CA with Gary and Claire

17-21 Sept Flew down for Claire’s trip with her dad.

First ride!
The next morning, my roommate Mackensie joined us
Claire was really scared to do space mountain but now she loves it!
Same with Incredicoaster. So proud of her!
Got Bibbidi bobiddy booed!
I will refrain…
We got in the virtual queue for haunted mansion. My favorite bit each year…the gingerbread house!

She almost did guardians…Gary and I both love that ride so we went anyway
Ate at the blue bayou. Fun with a Mickey glow cube
Claire really wanted to see the Queen Mary and I had never been so we spent Friday morning and early afternoon doing that
We did the paranormal tour which I thought was pretty contrived but Claire liked it. Gary pushed me in a wheelchair all over the ship
Now that’s an anchor!
The coolest and scariest bit…the boiler rooms
Made from Lego!
Then we went to my favorite beach El Matador State beach.
We had planned to go to several beaches but the Queen Mary took way longer than we had thought
Claire went looking fur shells and she found so many!
We did catch the sunset!
I wanted to get to Solvang on Friday night but we didn’t get over there until almost 10 so we just went to the hotel and came back Saturday morning.
We had aebleskivers for breakfast and then looked through the shops. Found Ada’s gift shop
We got matching henna tattoos!
Had lunch at my favorite restaurant there. Gary and Claire both loved the town. I’m so glad that we went!
