Birthdays, beaches, and balboa bars, oh my!

>> Tuesday, August 4, 2009

So for Alea's birthday we decided to hop a plane to Orange County for the weekend. There's the beach, ferris wheel rides and balboa (ice cream) bars, and Disneyland too. So much to do, so little time! We started off by parking at our favorite off airport site, the Parking Spot! We were a little late getting to the airport so Jason the shuttle driver let me drive since I know the best shortcuts.
I can't understand why everyone was so scared after all Weston flew the plane last time we went to San Diego, and I wasn't scared....

I got us to the airport safely and on time.

After getting off the plane we were famished and found this great little place that promised to get you in and out since the kids were in a hurry to get to the beach. The food was really good too! After eating we drove to Huntington Beach where the local surfers hang out. We followed a couple of them to see where the great surfing spots are located and the best place to catch a wave or two. Once we got to the beach the waves were calling...
and so were the authorities...
apparently California law prohibits camouflage sun bathing...
Ask any kid where the happiest place on earth is and the answer... well that's debatable. Some kids I know may just have a different answer then most!

Jedi in training...

Alea was picked from the audience to fight the dark side, partially because it was her birthday, but mostly because of her light saber skills and previous experience fighting the dark side. If you remember in the prequel to the prequel, episode 1/2, she previously defeated Darth Vador and saved the Empire, but i digress...

Darth Maul ran away like a screaming little girl....
I'll get you next time Jedi Alea!

Car rental and hotel... an arm

Disneyland park tickets...a leg

The look on their faces.... priceless!

After stopping, Weston screamed "THAT WAS AWESOME!"
Want to go again?
"NO WAY!"
