Sunny California (NOT!!!)

Well, if you know anything about us Perkins, you know that we love Seattle weather. I mean love. Like happily ever after, prince charming kind of love. So, when we planned our trip to California to visit Disneyland & meet our brand new nephew, we were excited, but hesitant. Sure it would be fun, but it would be California. Sunny, warm, 80 degree California.

Or so we thought! It rained so, so, so hard the whole time we were there! Which would ruin a Disneyland trip for your average joe, but it only made it better for us! The lines were non-existent. Seriously. The wait for Indian Jones was 10 minutes! We walked right on. It was so fun.

I don't get why people idolize California weather so much though. It would be freezing, then hot, then freezing again. No consistency at all. And there was no warning when it came to rainfall. It would be beautiful blue skies and then BOOM--torrential rainfall. Huge, painful bullets of rain. Nothing like the mist that graces our beautiful Seattle skies. I just don't get the appeal.

But, back to our trip. We got to play with the Davies at Disneyland on Thursday & with the Perkins at Disneyland on Friday. Then on Saturday we got to meet Luke, our perfect little nephew. He is the most adorable baby boy I've ever seen (Mikey being the only exception). And so fun to hold.

I'd love to post some pictures, but we only have two that we were able to snap before the rain made dragging our camera around completely impossible. Note the ever attractive rain ponchos. Oh yah. I looked way hot in mine. Nothing says tourist like a trash bag with a head hole and "Disneyland" printed across the back. Sexy stuff.



Also, Mikey lost a tooth. It is so cute. The hole gives him a little bit of a lisp and it is so lovable. What a great kid!

The trip sounds great! We are headed there next month and I'm hoping for gloomy weather myself. We usually try to go during January, February or October, November because crowds are down and it isn't too hot.
