Do you want to rent that by the hour?

Disneyland was just awesome...well, let me start at the beginning.

The plan was to leave on Tue morning and head straight for the big D. Well, our friends and their kids decided to take off on Mon night and just grab a cheap room down the road from the actual hotel that we would be staying at. This was to avoid having to drive for 4+ hours then go to D. Beck and I thought that they had a pretty good idea. We decided to pick up and take off as well. The plan was to just stay at a Motel 6 about 2 miles from the Hampton Inn. So...we roll up and just the area gives off the feeling of "don't leave anything in your car at night". To top that off there are two cop cars in front of the office and they are taking someone away in handcuffs (not the furry fun kind). HINT HINT! It was 2130 and we were tired so we didn't take the hint.

We walk into our room and the smell of mildew and nastiness hits us in the face. We just stepped around the stains in the carpet while there. Man, can you say el DUMPO? Rent that by the hour? Yeah. We didn't even let Ashlee take off her socks. We finally get ready for bed and the one that I get into has a huge dip right in the middle. Reluctantly, I look under the bed to find the entire frame of the box springs shattered. Oh well, we are only trying to get a few hours of sleep, right? Beck was so pissed about the whole thing and to top it off Ashlee was hyper and just wanted to jump around in the bed for about 2 hours before finally falling to sleep. If it was just Beck and I we would have found a parking lot and just slept in the damn car. This was by far the absolute worst place that I had EVER stayed at! Just terrible. The next morning we find out that our friends room was even worse than ours and didn't even have a working AC. Also. come to find out, the cops ended up being there on three different occasions that night not to mention the cop just sitting in the lot when we left in the morning.

The next morning we checked into the Hampton Inn and life was grand. I felt like a king! WOO WOO. Clean and nice. Even got free breakfast every morning! There isn't much else to say about the good old Hampton Inn except that is where we will be staying when the need for a hotel arrises in the future.

Disneyland was a blast as well. We had the best time there and really had fun watching Ashlee ride all the rides (the ones she could). It rained a couple of the days we were there so that was great since it scared everyone off. We just walked on to rides without even having to wait. After the couple rainy days the skies cleared up and the temp was in the low 70's which made for PERFECT Dinneyland weather.

It really was a blast my friends. Really. I am sure that I will get some pictures of Ashlee up sometime in the next 3 years.

Sorry to talk about the shitty motel so much but it really was that bad which made the rest of our trip that much better.

ST out.
