Christmas Vacation 2010

It's been too long since I last wrote. I am not one for excuses, but I do have a good reason for not posting: week long family vacation. That's right a whole week with the family spent in California. I wanted to write a post and include some pictures from my week even though it does not have a huge significance in my faith journey. I did however learn a few things:

1. Do not go to Disneyland, California Adventure, and Universal Studios over Christmas.

2. Never go on a ride with the Rice family...there is a 90% chance you will get stuck.

3. Pouring rain does not keep people out of the Disney Parks.

4. The best place to meet characters is Goofy's kitchen.

5. Children will "accidentally" pull the fire alarm, evacuating an entire hotel.

6. The first thing you grab when the alarm goes off says a lot about you...I grabbed a hairbrush.

7. The "First in Line" pass at Universal does not really get you far when half of the park visitors have one.

8. The crash scene from "War of the Worlds" is a real 747 torn apart. The set is still on Universal's backlot.

9. My favorite place to be is still the beach. Even when it is the end of December and super cold and windy.

10. It is so nice to be home.
