GOLFING SPREE

MY WHOLE LIFE THIS TRIP HAS BEEN ABOUT GOLF. WE GOLFED 18 HOLES ALL BUT TWO DAYS THE WHOLE TRIP. WHAT CAN WE SAY WE LOVE IT!
WE HAD FUN.. GOT TO SPEND QUALITY TIME TOGETHER.. AND MADE OUR GOLF GAME EVEN JUST A LITTLE BETTER
WE LOST A FEW..
BUT ALSO HIT TONS OF GOOD ONES :)

GARY PLAYER
SHADOW RIDGE
MONTEREY COUNTRY CLUB
DESERT SPRINGS VALLEY COARSE
TAQUITZ CREEK
FOR A FAIR-WEATHER GOLFER LIKE MYSELF THERE IS NO BETTER THING TO DO IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE LIKE PALM SPRINGS.. NOW I HAVE TO TRY AND GET USED TO THE FLOODS AND WIND BACK HOME!

THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH..

REALLY DOES MAKE YOU HAPPY! :).. THIS TRIP WAS THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN TO DISNEYLAND WHERE I UNDERSTAND THE CREATIVITY OF IT ALL. EVERY LITTLE THING IS JUST MATCHED AND PERFECT TO THE TEE. AND YOU REALLY CANT HELP BUT BE HAPPY IN A PLACE LIKE THAT! I MEAN YOU WALK AROUND AND THERE IS NO LITTER,EVERY EMPLOYEE IS MATCHED IN COSTUMES ACCORDING TO THEIR JOB AND THEY ALL TALK LIKE THEY ARE GAME SHOW HOSTS- BUOYANT AND CHIPPER. IT WAS A FANTASTIC "VACATION" FROM THE WORLD.. TO SAY THE LEAST.
WITH A 20 MINUTE WAIT.. THE MATTERHORN WAS OUR FIRST STOP.. I REALLY ENJOYED THE WORKERS IN LEDDERHOSEN AND THE GERMAN VOICE WHO SPOKE "VELCOMB" AS YOU ENTERED THE ARENA.
THEN.. WE HAD TO MAKE A STOP AT SMALL WORLD FOR MY MOTHER. SHE SAYS THAT THIS RIDE IS HER PERFECT SPEED.
WE DID TAKE STOPS ALONG THE WAY TO POSE FOR SOME "KODAK MOMENT".. AND THEN DAD AND I WOULD RIDE THE ROLLER COASTERS :)
SPLASH MOUNTAIN HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE RIDES.. EVEN THOUGH I REMEMBER IT BEING SCARIER WHEN I WAS 9. WE GOT TO USE A FAST PASS ON THIS BABY. IT FEELS SO GOOD TO CUT IN FRONT OF A MILLION PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN WAITING IN LINE FOR HOURS :)
WE DID GET A LITTLE WET THOUGH
TOO BAD DAD WORE WHITE PANTS.. YIKES!
SPACE MOUNTAIN IS MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE! I LOVE HOW YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS COMING NEXT!
WE GOT HOPPER TICKETS SO THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO RIDE THE RIDES IN CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE. WE HAD EVERYTHING PLANNED OUT PERFECT AND WHILE WE WERE IN LINE FOR "CALIFORNIA SCREAM'N" A TECHNICAL MALFUNCTION WAS ANNOUNCED AND EVERYONE HAD TO GET OUT OF THE LINE! I WAS SO BUMMED BECAUSE THIS ROLLER COASTER IS ALSO ONE OF MY FAVORITES.. MY DAD AND I WERE PLANNING ON RIDING IT TWICE!
THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I GOT TO RIDE "THE TOWER OF TERROR" I WAS AMAZED AT HOW SIMILAR THE WHOLE SET UP IS COMPARED TO THE MOVIE
MY HEART DROPPED WHEN THE ELEVATOR FELL.. I HATE THAT FEELING!
AND WE DRIFTED INTO DUN DUN DUN.. "THE TWILIGHT ZONE".. OOH MAYBE I'LL GET TO MEET EDWARD!
THE PARADES ARE SO FUN TO WATCH! I LOVED SEEING MY FAVORITE PIXAR CHARACTERS.
AND OF COARSE WE HAD TO MEET MICKEY.. "M-I-C SEE YA NEXT TIME.. K-E-Y WHY? BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU.. M-O-U-S-EEEEE"
I WAS THRILLED TO LOOK ACROSS THE STREET AND SEE 3 SISTERS WITH THE HAIRCUT I HAD TO ENDURE WHEN I WAS LITTLE. POOR KIDS!!
THERE IS NOTHING BETTER TO END THE EVENING THEN THE "CELEBRATE" PARADE.
I FOUND MY LIFE CALLING.. WHICH IS TO BE ONE OF THE PARADE DANCERS AT DISNEYLAND
WHEN THEY CALLED ME OUT TO DANCE.. I JUST COULDN'T HELP MYSELF!!
I LOVE DISNEYLAND AND I AM ALREADY PLANNING MY VISIT BACK.. I CANT WAIT UNTILL I CAN BRING MY KIDS THERE SOMEDAY
