Solstice 2008

Sunday, Dec. 21, 2008 - 12:36 a.m.

Yesterday evening, Old Buddy Dave and I went to the parks one more time before I head home later tonight.

We went to California Adventure first, and he showed me the newest attraction that he'd been amused with, Toy Story Midway Mania. It's a three dimensional shooting gallery featuring characters from the movie, and it was really fun. He outscored me, but my percentage of shots to target was higher. So, we both won. Well, he *won* won, but I was the better shot. Or something.

We stuck around for the Electrical Parade, which is always a perennial favorite of mine when it's running, but try as I might, I have all but given up on getting a really good shot of it in the dark light and not have the float lights looking wavy or too dim.

Instead, I took a picture of a couple of spectators that were seated on the sidewalk in front of us.

We also ended up sitting next to some folks that had driven down to the park from San Jose. Heh. Small world!

When the parade ended, we crossed to Disneyland, and we got some shots of New Orleans Square, and we went to see the seasonal decor for the Haunted Mansion; they have made improvements to it each year and this time was no exception.

But finally, I was under the impression that time was against me as I hadn't printed out my boarding pass yet, and if you don't do it as soon as you are able to, you risk getting stuck with a high boarding number and a longer wait to get on.

Luckily, when we got back to Dave's, and he cranked the printer to life, I got a low number. Yay!

So that's what happened on Saturday. It's now early Sunday, and my plane departs at a little after nine pm.

We'll be up early later this morning to go to breakfast, and then I'll gather everything from all over creation and make it fit back into the suitcases it arrived in.

Packing should be a breeze.

No really.

That's it. Have a good Sunday. For those who observe it, Happy Winter Solstice!
