Jeremy & Karie
He's my "sometimes husband", which means he does stuff like help me with "manly" stuff I can't do on my own.
She's my hetrosexual wife.  She's currently my partner in life.
Hee!

Sunday, our last day, we ran to both Disneyland & California Adventure to get all the rides we missed or really loved.

The little kids wanted to, of course, visit Toon Town.  It's sort of a special kind of hell for adults.  Or, at least, this adult.  =)

Brittany & me in Toon Town
I'm doing my panda bear sit, sorry.

Brittany & me
I don't even remember taking this so I have no idea what we were doing
but it was fun!

Monday, we drove home.  Sort of sad but we were all ready!
