Sophia's 1st Disneyland Trip!

We totally rocked Disneyland. Sophia had a blast for her first trip. That is the short of it.  The longer version is we arrived around 10 am, sans Isabella who stayed with Corina (thank god!), and met up with various other parts of our 8 person group.

We had Sophia ,3, 2 10 year olds, 1 newlywed, Cyrus, me & my mom- we spanned a lot of ages and interests.  I managed to get everyone to write down their top 2 rides & miraculously we managed to cover all the lists with smiles and no tears!  It was like an aria- everyone picked up their instruments at the proper time & played them perfectly!

A huge thank you to my mom, husband and my brother (the newlywed) for managing to get fast passes & standing in too many lines for the kids.

What we rode: 
Carousel
Peter Pan
Casey Jr. Train
Tea Cups
Tom Sawyer island
Winnie the Pooh
Indiana Jones
The Jungle Cruise
Splash Mountain
Astroblasters
It’s a Small World
Autopia
Symphony Swings
Ariel's Grotto
Ferris Wheel
Toystory Mania
California Screaming
California Screaming (yeah, we went twice in a row with the extra fastpasses we had)

Downtown

Well I am missing my family dearly here on this busy business trip.  I did get to spend a few moments outside of work though to pop down to NYC for a day on Sunday.  I didnt have a decent camera but it didnt stop me from taking a few pictures to help me remeber. I walked from Grand Central all the way to the north end of the park! It was a nice walk and I saw a few things along the way... Still missing Sophia and Jewels dearly though, wish they were here.  I met up with Kenji for Japan Day in central park and had tasty Korean for dinner.  Train down was nice.  Easy trip from "the middle of the forrest (ie fishkill)" to NYC.
