Over the weekend Patrick and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary. We had different plans for this year, but some things got in the way, so we ended up spending the day at Disneyland. Last year we Disneybounded as Joe and Jenny from one of my favorite cartoon shorts, Once Upon a Wintertime, and the…

December 14th marked our 14th wedding anniversary and we spent the day at Disneyland. After years of wanting to Disneybound as Joe and Jenny from the animated segment “Once Upon a Wintertime” from Melody Time, we finally did it!

The other day Patrick and I decided to go to Disneyland for brunch. I know it may seem really weird that my last post and this one involve Pat and I going to amusement parks for dining, but seriously, we have no food right now and it’s been pointless to go to grocery shopping, as we…

Earlier this week Patrick and I went on the Holiday Time tour at Disneyland. Like the Happiest Haunts tour we took in the fall, the Holiday Time tour is also seasonal, limited to the time when the Disneyland Resort is celebrating the holidays. For our tour I wore a pin from a trio I bought…
