We had a late night last so we didn't get up til 9:00. We then went down to eat a very non healthy b-fast in the hotel & then Tim took another nap so Schane' & I went back to Disneyland Park. We went back to the Disney Store & went into a bunch of other stores that we didn't go into last night. We ended up being gone for 2 hrs. Schane' was hungry & Tim hadn't called yet so we headed back to the hotel. He was still sleeping. Schane' woke him up & told him it was time to get up & start spending time with her.
After awhile we decided to head down to New Port Beach. None of us had been there before so we were looking forward to it. We got directions from the front office & headed on our way. Tim had me drive because he did all the driving yesterday. That was an experience I won't forget. Mainly it was driving into New Port. If you've ever experienced it you'll know what I'm talking about. I really felt like an outsider with not knowing the rules of the road. The roads are tight together, there are walkers, cyclists,& skateboarders everywhere. The best part is trying to find a parking space. I think it took us almost 20 mins to find a spot. We ended up in an Alberton's parking lot, which clearly states that your car will be towed if you're not shopping. Those weren't the exact words of course but you get the picture. Tim decided that we better go into Alberton's and buy something so we could have proof that we did shop & not just go to the beach.
Finally we had the sand & beautiful ocean in front of us. Schane' was mesmorized. She kept yelling at us to come on. We look at her & tell her that we're right beside her. She just couldn't get to the water fast enough. We spent almost 2 hrs at the beach & would have stayed longer but Tim was getting worried that the car was going to be towed so we left.
Schane' & I played in the water for quite awhile & then went exploring on the rocks. I'm glad I brought our water shoes with us because they came in handy when we decided to go on the rocks. We found a lot of crabs & even some starfish. We walked almost to the end & then I had somebody take our picture. Tim decided to stay on the beach. He doesn't like to get wet so he planted his butt & just watched from afar. At one pt Schane' was out to far so I went back in for her & fell over a rock. I received a nice scrape that hurt for sometime afterwards.
We finally dragged Schane' away from the beach stating that maybe we can come back on Tuesday. Tim was getting worried that we couldn't see the car when we finally came up on it. Then the fun really began. Tim decided to drive back to the hotel. Ummm big mistake, he got lost. We didn't have any maps with us & the more Tim drove the more frustrated he got. Finally I realized that we called the hotel yesterday so he called them & received directions. Thank goodness I was listening to him because he was repeating everything that the front desk was telling him. Everything that he said outloud he did backwards. I'm like weren't you supposed to go down that road? Don't you think that our hotel is that way on this side of the road? Yup, I was right 3 times in a row. Next time I'll be driving.
We had a pretty quiet evening. I took Schane' swimming & we watched some tv in the hotel room & then ate a very late dinner. We are all going to sit down in a bit & plan a strategy for our very first Disney experience together. If you don't know this, both Schane' & Tim have never been to Disneyland. It will be an unbelievable day tomorrow.
