More Disneyland Pictures



Don't ride the teacup ride after eating shitty hamburgers and french fries.




The Disneyland must have photo in front of the castle, which turned out to be 75% smaller than I remembered as a kid.

Disneyland

We just got back from a trip to LA to visit friends, eat delicious dinners and we couldn't miss the chance to go to Disneyland. Both Rob and I haven't been since we were really little so this was the perfect opportunity to relive our childhood.



We started the day at California Adventure. We rode the screamer roller coaster twice in a row. It's always good to start the day off right being dizzy.



We had a blast. Rode all the rides we could, ate churros, watched all the suckers with their tired screaming children and got our picture with Eyore.


We also had a fabulous 9 course wine tasting dinner with 27 of Rob's poker buddies. It was amazing. I was most impressed of how well the food paired with the wine. I wish I had that ability to know what tasted good with what. All I know is that garlic tastes great with everything, even ice cream (thank you Mallards).

I told myself I wouldn't




I told myself I wouldn't care. I even bought a t-shirt to let everyone know that I really didn't care (see above). But, things happen that are beyond your control. I rented the whole series of "My So Called Life" and have been enjoying them as much as I did in the early 90's. But too much teenage angst takes me back to my high school days and with my 10 year high school reunion coming up this year, I am already reminded of high school and all the drama. So, I turned off the DVD and changed channels to see what was on and damnit I got stuck on the New Hampshire debates and actually watched the whole thing and cared!
