Nov. 8th - 1st Anniversary Trip: Day 3 - California Adventure

Monday dawned a very exciting day ... it was our anniversary!!!!  We could hardly believe it had already been a year since our magical wedding day.  John decided to give me my present in the morning.  The traditional gift for the first anniversary is paper.  John decided to go "green" and bought me a Kindle.  I was so excited and I love it so much!!!


Good job hun!

We decided to spend a few hours in California Adventure.  That park is never usually too busy, but it's apparently practically empty on Monday morning's in November.


After eating lunch and the Lucky Fortune Cookie we checked out our fortunes.


Since we had never been on Toy Story Mania we decided today would be the perfect day to try it out.  John demolished my score but I did pretty good (for me)!







Mmmmmm ... churros!


After going on Soarin' Over California, we decided to head back to the hotel to hang out.  It was a beautiful day out:


John (being the fish that he is) decided he wanted to go swimming.  The pools were heated, but it was COLD outside.  I wasn't about to go in the water.  Instead, I hung out in a comfy lounge chair with my Kindle.


Eventually John started to even get cold so he chilled in the jacuzzi for a bit.


Once night fell we got all spiffed up for our anniversary dinnner.  Right before we left I gave John his present ... concert tickets!


We had made reservations for the 5-star restaurant in the Grand Californian called the Napa Rose.  It's very fancy-schmancy.  We'd never been but had heard it was amazing.  Everything we'd heard was right!!

Pork, Macaroni and Cheese, beef

And we also got a cute little box of truffles as a gift.


The day was fun, the meal was outstanding, and the company was amazing ... couldn't have asked for a better anniversary!
