We are sick...

Back from our southern california excursion - but all three of us are sick. And it is a delightful 5 degrees right now, up from the negative numbers of the night hours. So we're not really getting a lot done these days. I would feel guilty if I could focus on anything besides breathing...

Disneyland was very fun, although really wet! We got in about noon the first day, and my friend J took us over to the park for a little tour before he went back to work. We did have rain ponchos (excellent purchase!). We tried the Fast Pass ticket option (awesome), available for the most popular rides, for Soarin Over California which is like a hanglider ride. Really cool, D loved it. We stood in line for an hour (in the rain) to see World of Color which was cancelled.

Did eventually see the World of Color 3 times - amazing water/music/light show. They also projected images on the spray, and incorporated the lights from the ferris wheel behind - really worth seeing.

Went down to San Diego to SeaWorld, the whale show was great, but I was kinda disappointed with the aquariums.

D was not enthusiastic about the whole trip, but he ended up really liking most of it (except Space Mountain, the worst experience of his short life). World of Color, Matterhorn and Pirate Island were favs.
