Last Tuesday we took a drive to Anaheim California to spend a couple of nights and visit Disneyland. We checked in to our Worldmark condo in the afternoon, then checked out the local area and had dinner at the Cheescake Factory. Tuesday morning we headed over to Disneyland. The park is all decked out for Christmas, and was really pretty. We had anticipated small crowds. Wrong!! We thought with the schools still in session that it wouldn't be too crowded. Wrong!! I've never seen so many strollers in one place. But, after the Christmas parade at 5:30, the crowds thinned out. We were there from 9:00 a.m. until about 9:00 p.m. with about a 1 hour break in the afternoon to go back to the condo to change to warmer clothes for the evening. We rode several rides, watched the fireworks show, and checked out a lot of shops.
Thursday afternoon we returned to Apache Junction. Our Seattle friends, Ron and Jan came down on Tuesday for a week. We will be on the same flight to Seattle on Tuesday the 13th. We've been hanging out together the past few days. But, in a couple of days it will be back home for a busy 17 days.
Today we had a Barbecue (ribs) for 10 at our site. We decided to get together with the other Washington people in our section of the park. We had a good time, and probably ate too much. Tomorrow will be one last round of golf for me until next year. Hopefully the weather will hold up, as the forecast is for showers. It should be in the mid 60's, so a rain shower or two shouldn't be a deterrent.
Until next time, stay dry,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Ernie
