Disneyland

October 26, 2013

So I finally made it to Disneyland. It took until afternoon because we started on the California Adventure side. Ferries wheels that swing, 3D muppets, Cars, monsters Inc, and the California Scream Machine. In reality the scream gets more press, but the ferries wheel induced more stomach churning moments.

It felt like we were in Disneyland last night. But we were only in Disney downtown for dinner at Ralph Brennans Jazz Kitchen. Good food, good music, and a chance for me to finally see Ashlan and Catie.

Disneyland in the afternoon was a sea of people. We did manage the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, but really not much more than people watching and scoring a table at the ESPN Zone so we could watch the start of game 3.

We are relaxing in our room in the 8th inning with St. Louis up by two, and the Red Sox threatening.

Hello from sunny California

October 24, 2013

Yes, we have left the fog of Seattle for the relative warmth of Orange California. Carl actually enjoyed some morning grey and afternoon sun and Disneyland, while I was in a class. (I have not been outside yet today.) We are leaving soon to meet Ashlan for dinner.

Yes, Ashlan, our NYC child in southern California. And it is happenstance that we ended up here at the same time.

Oh, here is a current view of the
kitchen.
