This past week Ben & I traveled to Irvine California to spend Thanksgiving with his Dad, Reynolds. We had a great time hanging out & visiting some of the local sites. The weather was warm - at least we thought it was, the locals thought it was cold.

This was taken at the Montage Resort in Laguna Beach. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner here.
On Friday we were trying to decide what to do. "Let's go to Disneyland!" Here are our excited Disneyland faces.
Disneyland was decorated for the holiday season. We were talking and none of us had been to Disneyland in 20 years so it was really fun to experience it again. The lines were really long and the park was packed but we still got to ride most of the rides we wanted to. 
Once it gets dark there was a holiday parade - none of the pictures turned out of it. They also had a fireworks display but we didn't stay for that. Cinderella's castle was all lit up - Ben & I had to pose for a pic in front of it.
On Saturday we went to Balboa Island & Newport Beach. We walked around the island looking at the shops & cute houses. Some of the residents really get into decorating for Christmas - below is a over the top decorated house. We took a small ferry over to Newport Beach & ate lunch on the beach. I made the mistake of feeding french fries to the birds - we were swarmed! Luckily there were a bunch of kids around that took great pleasure in chasing the birds away from us.
On the last night we went out for authentic Korean food which was a first for us.
We had a great time & are happy to be back. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving too!
