California Adventure

The kids did great at their competitions. Saturday they all wanted to go to California adventure which isn't DisneyLand, but costs the same and is right next door. We had a lot of fun. We only spent about four hours in the park, but much more than that and I would have been too pooped to party. One of those rides hurt my hiney. We rode the big roller coaster twice. woowee.

They had an awards show Saturday night, but it was supposed to start at 8 and they had so many technical difficulties that it didn't start until well after nine. At that point it was so far after my bedtime, that I ended up leaving before it was all over.

They had a second awards thing in the morning (I did stay awake for that one.) Since the kids did so well, they won some big stuff we took a limo to the airport. That was big fun.

Once we got to the airport we had a total disaster. We arrived totally early and thought we'd try to take an earlier flight. Desk agents were not particularly nice or helpful. At any rate, we didn't make the first flight, but we did make the second, except it had mechanical difficulties and wouldn't be taking off until 30 minutes after our original flight. So, we returned to the original flight . . . in time to discover that the other flight would indeed take off before ours because it was now 20 minutes late. sigh.

Got to Dallas at about 9:30pm, luckily our luggage was in the same terminal (they had told us it would be in a different one). I got home at about 10:30 and to bed a little after 11pm. Good times.
