Tink-Bits from Disneyland
We just returned from a nice family vacation to Disneyland. It was an adventurous trip.
It started out the first day with a trip to the ER. For my daughter and myself at the same time. Nekoda just had a bad fever but my wife was worried about ear infection. She did not have that but did have a virus that needed antiobiotics to get rid of. As for me, well let’s just say it was nothing serious and I was able to walk around Disneyland for 4 days without too much pain. But it does mean that my backpacking trip to Yosemite next weekend will be canceled, and I will need to return to the doctor to get the problem taken care of. Bummer.
As for Disneyland, the kids (my wife included) had way too much fun. The weather was very nice (not too hot), and the crowds were quite manageable (surprisingly). We rode Pirates of the Caribbean about 7 times (well, my wife rode it 7 times). That is now Jadon and Nekoda’s favorite ride as well. We saw the fireworks show and the new World of Color shows (both very impressive). The best show I thought was the Abraham Lincoln show, which was incredibly inspiring (yet sad that so few people go to see that). My daughter was ecstatic because she got to meet a lot of the princesses. We stood in long lineups for her to do that, but seeing her face light up when she met them was incredibly priceless. I’m not sure who her favorite was (she loved ALL of them). Jadon even got to dance with Ariel in a show and that was too cool (that’s my boy!).
I took a lot of family pictures of course. I also tried to get some shots of some of the characters around Disneyland, and I am posting here a few of my favorites.
