California

Ken and I had the opportunity to meet Lisa in Los Angeles last week. We had been planning the trip since summer and now it has come and gone. Isn't that the way it always works? We had a wonderful time. Lisa and I hit Disneyland for a couple of days while Ken saw to some business.

Lisa is probably my favorite person to do Disneyland with. I suppose it is because we like to do the same things. A perfect balance between rides and just walking around enjoying all the detail that Disney seems to perfect.

The only thing that we might disagree on is the Carousel. I Gotta get the Carousel picture. She humored me and we got it out of the way pretty much first thing.

It was November 1st and they did, in fact, have some Christmas decorations out. It was fun to reminisce and laugh and talk about so many memories. I don't know if it truly is the "Happiest place on Earth" but we sure have had some happy times there.

From LA we went to Oceanside. Lunch at the end of the pier.

We missed you Katie!!!!!

The next stop was Palomar Mountain. Ken and Katie had been back since we moved, but this was the first time for Lisa and I. It was great to see a few familiar faces and meet some new ones. We had dinner and spent the night with Steve and Marlene in Murrieta.

We ended our week in Indio near Palm Springs where we visited with good friends and Lisa golfed with Ken for the first time since she was 6. She may just be taking up the game again after all these years........
