Disneyland on a whim

So it's a Wednesday night. Emily comes running in the living room and asks, "Wanna drive to Disneyland tomorow?!" Her family was all in California and had an extra room in their hotel. The normal response would be of course not.... I have school, homework and we haven't planned anything. And yet somehow "Heck yes I do!" was all that I could say. We go to school Thursday and get all packed up. We got a late start and didn't end up leaving until about five that night. Still too excited about the trip to realize our own stupidity, we drove all night and pulled into California around 3:30 in the morning. We woke up early to get a full day's worth of Disneyland the next day. We also made a pit stop at the local Walmart to buy the most obnoxious Disneyland shirts we could find. Gotta support our Disneyland!

It was so much fun, riding all of the rides and seeing all the sites. Then around four, Em gets a call saying she needs to be in Las Vegas the next morning for work. So we leave Disneyland around eleven and drive to Vegas in histerics, once again getting there around three. We were both exhausted; I seriously have no idea how we made it to Vegas without falling asleep! Saturday morning Emily went and taught her dance camp in Vegas and I drove the rest of the way back to Provo. Needless to say, in 48 hours we drove 20, and played in Disneyland for 13. Even through all of the tears and stress, this is one of my favorite memories of this semester and I wouldn't trade it for anything!
