Dizzyland
Spent all day Sunday at Disneyland with my best friend from Hawaii, Leann, and her family and their friends who tagged along. We had a great time! The weather was cool and comfortable. It wasn't very crowded (by Disneyland standards, it was virtually deserted). We hardly waited in line for anything. We practically ran through that long tunnel maze for Indiana Jones and walked right onto the ride. The kids went on Splash Mountain twice without even waiting. Scooter and I had a blast on Matterhorn, screaming Kelsey's name the whole time, just for fun.

We ate dinner at Rainforest Cafe, just like we did the last time they visited. Leann & Kelsey really like the strawberry lemonade. We usually eat at New Orleans Square, but Rainforest is our dinner-with-Leann tradition.

So, now, is it just me getting old and jaded, or is Disneyland starting to lose some of its lustre. Four attractions are currently shut down for the long term, and they are major ones - Space Mountain, It's a Small World, Roger Rabbit and Big Thunder Mountain (well, we all know why THAT one is closed). I'm still lamenting the demise of Rocket Rods, which I got to ride just once (fortunately) before they shut it down forever. Now here's the thing that pushes my jadedness (?) over the top. WHILE WE WERE THERE, the following rides broke down: Indiana Jones, Matterhorn, Winnie the Pooh. And those are only the ones we know of.

Well, the main thing is we got to hang out with Leann and her gang, and we have fun with them no matter where we go. I hope they're winning lots of $$ in Vegas now so they can visit us again!
