The Big Disney Trip '12

I took Griff to SoCal for a little Disney trip. I asked him a while ago what trip he wanted to take this year. I was hoping for Yellowstone or something but he went with Disney. I am nothing if not a dad interested in giving his son everything he possibly can. So, without further ado - some pics:






Driving through Beaver, these pics are a must have.



Arrival at Disneyland.  I think I was about 13 the last time I was here...



Space Mountain - Griff is hilarious.


The Railroad roller coaster in Disney, whatever it's called.  Pretty fun!


Tom Sawyer's Island


Hmmm, not many Disney pics, weird.  I'll see if I have more...on to California Adventure!


After Screamin California Coaster - not sure if he really liked it, then we did it again! :-D






Radiator Springs is awesome!


Luigi's Garage



Killer Red Rock backdrop to Cars Land, unbelievable!

Mater's Tractor Pull


The Real Lightning McQueen!


Disney Ears


Bug's life rides.

Golden Zephyr, I think.

Traverse Rock Climb in Wilderness Explorer's Course.

Tower of Terror - Griff looks truly sick - hahahaha.

Even after 2 days at Disney/California Adventure, beach day was Griff's favorite.  Silly bug.  But the kid can body surf and boogie board, loves the ocean!

LA Temple.

Grand Lux Cafe - Cheese Pizza and ranch - tired of having his pic taken I guess? :-D

Finishing off the trip with Gelato at the Bellagio, SO DANG GOOD!

There might be more, we'll see.  But all in all it was a GREAT trip.  The car ride was easy and we had a great time chit-chatting and playing traveling games and listening to roadtrip music and watching videos.  The time in SoCal was so fun, wish I could do things like this with Griff every week.

Next trip???  Again, hopefully Yellowstone or Yosemite or something cool like that...or Santa Monica, it's all good either way :-)
