Big Sur, DisneyLand - Transitions: Life with Kiana- JournalHome.com

9/7/2006 - Big Sur, DisneyLand

Posted in Unspecified

Labor Day weekend was a blast. We went camping at Big Sur with about a couple dozen other people and then headed down to Anaheim to Disneyland - Kiana's first official trip. She was in utero when we went for New Year's 2005, but we didn't know it at the time. Big Sur was colder than we thought it would be. Poor Gary froze in his 11 year old stuff sack and got sick when we went to LA. But we had a good time and it was really nice to see some people who I hadn't seen since high school. The stars still seem to be aligned for me to run into old acquaintances. Disneyland was scorching - 100F. I don't ever remember visiting Disneyland when it was that hot before. Gary had to trudge through the park with a fever and deal with the heat. But he was a trooper and we managed to have a wonderful time. Kiana loved the Enchanted Tiki Room and it was exciting to see her ooh and ahh and bounce up and down to the music. Plus it was nice and cool in there so it was a good break. I can't wait to go back again when Kiana can truly run around and when it is not so hot. It is amazing to see her expressions when she goes on the rides. She gets so happy and exuberant. It warms my heart to see her so happy.
