Day 105 (7 Apr 10 part 7): Will this day never end???

Monday, April 12, 2010

That is what Leslee and I were asking at this point…So what do you do for tired, cranky and sore feet (and that was just the Grandparents!)? What else?  Hop the Train!

Day 100 (7 Apr 10 part 2): Main Street USA!

Thursday, April 8, 2010

Just inside the security gate (ask me sometime my opinion…) is a big courtyard between Disneyland and California Adventure.  As always, Disney has great trees and bushes. Once past the ticket booth we see Main Street Station and one of the four trains they had running around the park. Once through this arch we are […]

Monday, April 5, 2010

There were again about 18-20 of us out on Tenth Avenue South Saturday afternoon.  There were also about five on the corner where I took this photo from, and five or six back on 9th Avenue South on the detour for west-bound 10th Avenue South traffic.
