Arrival in Tucson

I've missed a few days of blogging because I've been too tired after long days. Larry and I were inspired to go to Disneyland after going to the Disney Museum in SF. We thought about the many good times we had there both as children ourselves, then with our own children. We decided it didn't make sense to wait to go again until we had grandchildren to take. I'm glad we took the time to go. It was a great day. I got started Friday when the park opened at 8:00 AM. I managed to go on Indiana Jones twice, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, and Winnie the Pooh all before joining Larry at Big Thunder Mountain at 10. After that we went hopping over to the new (to me) California Adventure Park, which is just across the plaza from Disneyland. I was really impressed by CA Soarin and went on it twice. I don't remember the names of the other new rides we went on--I just remember that they were fun. Larry decided to try California Screamin', the roller coaster and seemed to like it OK, but got some motion sickness. I did the more tame roller coaster rides. I especially liked A Bug's Life 3-D movie, which had smells and kinesthetic sensations along with the movie. Late in the afternoon we went back to Disneyland. It had become much more crowded all of a sudden. We went on more rides which were old favorites. There were an amazing number of children in strollers up way past their bedtimes waiting in long lines. On the whole, the children seemed to hold up pretty well as did we during our long day. We finally went back to our hotel at 11:30 PM.

Our drive to Tucson went well. We arrived around 5 PM and found that our new floor was completed and looked great. We trusted this company and it paid off. We didn't want to live through a messy tile job, so arranged to have it done beforehand. We are settling in today. Because Larry has to start working tomorrow, we are setting up his new desk and work station today. So far, so good. He gave me a break, which I am using to blog.
