Kolby's been pretty down in the dumps about hitting his 40's in March. I was racking my brain to come up with a fun and exciting trip to take his mind off of the big, depressing birthday and fill the cracks of his heart with joy and adventure!
I finally came up with an idea! But I didn't tell him! He started telling the kids and his work buddies that I was taking him to Elko, Nevada. When we got to the airport we ran right into this sign!
So we fully intended to go party in Elko, but we got sidetracked and wound up in the happiest place on earth to celebrate the big birthday! I know, we go here a lot, but this time was special. We finally stayed in Disney's Grand Californian Hotel! It was magnificent! Again, the kids were pretty angry.
We enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the Grand Californian's buffet restaurant and then headed out to the parks an hour earlier than the crowd. I've always wanted to do that!!!
I doubt we are ever going to outgrow this place!
I spoiled the birthday boy with treats and let him be in charge of our ride itinerary!
He also got to experience a really special birthday dinner at the Blue Bayou on Pirates of the Caribbean! That was a first for him!
Can you believe after all these many trips we've made to Disney, Kolby has never ridden on King Triton's Carousel?
Check this on off his bucket list!
I think he completely forgot he was another year older!
We always have fun at the parks, but I don't think I will ever be able to stay in another hotel ever again! We were right in the middle of Downtown Disney's night life and could come and go as we pleased! In fact, I got a wee little tummy ache from riding too hard and so I ran up to our room to take a half an hour power nap before heading right back down to the fun! It was life-changing!
Happy, Happy birthday to my one and only!
Here's to another 40 magical years!
