Anna had a blast at California Adventure on Saturday. Actually, as soon as we got into the hotel, she was so enthralled by the idea of being on vacation, and being in a hotel room that she didn’t want to go into the park at first. Tara was all ready to go, grabbing her shoes and standing by the door. By the time we finally had everyone ready to move out, we could tell it was going to be a short day. Tara slept 20 minutes in the car and would not nap in the room, and Anna went without a nap entirely, but our one objective was dinner with the Princesses. We had time for one short ride before dinner. Anna was very excited about seeing all the princesses at dinner; as we sat down she could see them roaming around and talking to people.

Our first visit was from Ariel, who didn’t talk (in character) and only stopped for a short while, but left Tara with a lipstick smooch on her forehead. Snow White was very friendly and chatty, and got Anna to open up a little bit. Cinderella was very charmed by Tara, who started waving to her immediately, and when asked if she was having a good time, started nodding emphatically. Dinner was good, so for the entertainment value I consider it money well spent.

Today, Anna and Jennifer are at Disneyland, and Tara just woke up from her morning nap, so I’ll be going over to meet them shortly.

Update: Shortly after I arrived at the park and met up with Jennifer and Anna, they went off to hear storytime while Tara and I walked around in a zigzag-like manner for many minutes before a ride in the stroller followed. We met up again, and Anna started to feel a little nauseous, probably as a result of her diet of juice and goldfish crackers. We all went back to the hotel for lunch and Tara’s nap. Anna still doesn’t seem to be inclined to nap, and one of us will likely head back to the park shortly.

The hotel seems to have T-Mo wireless broadband, which is working pretty well, so I’ll start processing and uploading the rest of the photos from this morning.
