Evan and I went to California for Memorial Day: it was my first time in this delightful state and i cant wait to go back and see more! Our main reason for going was to go to Disneyland: i LOVE this kind of stuff and now that we are so close Evan thought it was a perfect trip for my first "holiday" on the west coast. Disneyland was great - it was a lot different from Disneyworld in Florida but it was still fun. The first day we went to the California Adventure park. We went on a really cool Monsters Inc ride that looked exactly like the movie, a Little Mermaid ride, and a Toy Story ride that was actually a shooting game too and Evan killed me!! We rode a scary rollercoaster; but we both handled it like champs and we saw the Aladdin Musical. That night we went to a Dodgers game so we could check one off Evan's list (he wants to go to every baseball park in the country) While at the Dodgers game there was a fire with tons of smoke so that was pretty exciting.

The next day we went to the original Disneyland park and got to see traditional Main Street. We rode the Indiana Jones ride, Pirates of the Caribbean ride, Space Mountain, drove some mini cars, Buzz Lightyear ride, Peter Pan ride. We saw a 3D preview of Pirates of the Caribbean and watched a beautiful night time show over the river. It was a great weekend and I loved living out my inner child!!

Evan's uncle let us stay in his place at Long Beach which was much appreciated; I cant wait to go back sometime and spend some time at the beach!! On the way home, we stopped at a GIGANTIC outlet center which was overwhelming but great! I love west coast shopping!!
The next weekend we went to the Tim McGraw concert with some of my co-workers. EVeryone I work with is so nice and outgoing and I'm lucky to be working with people I also like to spend time with outside of work.
Work has been going by so fast and its incredible that I've been here for 5 weeks. Arizona is great; I'm getting tons of sun and just adjusting to a completely new life!
