Disneyland and a Plumber Who Doesn't Know How to Fix Plumbing

So we went to Disneyland on Sunday and it was really fun. We got up around 7am and left around 8:30am. We picked up the tickets at the Ramada close to Disneyland and then went to Target to pick up some essentials. We bought a digital camera at Target because we had forgotten our camera at home (we ended up putting all the pictures on the computer and then taking the camera back hahaha). I don't have the pictures with me at work to upload them to the blog so I'll try to get some pictures uploaded tonight. We got into the park at about 10:30am. Lucy loved it! She was just amazed at all the people, all the bright lights, and all the commotion. She especially like the Tiki Room. We took her to my parents' house at around 3:30pm and went back to the park to enjoy some of the 'big kid' rides :-) We went on Star Tours, Space Mountain, the Matterhorn, Thunder Mountain, Indiana Jones, and Pirates of the Caribbean. We had a blast. We went to the timeshare company provided motel after the park and were not suprised to find that it was really gross. There was even a roach on the wall. We were so tired by this point that we just decided to deal with it and we crashed at around midnight. We woke up early and got Lucy. It was nice seeing my parents and Ann Marie (Samantha was sleeping). We don't see them often enough.

In other news, we got the leak in the master bath tub under control.. The first plumber that came out had told us that we have mold. We had Todd McCord come out to get rid of the mold and he said that there was no mold, but went ahead and bleached it anyway just to be sure. Then the home warranty company Fidelity called out that same plumber again, who apparently didn't know how to fix our problem because about an hour later, he said he would have to open up the stucco on the side of the house in order to fix the leak and that he was not comfortable doing it. Fidelity sent out a different plumber and that plumber confirmed with us that there was indeed, no mold and that the other plumber had made the problem even worse by screwing the drain cap on too tight and cracking the pipe. The second plumber came back the next day and fixed the plumbing (without having to open up the stucco on the side of the house).

I like having a home warranty. It's like living at an apartment cuz you don't have to fix things yourself. All you pay is $55.00 for a copay and then they fix the problem. Our Air Conditioner is covered on the home warranty too and it has not been working as well as it needs to so we called yesterday to have the A/C fixed too. It's kind of awesome. Depending on how much the home warranty will cost us annually, we might consider renewing it next year.
