Disneyland is known as the happiest place on earth.
And Kerry Washington looked overjoyed as she spent time at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California on Easter Sunday.
The star, 46, was at the theme park with her husband Nnamdi Asomugha, a former professional footballer, 41.
The lovebirds, who got married in 2013, didn’t bring their two kids to the parks — opting instead for a day out together.
The star looked casual in blue jeans and baggy green cargo pants, and wore a face mask for part of the day.
The duo enjoyed the ride The Incredicoaster, a steel roller coaster at Disney California Adventure Park – which is part of Disneyland Resort.

She also added that she is focused on making sure her children know how to handle difficult life lessons.
Part of their journey is knowing that not everyone is going to hold your hand all the time. I try to appear as the person they need to help them be the best version of themselves.”
Kerry also said she has to stand up for herself too: “Part of trusting myself is figuring out how to define what my personal success looks like to me, so I’m not just choosing everyone else’s idea of what it should look like.” .’
“It’s that confidence of, if it’s mine, it has to be. But I have to stay ready to pivot and evolve and grow,” she said.
