In mid-March Vicki, Penelope, and I visited Disneyland again. Three days. One of their favorite places. I was happy to serve in my usual role as chauffeur, porter, photographer, and sometime place-holder in lines. And to see all the happy people, especially the loved ones. In moments of quiet, I confess, I am strangely drawn to Disney; but there never have been any quiet moments (to paraphrase a favorite line); the din is constant, never-ending. Anyhow, the weather was near perfect, the lines were not too long, Vicki was able to use the fast-pass and related opportunities expertly, and 7-year-old Penelope never tired at all, insisting we stay until closing Saturday night to do the Jungle Cruise (my favorite) just one more time (our fifth). All in all it was a great visit.

Anticipation; interestingly, we spent most of the three days at the California
Adventure |

After Elasti-Person, she sort of lost interest in the
characters; probably didn't want to lose ride time |

Occasionally the souvenirs were amusing; my favorite was
"The mountains are calling: Thunder Mountain, Space
Mountain, Splash Mountain" |
