Yes, that is the name of the Randall Disneyland Adventure of 2013.  It was so, so amazing.  I laughed, I cried, got to be with my family.  It was great.  It was so great, I rarely even stressed about our upcoming move.  After our first night at Disneyland, Sarah was in the car, exhausted. I asked her how the day was, she sighed contentedly and said, "Perfect!"  And, the whole vacation was pretty close to that.

Lodging:  Perfect.  We rented a great house.  

Weather:  Is there a word that means Better than Perfect?

Disneyland crowds:  Pretty perfect....it wasn't too bad at all!  (Plus, they have an app for your phone to tell you how long the lines are to certain rides.  Great idea!)

Beach day:  A tinge cool, and the waves got the best of Derek giving him a huge sand burn on the face that bled A LOT.  But other than that, Perfect.

Food:  Disney food, OK.  The other food we ate, AWESOME.  I especially liked a place called the Pizza Press. Kind of like Subway, but they make you a pizza with your choice of toppings.

Health:  (Because we always get sick on vacation) Derek, sick.  Ben and Sarah, still coughing.  Trish and Libby, healthy.

Anyway, the pictures are worth 1000 words.

Notice who is NOT wearing the Randall T?  Yep Ben.  The Hulk.  He wore it the first day but refused on day 2.  Sigh.

He was all about Buzz Lightyear

My favorite part of this picture is that Libby has the princess arms too.  Did you know that the princesses sign autographs?  And that their autographs are consistent anywhere in the world you meet them?  It is part of their training.  

Nick's girlfriend Drea is an Oregon Duck fan.  So Derek is flashing his Ws anytime he has the chance, all trip.

Breakfast with a the princesses was one of the highlights of the trip.  And the best food we had at Disney.  Except the Pomegranate Lemonade.  Nasty!
