some pizza which was delicious, but was also $50. L.A. needs a Little Ceasars pizza, $5 bucks for a pepperoni or cheese pizza. What a deal! Little Ceasars pizza is also gross, but five bucks. Again, what a deal! Like they say about pizza and "other" things, "when it's good, it's great! When it's bad, it's still pretty good!"

We all woke up early the next day to head down to Disneyland. Rosabell Jo is awesome! She rode with us and that girl is smart. At two years old, that girl knows how to make deals. The movie in the car stopped playing so she said, "Let's put in another movie, deal?" I told her, "no deal," so she just started Toystory on her iPhone. Totally true story.

Disneyland was packed, the most I have ever seen, but it was a Saturday and it was also decorated for Halloween. This meant super long, suicidal lines. I stood in line at the Huanted Mansion for over an hour and 20 minutes for a ride that sucks. Afterwards I went over to Pirates of the Carribean and tried to fall on Captian Jacks sword, but it was made out of rubber.

The girls had fun with RBJ, and Dani and Danny, Sonny too. They met the princesses and we also saw some villians (since it was Halloween) like the witch in Snow White, Cruella Deville, and the Queen of Harts, Captain Hook, etc. Kaitlyn was sick most of the day with a fever. We either held her or had her in the stroller. She didn't vomit, but it was close after Splash Mountain where she got soaked. Megan and I were fully drenched. Megan was being sassy all day so as punishment she had to ride in the front. Overall, it was a good day.

The next day, just before boarding the ship in the afternoon, we went out for breakfast with the Dunlaps and to hang out at the beach in Santa Monica. Good times, sand, and wet clothes. We also hung out with the ultra conservative folks at the farmers market, great juice there.

Glad we could get in on some DFVE action.
