what better way is there to celebrate a one-year anniversary than going to Disneyland and acting like a couple of eight year old kids? we honestly couldn't think up a better way, so that's exactly what we did.
our flight took off from the Provo airport on Sunday, September 27th- the day after our anniversary. "Provo airport?!" you're probably thinking. yes, not only does an airport in Provo in fact exist, but flying out from it's Allegiant airlines made our round-trip tickets $100 each. I just don't think there's anyway to top that, and that price was definitely worth the small and cramped plane and lack of complimentary drinks and pretzels.
we landed in sunny Los Angeles around 10:30 a.m. I'm not going to bore you with our travel fiasco for the next two hours, but let me just say, we were fed up with LA at around 10:36 a.m.. despite all the trouble we had with getting our rental car and the stuffy traffic everywhere, we were on the road and on the hunt for food around one o'clock. our gps search for the nearest In-N-Out Burger led us to the college town of UCLA. I'm sure it was just the food, but both of our moods brightened significantly as soon as we were fed, and we both kept commenting on how much fun this college town looked. there were seriously students everywhere, and they all seemed to be having such a great time!
in need of a nap, we decided to drive to our hotel in Anaheim. Kendrick and I were extra clever when booking our hotels for this vacation. using up all of our accrued Marriott points, a credit for a free night, and Kendrick's employee discount, we ended up paying for only one night ($40), out of the four nights that we'd be in California. of course, doing it this way meant we were in a different hotel every.single.night, but we figured our entire days would be spent at Disneyland or the beach, so as long as we had a place to sleep- it didn't matter!
after some much needed relaxation time, we decided to break out of our hotel room that night and visit Newport Beach. I am so happy that we did, as we got there just in time to watch the gorgeous sunset. Kendrick and I walked along the beach for a while, letting the waves crash against our feet as we excitedly talked about what was in store for the rest of our vacation. we were headed to Disneyland in the morning, and neither of us could hardly wait.
