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...

Here's another post that was started a while back and that I never finished. I must say, I miss the days when I could blog daily. Well, let's get started, shall we? This first photo shows a detail that many see but I'll bet few photograph - an empty Matterhorn ride vehicle. Or should I say vehicles? Anyway... I like to imagine that I have the entire Matterhorn to myself and I am the only person in the Park. Yes, I am THAT greedy. The old Matterhorn ticket booth shutters got a facelift. When did those stairs appear?? Oh geez....I have no idea what caught my eye or why I took this picture. And now my favorite thing to do when I am enjoying a snack at Disneyland - admire the architecture! Seriously! Just look at all the little details and angles. I think it is amazing. If you are wondering where this is, it's the Jolly Holiday Bakery at Disneyland. That's it. Just a quick post for today!

This is my FAVORITE time of year and I love it even more when Disneyland gets into the swing of things! On Thursday, September 25th, I spent a leisurely day at the park, just enjoying the decorations. Before going under the train tracks, I paused to photograph this sign. Mind you, I know nothing about the movie other than it doesn't really appeal to me but I know there are many of you out there that ARE looking forward to this. If you are an Annuel Passholder you can catch a preview in Tomorrowland. I met up with a couple of friends and we made our way to Innoventions. I've always enjoyed the view from up here because it reminds me of when I was able to ride the Skyway and enjoy viewing Disneyland from above. I had not seen the Iron Man exhibit and on this day I was only able to get a glimpse of it as there were soooo many people waiting to check it out. I suggested to my friends that they get in line to meet Thor and after a short wait, they ...
