Knott’s Berry

We spent our final day of vacation at Knott’s Berry Farm.  I have never been before and I was excited to check it out. After 3 days in Disneyland, the small crowds at Knott’s Berry was soothing.  It was outstanding that we didn’t have to wait in long lines anymore!  The highlight of the day was definitely when Michael was able to devour some Dippin’ Dots.  It was one of the main objectives of our trip, after all.

It was still hot outside but the scarcity of crowds made for a really great conclusion to our trip.  There was a hefty portion of the park that we couldn't do since Eva is too small, but there was an entire section called Camp Snoopy that was filled with kid rides.  We spent most of the day there and Eva loved it.  By Knott’s day, my stomach couldn't handle many of the rides.  I was nauseated and had a piercing headache most of the day.  Michael had to be the champion and ride everything with Eva while I sat in the shade and tried not to pass out.  I suddenly understood why my grandma never rode on anything at Disneyland except It’s a Small World.  I’m living in that reality now.  

After a day of fun we were off to the airport for a late flight.  Eva was wearing a diaper so we could just get home and go straight to bed.  Near the end of the flight she started wiggling in her seat and I could tell she really needed to go to the bathroom.  The fasten seat belt sign was on so we couldn’t leave our seats.  I told Eva she would just need to pee in her diaper.  She agreed and zoned out with a Ruprecht look on her face while she relieved herself.  Then she went back to her game.  I laughed silently. 

We didn’t arrive home until nearly 2 AM and dropped into our beds in exhaustion.

I’m very glad that we took the time to have a real vacation together.  It was such a wonderful trip for us and I know we will look back fondly at our memories.

Let’s do it again sometime!
