AMAZING CREATURESI guess it is time for a new blog - for those of you who read our site. We are snowed under with work these days! And yes - snow is a bad word around these parts! A cool snowy day on the Monday of the long weekend was not funny at all. Made me ready to head south again until Alberta weather decided to smarten up.
Southern California seems like a blur now. And the busy-ness of our lives these days seems to push it further into those corners and recesses in our memories. But seeing a pic of our son on a white southern California beach building a sandcastle with the bosses' kids brings those memories up front once again!
The remainder of our trip south was more trips to Disneyland and California Adventure, San Diego SeaWorld, Crystal Cove State Park and Ruby's Diner in Oceanside.
Some of my random thoughts that jump to the forefront:
- Loving Thunder Mountain enough to WANT to do it again!
- Being brave enough to try California Screamin' and agreeing to try it again next trip south and, yes, you can hold me to that!
- Trying to find Hidden Mickey's on our last morning in Disneyland.
- Swinging bare feet in Soaring over California and being amazed at the incredible cinematography and sense of really flying!
- Breathing in the sweet scent of oranges (from Soaring) and closing my eyes and being there once again each time I light my Orange/Amber Candle!
- Disney Fireworks and Light show! There will never be a picture to do it justice! Ever! Just need to experience it again.
- Closing my eyes in the first "room" of the Haunted House first time there and not realizing what I had missed overhead!
- Taking a rest with Kev and Kels and getting in on a stage show without knowing it was coming!
- My first 3D movie and screaming like a little girl!
- Renewing a love of Muppets in the Muppet Movie Theatre.
- Watching the immense size of Shamu and friends and wondering how such creatures could be trained!
- Seeing a Beluga Whale for the first time!
- Not only picking up a starfish at Seaworld but being allowed to pick it up!
- Finding a little crab down at the beach and being startled to see it move inside the shell it called home!
- Watching a small group of Pelicans circling overhead in the State Park!
- Being amazed at how efficiently traffic moves in such a large city as Los Angeles!
There! The memories aren't quite so far away!
I told Peter not to read this so he can add his memories of the family trip south!
