As I mentioned in my previous post, I went with a group of friends to California to celebrate Janay’s birthday a couple weeks ago. After going to Disneyland we stuck around one more day to relax at the beach, walk around the Newport area, and then grab some dinner at the ‘Rusty Pelican’. Fun times and good memories! Below are a few more photos from the trip…also, click here for even more!

And here is one more for you…a little treat. Obviously I didn’t take this one…to busy being buried, not everyone can pull off this kind of modeling ;o)

After spending the weekend in Rocky Point, Mexico with Love God Love People I arrived home Sunday around five, and about an hour later was in a car driving to California. By the time we arrived at our destination in Newport it was around one in the morning. I was tired to say the least, but it was all worth it because I was lucky enough to be with some great friends calibrating Janay’s 24th birthday! Once we arrived the first night we settled in and tried to get some sleep before waking up early for disneyland. Now I have to say that I know Janay was pretty excited about going to Disneyland for her birthday, but I was right there with her in the anticipation. It’s been a good 12 years or so since I’ve hung out with Mickey on his turf.

We woke up Monday morning just a little later than we planned but still managed to fill up on donuts and coffee prior to heading out to the happiest place on earth. Once we arrived we didn’t waste any time.  By noon we had gone on splash mountain twice, Indiana Jones, Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean and a couple others. Throughout the day we continued to have a blast, our adventures included: taking ridiculous pictures, spinning the propeller top of a little boys cap in front of us, me trying to take a picture of a guy’s Nintendo jacket and proceeding to walk directly into a poll (then later having two encore performances of the same nature), passing time in lines by having sword fights with cat’s tail brush, and a handful of other random happenings.

The day proved to be a great one! After all of the rides (my favorites being Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain) we grabbed some realestate in front of the castle and enjoyed a great fireworks show. It was a blast being able to have such a fun filled laid back day, and especially one that is a celebration for such a good friend. And, it can’t go without mentioning that I throughougly enjoyed our multiple renditions of happy birthday to Janay…in lines, at lunch, pretty much whereever we could we made sure she didn’t forget it was her birthday!

Like I said it was a great day…here are some more pictures from our time at Disneyland.

You may notice the blog looks a little different. Along with new rotating headers, scrolling comment boxes, and an entirely redesigned format, it now allows me to post larger images as well! This is all possible because a of my friend, and design guru, Britt Smiley. Britt does great work and has a ton of talent. I love what she has done on my blog and encourage you to check out her site by clicking on the screen-shot below! Thanks Britt!
