I'm sharing this vacation in chapters. Today is the Disneyland--California Adventure chapter. Granted that 4 "mature" adults will look for different thrills than the teen crowd--and our association with Disney themed characters has a whole new meaning from kids and the parents that are saturated with it--we still had a great time. We loved "Soaring over California" and that ride gave us a sort of preview of the rest of our trip. And the Toy Story Midway ride certainly had its appeal (I had the high score among us, there; but Steve claimed 100% accuracy). We all got a wet kick out of the Grizzly River Raft ride and enjoyed the atmosphere in the Tower of Terror (the Twilight Zone theatrics was more fun than the ride itself, if you ask me). But my favorite thing is still the Disneyness of the place: the enthralled kids, the creative ideas and the shared "wow" you have with everyone else. I still prefer the original Disneyland, but this was a great day. Here's a bit of the electric parade, dedicated to Ami and Danyael (the Dedicated Disneyland Fans of the family).
