It was finally time to leave on our MUCH ANTICIPATED Disney Cruise Trip! We loaded up the car a week after Christmas and headed out! After 4 bathroom breaks which included stopping at a place with Thrifty Ice Cream and gas was $3.74 per gallon we finally made it into Anaheim, California. We got to our hotel and checked in. Within minutes of being there Blake was jumping from bed to bed and went flying into the A/C unit. He had a GIANT bump on his forehead that I thought would be in every picture of our big trip. He was fine and did not need any stitches (a much needed tender mercy for his mother). After that...we headed to Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner. I don't care what anyone says... this is one of my MOST favorite meals. I love the biscuits, chicken and the chicken pot pie, the mashed potatoes, the salad with french dressing, THE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP, the boysenberry pie a la mode.... I love all of it. It reminds me so much of my childhood and especially my Grandma Heywood. She loved the rhubarb. I love all the smells and we had the best service. We made the reservation a few months in advance and placed our orders. So, when we got there they immediately started to bring us food and it did not stop for the next hour. We all were full to the brim and thankful to be in such a great place with all our family. After that Brian and I took the kids to see The Adventures of Tin Tin. Going in to this movie I had no idea what to expect. I did not know if it was a cartoon or what. I only hoped they had comfortable seats because after driving all day and eating a kings feast I was feeling tired.... however, the movie was really good. I loved it and so did the kids. What a great way to start out our Second Trip of a Lifetime!
