DCA - Before the Construction

I went back through my photo archives to find some gorgeously juicy tidbits of DCA before the major rehab. I enjoyed going through the photos and remembering things that I had forgotten, seeing attractions and buildings that no longer exist. So I will share them here with you to peruse, ponder and enjoy.

Put your feet up and get comfortable because I have LOTS to share. (Not all in one post. If I did that, you wouldn't came back!)

Since we've been having so much rain I knew there would be plenty of you that would appreciate pictures of the sun. But not that sun...

Remember this?


I always admired this sculpture every time I went to the Park.


I think this shot was my always one of my favorites. 


During the holiday season, lights were strung nearby. Too bad I didn't get a night shot!







I always enjoyed the different water flows. What do you remember about this? Leave some comments!

I apologize for the stark white borders around these photos. Back then I didn't save a copy to a CD - stupid!!! I trusted the Kodak Photo Gallery would always be around and sadly they closed shop and transferred (poorly) all the photos to Shutterfly. Ya, I know, I harp on that all of the time but let that be a lesson to you!

I always wished they had a small version to take home!

Disneyland Trash Cans

Image
Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted ...

Getting back into the swing of things...

Image
It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can...
