California Trip 2009 - Day 5

Monday July 27, 2009

We began our day with breakfast at a diner in Mariposa called the Happy Burger Diner. It was so yummy! They serve their ENTIRE menu ALL DAY so we could get whatever we wanted. At 9 AM Carol had waffles, Doug had an omlet (which he said was AMAZING), John had pancakes, Michelle had bacon and eggs while Jared (so true to his nature) had a BURGER! Make sure if you ever stop here at the Happy Burger Diner in Mariposa, you order the 'country potatoes' with any breakfast meal you're getting, they're hash browns that are out of this world!

We began our long drive to Anaheim, and on the way stopped at an amazing Nut store where we picked up our coveted pistachios, yogurt covered almonds and delicious chocolate covered raisins. You drive through many nut plantations going from Mariposa to Anaheim, so it's only fitting to support the local economy!

We finally got to Anaheim in the late afternoon and checked into our condominium, after which Michelle and Carol drove to Von's (a grocery chain) to get some grocery staples for the week. This is also where Michelle bought 3-day Disneyland passes for her and John. We had spaghetti for dinner (Jared's favorite) and we watched the fireworks at Disneyland from our balcony window! It was so awesome. There was only one bedroom so John and Michelle slept on the floor on an air mattress (which was actually quite comfortable!)
