DAY

Disney's Calfornia Adventure

Day 2 at Disney, Our Hotel offers a useful theme park shuttle bus to the park.

Hollie and Ben really wanted to ride The Cars ride.

We rode in Giant Scalextric cars and had a hair raising race with another car.

I found my spirit car.. Day of the dead style.

Then off to the fairground section of the park, with some stomach churning old fashioned rides.

A view from the ferris wheel, complete with hyper swinging gondolas.

Hollie wished we had opted for a static one.

We did "Goofys flying school" a juddering wild mouse contraption.

The wilderness section features some familiar creatures!

We tried our luck on the raging river, in a family sized circular boat.

Hollie and Ben drew the short straw, getting saturated..I only had 1 soggy leg.

An hour plus queue ended our adventures to go on the Guardians of the Galaxy ride, which lives in the old "Tower of Terror " building..Before long it was time to bid Disney farewell.

A slightly less than elegant way to return on the shuttle bus, we barely caught the hourly run, and had to go luggage class, with a marine and his service dog " Clover".

Off to the airport to drop off the young 'uns, with a tiny tear in my eye.

Remind me, that I don't stay in hotels with numbers in their title. Horrid Motel 6 LAX with its cell like room and resident drunks, the gentle strains of the blaring traffic seem to be in the room!
Off to Panda Express for a Chinese,

A Bon voyage snap from Hollie & Ben before they board the flight home.

I will miss them, but not as much as Bens Costco card, which he loved to mention at every given opportunity.

Goodnight Dear Reader, I may or may not get any sleep tonight. xx
