Who gets to go to the beach in the WINTER?!? We do! (In a diaper… Weird, but I couldn’t convince him to wear his actual trunks or shorts, so thereyago.)

Sweet faces en queue for Haunted Mansion (spooky!) and Sally’s awesome haircut!

…and Elvis and David Bowie!

More pictures here.

Anyway. This is about one particularly cool interaction with a famous blogger (14,000+ twitter followers can’t be wrong) that I had read for about 2 years now.

Here’s the deal – she makes me laugh out loud (and I do NOT ever say LOL). So, this one day, last week, I twittered to her and she twittered me back. That’s the story and I think it was awesome.

It was, you know, no big deal. But I thought it was rad. And then I thought I’d share it with the whole world.

A screenshot of her blog…

I tweeted to her… She TWEETED ME BACK! The coolest!

Here are the people I love the most (feat. pretzel rolls, coffee, mint chip ice cream cake):

Day one.

We said, “YES!” to Disneyland for the whole year!

The middle of the day was standard and included a NAP.

Then we went to the party and the fam had a present for Peter that they found when they put their tree away. WHALES!

Happy New Year!

We went to Ruby’s on the pier. It was funny because we ate at the counter. That means we sat on STOOLS. Yeah, Peter sat on a backless stool. He only nearly fell off once. Mom and I saved him. Oh man.

Here is the Peter Mac. This is the boat the drops off the oil workers to the rigs in the ocean. We see it almost everytime we are there. It is weird that people work like that out there… in the ocean.

This is Peter and Grammy saying the word BOAT over and over.

Look at this cute bike rider.

We made reservations for Mon Ami Gabi for dinner.

Followed by a walk to the Mirage for the show.

Here’s some shots in the gift shop.

This guitar is signed by all 4 BEATLES.

This rug… Neat buy why? Who’d buy it!?

My favorite exterior on the strip.

Waiting for our car at the valet… we suddenly hear jingle bells… is it Santa?! No…. it’s….

This Girlfriend?? Wife?? Prostitute?? Skank?? Nobody knows who she was… but she was wearing thigh-high fishnets (w/the seam up the back AND bows), sequined shorts, sequined “blazer” and to top it off, at the top of the seam on her upper leg/lower butt she had jingle bells that shook when she walked.


Kurt said she was a hooker. I think he was correct.

They gave us a chocolate coin as we exited the tour. I got dark!

The guys ate theirs!

Then we went outside and walked through the cactus winter wonderland lights. It got prettier and prettier as it got darker outside!
I asked the guy who and how they put these on and take them off. He said that they use a stick with a nail on it. Huh?! Well, as they say, where there’s a will there’s a way.
