Our California Vacation

My wife and I took a trip last week away from the growing cold of ND and to the warmth of southern California. Ironically when we landed in Long Beach there was more white stuff coming down there than when we left North Dakota. Although the wildfires weren't anywhere near where our parents live in CA, ash from the fires made it to our area. Fortunately it cleared up after about two days.

One of our big outings was to Disneyland. On Tuesday we went to "the happiest place on earth" with my in-laws and brother-in-law. Being before Thanksgiving and the Christmas season, Disneyland was empty! We only had to wait more than five minutes on a couple rides. As a result I think we were able to get on more rides than any other time that I've been to the park. One of the highlights was going on the new "Toy Story" shoot 'em up ride (twice!) at California Adventure. We had a very nice time being able to catch up with our families and friends. However, we were also happy about returning to ND.
