We are home!


What a fantastic vacation! So many memories, so many pictures, so much to tell!

I thought I was going to have an easier time to blog while away but was not able to do so. Seems the android doesn't recognize the text area of my blog as a place to type. That's ok because we will just have fun catching up.

As soon as we arrived back home we were faced with the reality we did absolutely no Christmas shopping! So instead of sharing our fondest of memories we had to do in 4 days what we normally would have done in 1 month.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with lots of memories to cherish for many many years to come!

Its almost that time!

Our very 1st Disneyland Christmas vacation is just days away. Thinking of all the things I want to do and see. Can't wait to share a Dole Whip Float with the little ones, share the Captain EO experience, see all the Christmas decorations, take my niece on her 1st big kid ride (the matterhorn), sit down to a parade, watch the fireworks show, take a stroll in Downtown Disney.

All this made me think of rides from yesteryear. I loved rides and attractions such as the people mover, bear country jamboree, and the short lived rocket rods. I try to see and do everything each visit because you never know when you will come to find your favorite ride has closed forever to be replaced by something new and grand.

What are your favorite rides and attractions of yesteryear?
