With our bonus day in the parks, we started the magic hour
at DCA with Eben and Charlotte doing another series of crazy drops on the
Guardians ride. Johanna and the boys did the Cars Racers several times in a
row. Then we did the 3-D target game, Toy Story Midway Mania, two times as it
was one of our favorites from Wednesday, but we only were able to ride it once.
We then went over to Disneyland to give Splash Mountain another chance. It
worked – we all rode the ride this time and it went smoothly and was fun. Eben
went back to the hotel to check out while the kids and I did a few more rides.
Then Eben came back, we rode the Matterhorn and Space Mountain, did one last
Astro Blaster, and then bid adieu to the parks and headed 30 minutes away to
Laguna Beach to recover.
Our hotel was small and quaint and had a really neat patio
area between our room and the pool. It was a great spot to relax in the sun.
Then we headed down to the beach and walked alongside it for a couple miles into
town for a delicious Mexican dinner. We went out to the beach to watch the
serene sunset while examining tidal pools. After tucking the kids in, Eben and
I sat out on the terrace and enjoyed the fresh ocean area while the sky turned
from deep purple to black and stars came out.
