We returned yesterday from our short trip to So. Cal. It was great fun, but too short! We visited with family and ate tons of great food! The first day we had some awesome Jamaican food including curry crab, breadfruit, plantain, ackee and rice & peas. I ate so much crab this past weekend!

One of the highlights of the trip was a visit to Disneyland. It was great because there weren’t many people at the park the day we went. School just started in California, so the lines were very short. Most were only a few minutes wait, and Pirates of the Caribbean and It’s a Small World had no line at all. The only downsides to the trip were that it was a *hot* day (Pirates was so nice because it was a chance to cool off) and several of the attractions were being renovated for next year’s 50th anniversary celebration. The castle, for instance, was covered with a big blue tarp. Luckily, my friend Mikey is a Disney fanatic and warned us beforehand, so we weren’t shocked. All-in-all, we had a great time at Disneyland and are looking forward to going back. As the kids grow older, they will enjoy it more and more too!
