Mickey Mouse says "Don't wait until it's too late to hydrate."

Mom, take a seat for this one. Our trip to California Adventure today (sister park to Disneyland) turned out to be quite an adventure. After a nice short drive, we arrived, got our tickets, our "just married" buttons & Minnie bride ears for me Our first stop was the Orange Stinggers...simple swings. We then headed over to the appropriately named "Sun Wheel" which is a ferris wheel with cars that slide on their tracks while going around. We were almost to the front of the line (after 30-some minutes of waiting) & all of a sudden I felt like death. Attempting to get out of line with Matt's guidance, I passed out cold. Thankfully Matt was right behind me to lower me down to the ground safely. I quickly came to, but still felt like death, was as white as a ghost & sweating like it was 100+ degrees out. Meanwhile it was a beautiful 75 degree day. I walked up the exit ramp & sat down on the ramp, then proceeded to lay down on the ramp. Some workers brought me water while my poor husband sat there as worried as can be. Since I wasn't getting better, they called a nurse who took my vitals...I had super-low blood pressure, so they proceeded to wheel me, in a wheel chair through almost the whole park to the first aid center. My wonderful husband got me some food & I drank a bunch of water and wa-la...I felt better. We enjoyed the rest of our day at the park, going on some easy rides & drinking plenty of water. We just rounded the day out with a yummy dinner at rainforest cafe. Back to our studio to fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean waves...no joke. Our place is beautiful & overlooks the Pacific Ocean.
Lessons learned today....1. A few cheerios & a mini can of diet 7-up do not cut it for breakfast. 2. My husband did really mean "in sickness & in health" & he reminded me today once again one of the many reasons why I married him. 3. California "Adventure" is no joke & Mickey knows what he's saying on those signs at the entrance that suggest staying hydrated.
