The Great California Adventure - Part 2
So we were on the road from Phoenix to Anaheim. No impromptu stops along the way this time, but we did have some incredible scenery.
My parents generously donated some of their Disney Vacation Club points for this part of the trip, so we got to stay at a beautiful hotel - Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel - right on the Disney property in Anaheim.

The View (this was Disney's California Adventure Theme Park):We decided to go grocery shopping before dinner and found ourselves in Mexico again!
Well not really, but we went to Market La Fiesta, and we felt right at home.
Dinner was to be a treat, going out to eat at Downtown Disney. We ended up eating at the Rainforest Cafe after walking around the stores and seeing the full selection of restaurants.
The next day I met Jay's family. . . a lot of Jay's family for Easter Dinner. We had dinner with 15 or so other people, painted eggs, and swapped a lot of family stories. After dinner, Jay's cousin Courtney took us around to show us Long Beach and Huntington Beach. We drove on a racetrack and ate at Fred's Tacos. (I don't have pictures to post for this because Jay was in charge of the digital camera. . . I had the film one).
The next day, we relaxed by the pool and walked around some of the other hotels before embarking on the third leg of our trip - San Diego.
