Celebrating 30 at Club 33

30 years of going to Disneyland, and there WAS only one part of the park that I hadn't explored. The semi-secret, extremely private Club 33. Located upstairs in New Orleans Square, this restaurant is open by exclusive invitation only. To celebrate my 30th Birthday, my dad found a way to get us in. We had an amazing time. We tried to take pictures of everything. Here are some of the highlights...













Once you are allowed in the door (you have to give your name over the intercom before you can even enter), a beautiful glass elevator takes you upstairs to the restaurant.















Club 33 was designed and built by Walt Disney to be his private apartment and dining area. There are wonderful historic relics all over.

To celebrate my big 3-0, I had to order my specialty drink of choice since I was 7. Shirley Temple of course.

























Isaiah was so good the entire day and at the restaurant. There was fine china and crystal everyone, so I was a little nervous. He did great (with some fun breaks with Ma of course).
















You may be wondering what this beautiful dessert and this fascinating toilet have in common. They both show how serious Club 33 works to make your experience unique. The toilet was actually kinda weird. Cool, but weird.

All in all, my 30th birthday was the best one yet. What better place to celebrate than Disneyland, and what better people to be with than my fam. A great kick off to what is looking to be a great decade.

San Francisco Treat

We spent the last three days in San Francisco with Josh's student leadership class. The school year starts next week, so this was their summer retreat to help them bond and prepare for the year. We took Isaiah, and what an awesome adventure that turned out to be. Here are some of the highlights...

There were 24 students, 4 parent chaperones, 2 kids (including Isaiah), and 2 teachers that piled on bikes and made our way across the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a gorgeous day, and a challenging but fun bike ride.

Josh rode with Isaiah on the back of his bike. Isaiah's helmet was too big and practically covered his face (as you can see in the pic), so he cried most of the ride. He's a trooper for sure.

Isaiah had a blast riding on BART from Pleasanton into San Francisco. I think he just enjoyed being out of a car seat and yet still going somewhere. He's already a true urbanite.

Isaiah and I braved jumping on the cable car in the middle of its route together. Our friend Dorina and her baby Meilani rode at the same time (with the same baby carrier on), so the cable car driver called us kangaroo mamas. It became our little nickname for ourselves. Aren't we the coolest?

After a long day in the city, Meilani and Isaiah crash hard. We had quite the adventure in the city lugging around two babies and all of their gear. We defnitely made some wonderful memories. Lets just say the day had the makings of a future Hollywood movie in it. "Babes in San Fran Land" "Adventures in momsitting" "Isaiah Tosland's Day Off" (Ok, I give up)
