Life is a Journey

I got off of work early on the 20th so decided to go to the Parks. It was a gorgeous day but still a bit warm for my taste. I sat for a bit and enjoyed the view. Since it was hot, I got really thirsty but a big cup of water and some nice cold grapes soon cooled me down. Admiring the purple banners on my favorite store at DCA. And now a little Instagram magic! A quick peek in Elias & Company and I started drooling over these DCA specific Dooney & Bourke purses. Well, not literally drooling.... Then I went into the first shop in the Hollywood area and the store was full of cool costumes and Halloween merch. Next stop: Cars Land! Isn't this the cutest pumpkin patch ever? And these movie posters are a gas.....get it? A gas? I got hungry so decided to try the Burning Mac and Cheese. I liked it. I also got myself a cool tire pumpkin straw! Time to walk off that mac...

Who? The one and only Disneyland, that's who! The 24 hour event that kicked off the 60th celebration was a couple of months ago but I still want to share my adventure with you. I did not want to deal with the throngs of people yet I still wanted to be there. What to do, what to do.....I decided that I was going to go to Disneyland at 3:00 in the morning! I went to bed early and got up at 1:30 so that I could leave my house by 2:00. I drove down to Anaheim and when I was about a mile away, stopped at a red light, I tweeted "Do you think I'll get in?"

I parked where I wanted and made my way to the tram. There were a few others there but only a handful, 10 guests at the most. I breezed through security and walked into the Park with no problem.

UPDATE:  Well, sort of... Art, if you are reading this, by all means save a copy of your photo! Sorry folks, I needed to address a comment I got and had no other way to reply to the gentleman! Now let's get on with our story. No, that wasn't a typo... I went to Disneyland for Dapper Day but it was so darn wet (not that I'm complaining) and I felt bad for everyone who had gotten dressed up to go to the Park. I took a couple of pictures but was so paranoid about getting my camera wet that I gave up and just enjoyed the Park! I pulled out my phone to take a photo, not realizing I had it set on video so here you see 2 seconds of a very wet Main Street! Let's walk together, shall we? And then, just as I shut off the camera... What's this? Pushing water with push brooms? My friends and I decided to meet at Rancho del Zocalo for lunch. (Here's a link to the menu .) As we paid for our meals, the rain started POURING down. As you may know, the sea...
