Who's interested in some cotton candy?

Dang guys. We totally went to Disneyland! It was pretty nice to be able to take a Wednesday off and have a mini-vacation right in the middle of the week, especially since our tickets were free. We went with Tyler and Karina. The park was busier than I thought it would be for a Wednesday, but we didn't have to wait longer than about 40 minutes for a ride. My heavens, though, Disneyland is so expensive, even when you don't have to pay for your ticket. But besides that, it was a good time.Okay, so sad news: Honey, I Shrunk the Audience is gone. It's been replaced by the video that it replaced: Captain EO. I have very mixed feelings about this new 3D show. It was nowhere near as cool as Honey, I Shrunk the Audience, and it was so annoying that people were clapping and hooting every time they saw Michael Jackson, but you can watch it on YouTube. It's really weird, yet kinda bomb at the same time. Here's a clip.

(Note: If Tyler and Karina are reading along, please don't take offense, but this was pretty funny, you can't deny it.) Karina had been wanting some cotton candy all day, so when Tyler bought her some, she couldn't stop eating it. This made him very upset because he wanted her to first check her blood sugar, which led to the following argument:T: I really wish you would put the cotton candy away, sweetie, until you check your blood sugar.
K: Yeah, you're right. (nibble nibble)
T: I'm serious. Stop eating it. Give it to me. (She gives it to him.)
K: Well, let me have it so I can put the tie back on it and put it away.
T: Are you really going to put it away? (She nods.) Okay, here.
K: (Tears into the cotton candy again, looking innocently up at Tyler.)
T: Are you serious? Nina, you just lied. You're going to die.
K: Well, so are you.
T: You're right. Why don't I just go grab 4 cheeseburgers and you can finish off that cotton candy and we can die together.This conversation was almost as good as our experience on Splash Mountain. We had all had a lengthy discussion about seating position in the log versus exposure to water and come to the conclusion that the back and the middle seats get it the worst. So Karina sat in the front, then Ty, then me, and then Davau. We got off the ride and guess who looked like a couple of drowned rats? Karina and Tyler. It was so awesome.

I had been planning on finding all of the characters and taking pictures with them (you better believe it, Allyson!), but we didn't see a whole lot of characters. Fortunately, however, I was able to find and take a picture with sexy Mr. Prince Charming!I know, I know, but hey! We're still newlyweds, okay? I'm entitled! And besides, it was our first trip to Disneyland together. But anyway, it was a fun trip and we all had a great time. I'm so glad we get to spend a lot of time with Tyler and Karina. Now if only Heather's fam, Sarah, Marie, and Jana would move back here....
