Happiest Place on Earth

Although it was wet and cold during our stay in Disneyland, we still had a blast! It was pouring rain during the drive down to Southern California. When we got to the park, it became mostly a soft drizzle, but it did rain down hard a couple of times. The great thing about the rain though is that it kept a lot of people away. The rides had very short lines and we were able to go on to the main attractions quickly. Speaking of main attractions, we had the unfortunate experience of getting stuck on the "Big Thunder Mountain" ride. Fortunately, it happened on the way up on the track. It took about 15 minutes before we got out of the ride. The Disney crew was very professional about it and we were more than happy to go back the day after for another go around. After a few hours of walking and riding more coasters, we were all very tired. By 8pm, we were ready to go home and have dinner. By 10pm, we crashed out.

The weather was much better the second day. It's a good thing we started our day early because the crowd was huge as the day wore on. We made sure we rode on "Space Mountain" early that morning. By the way, that is still the best ride in Disney. We love the "Tower of Terror", but "Space Mountain" is a classic. The kids loved it too.

Before lunchtime, we watched Jenny perform with the rest of the Wind Ensemble at "Carnation Plaza". They played for 30 minutes and they had a pretty good crowd watching them. We're so proud of her. Good job, Jenn!

We made sure that we soak up all of Disneyland before we left. We stayed there until midnight. And yes, I felt kinda sad leaving. After all, it is the happiest place on Earth. This was my 3rd time in Disneyland and I enjoy it more during each visit. Yeah, having kids make it 10x more better, but you can't help but feel really happy when you're there.

I'll be going back to work tomorrow ... sucks!
