Continuation of California Adventures.....

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families. I know I sure did. It was so much fun spending time with friends and family.

I still can't believe that Missy and I are home from our wonderful 9-day vacation. The week went so quickly and of course we have lots of stories to tell. You'll have to be sure to read mine and Missy's blogs so that you can get all of the stories that we have to share.

Missy just wrote a blog about our first night on the planes and the trouble with the brakes on the plane that we were in first. I still couldn't believe there was something wrong with the brakes, but God took care of us... He always does.

So, we left with our awesome Mazda 3 rental car from the John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, CA and TRIED to find our hotel in Anaheim. The biggest problem with finding the hotel was the fact that the street addresses that we were looking at did not go in order. So, here we were driving down Katella Ave in Anaheim after midnight and we just keep doing U-turns because we keep thinking that the hotel is supposed to be somewhere in the vicinity. We were both getting aggravated because we had been awake for over 20 hours at this point and we wanted to sleep. So, I just keep doing U-turns to try to figure out where this hotel is. I called the hotel and spoke to a man that barely spoke english and he couldn't answer my questions. I was totally frustrated at this point. I finally decide to just keep driving one way on Katella Ave. and see what is at the other side. We finally see the hotel!! But how do we get to it?? It was sitting behind another building and I ended up doing another round of U-turns to try to get into the hotel parking lot. With over an hour of driving up and down Katella, we finally ended up finding the road that went back to our hotel. So, my lesson for the day was...do not ever trust street addresses! Keep that in mind if you ever visit Anaheim, CA.

Missy and I will continue writing blogs about what happened on our vacation....you'll just have to stay tuned. If you would like to hear specific stories about what happened, please comment and let us know. We can certainly answer your questions in our blogs.
