My best friend does this with her kids and I loved the idea so much I want to do it with mine. When our kids our 5, 10 and 15 we'd like to take them away somewhere with just mom and dad. We haven't been back to Disneyland since Jocelynn was 2 so decided to take her there. We got a hotel down the street from Disneyland and loved having this alone time with her. I have to admit it was hard leaving Carter. I felt a little bad that he was missing out and we missed him but I kept reminding myself why we were doing this and one night away he would be just fine and he was with Grandma and Grandpa.
We loved this time with her to talk and she had a lot to say. SHe was so happy and excited to get this special time with us. It seems like since she turned 3, since Carter was born she has grown up so quickly, time is passing by quicker. We walked over to eat at a Mexican restaurant.
She got flan for dessert and loved it.
She wanted to take a picture with this statue guy, she thought it was funny and a picture of the sun on the wall.
It was fun snuggling with her in the hotel. The next morning we got up early took the shuttle over to Disneyland. She kept wanting me to tell people that worked there it was her birthday. I asked the worker if they had a button and they did. All day long people were saying Happy Birthday Princess! She loved the attention although she would quietly respond thank you.
We went on everything. It didn't start getting crowded until later.
We had such a fun day. We drove to pick up Carter and he had a great time with Grandma. It made me happy knowing he had such a good time. We got annual passes. Jocelynn is out of Kindergarten at 1130, 1030 on Wednesday so we will be going there a lot this year. This is the last year Carter gets in free also. We are so excited to take Carter there! Such a great memory! I think it was for her also!
