Life is a Journey

Back during the early part of August, we were experiencing triple digit weather. NOT my favorite time of year! Nevertheless, we decided to go to Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar after work one Thursday. I was surprised to learn that two of my co-workers had never been so I immediately knew that this was a rather serious situation that needed to be rectified! I got to the resort first so I booked it to Trader Sam's to be sure I could snag a table. When I got there, only two open tables were left! I was ever so grateful for the wonderful air conditioning and sat down to inspect the menu . This link takes you to the Disneyland site so there are no pictures but if you Google Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar and then click on images, you'll have a feast for the eyes. Speaking of feasts...I ordered the Shrimp Tacos and a Krakatoa Punch because I wanted the souvenir glass! Guess what? They were out of souvenir glasses. BUMMER. Oh well, the Castmember put a glowing ice cub...

A quick visit to Disneyland since I had not been there in a while. Right off the bat you can see that something is going on at the parking structure. This is happening on each level. I asked around but no one could tell me what was going on. I know most of you want to see what is going on with Star Wars Land...even though the official name was announced at D23, I find it very cumbersome so I shall continue to refer to it as Star Wars Land. Time to catch the tram but first, I have to find my way to the escalators! Now I'm at my happy place! The trains are running and people are lining up! So I decide to get in line, too! I was really excited about riding the train. So much so that I recorded some thoughts for The Disneyland Gazette. Now ride along with me! I got off the train in ToonTown not realizing that the section with the dinosaurs had been updated. So for your viewing pleasure, here is a link to a video pos...

Note: Had some technical issues with this post but I believe they have all been fixed! I was lucky enough to win tickets to an Adam West Tribute show in Riverside for Saturday, July 15, 2017. I was jazzed because they would be screening the Batman movie! We had to pick up the tickets early so we decided to have dinner near the Fox Theater. My friend, Cecelia told me about a funky Mexican restaurant that sounded really cool so I was eager to check it out. At Taco Tios , we had tacos and tried to stay cool during an unbearably hot heat wave. The atmosphere of the place helped take my mind off of the heat for a while. What you see below is a close up shot of our table top. While waiting for our food, I started looking around and got the biggest kick out of all the unusual stuff used to decorate the place. After we ate, we started walking around and exploring the property. I didn't know which way to turn! I sat this and knew we HAD to take our pic here! Every singl...
