Weekend Adventures!

Wow, weekend updates pushed back to Wednesday?? What is this nonsense??

Warning: another picture heavy post haha

On Saturday Josh and I went to Oakland to see the Disney Christmas Carol Train Tour! We heard about it on the news, and it was free, so we thought "why not?!" It was basically 4 huge Amtrak train cars all renovated with high tech stuff that displayed the behind the scenes stuff of the new Christmas Carol Movie.

There was a huge line, as if we were actually at Disneyland...

... but they had entertainment!

I could never ride a unicycle, let alone juggle while riding one

Can you tell how excited Josh is to be there? haha

Talent!

Oakland Bay, looking towards SF

They even had a blow up movie theater and fake snow! (my inner child was so excited)

The Train!

Jim Carrey as Scrooge!

Original Christmas Carol Book!

Costumes that the animation people used to draw from.

One whole train car had huge flat screens lining it with pictures from the movie

Face replicas!

Model of Big Ben

More Models

Scrooge's Office Model

The actors would wear this suit in order for the computers to record their movements

And have funny dots put all over their faces

Another car was covered all over with screens of the making of the film

And of course Christmas isn't complete without a fireplace! This whole train car smelled like Gingerbread, it was so neat!!

Christmas Dinner Feast

Some lady took our picture, and FAILED.

Me with the Train!

Since we were going to drive by IKEA on the way back home I had to make Josh stop :) They were having the 50% off sale, so I got a really cute picture frame with prints in it for the half bath in our new house, along with some cereal bowls, a wisk, and a new bathroom cup.
Then we drove back home and Josh decided we should go on a date!! So we went to my favorite Italian restaurant in Santa Rosa, and then went to the movies to see The Hangover (which was pretty funny!)!
We haven't been on a date night in forever, so it was really fun :)

After the movies I decided I wanted dip n dots, and of course McD's sells them, so we went to the drive through to find out that the McD's near our house doesn't have them, wtf?? So we just went home and had chocolate milk instead haha.

Sunday we went on all of our errands early because it was supposed to be 104 out, and then we came home and ate lunch and then layed by the pool with my friend Stephanie for a little while. After that we came back to the house, took showers, and lounged around for a while.

The Disney Train Tour is making 40 stops total so if it's in a town near you I suggest going to see it! It's not AMAZING, but it was good free entertainment to get out of the house :)

Hope everyone else had a great weekend!
