d and Zhouyi decided to take their kids (Meila and Euan) on a trip to Disneyland and Seaworld and invited us to come along. Since we make it a policy to never turn down an invitation to Disneyland, we readily agreed to join them. We flew to LAX on March 26 and rented a minivan large enough for all of us to travel together. d had reserved an airbnb near Disneyland for us to use as a home base. It was only a two mile walk from the venue to Disneyland so the first day we decided to walk to avoid the hassle and expense of parking at Disneyland. That decision turned out to be a mistake. After walking 4 miles round trip to the park with two little kids and walking another 6 miles in the park we were completely worn out by the end of the day. The second day we drove to the parking lot.

| Dinner at il Fornaio Italian restaurant in Del Mar, CA |
On the way back home after our Seaworld day we stopped for dinner at il Fornaio, an Italian restaurant in Del Mar. The restaurant has a beautiful view of the ocean and we were there at sunset so we had a magical experience that combined a great dinner and a great view.
The next day we flew home with wonderful memories of time spent together with our California family.
