Kayaking with Francy

Yesterday I went kayaking with Francy down in huntington harbor.  It was a great day for it and we had been trying to go for a few weeks but something always got in our way.   I wish I would have brought my camera but most of you that know me also know I can be a little accident prone.  I didn't want my camera to end up at the bottom of the harbor.  I am happy to report there was no mishaps....unless you count the difference between me and francy in what we thought kayaking was.  I thought it was paddling and she thought it was floating.   We compromised!  I did tell her that I was going to blog about her though.  So francy this ones for you!  As we were floating along (i told you we compromised)  we saw some HUGE houses and HUGE boats docked in front of them and I wondered how many of those places were somebody's second house.  What a life that must be?!?! 

Today in Atwater there are kids Trick or Treating at the local buisnesses.  I think I may walk down to the coffee shop do some people watching.  You never know who you might see!

The Happiest Place On Earth......

Last weekend I went with my friend Molly to disneyland for her husbands birthday along with some of their friends.  We wanted to be at the park all day so we got up early and made it there around 8:30ish. I had only ever been to Disneyworld and that was over 15 years ago so I was really excited to see what they had come up with since I was a kid.  They still had many of the familiar things, most notable was the mickey ears with your name on the back...you know the ones. 


They also had some made some welcomed changes.  There was now Captain Jack in the Pirates of the Carribean ride....who doesn't like Johnny Depp.  After hitting as many rides as we could and then hitting some again we watched what was called the World of Color.  If you have ever seen the water show at the Bellagio this makes that show look like childs play.  It was magical~   Like only disney can do!  Here are some of the pictures from the day!  Hope you enjoy!

the past few weeks....

I know I haven't posted anything for a few weeks.  I guess I got a little busy with this spread out work schedule they gave me.   I have yet to hit most of the tourist traps but I did make it to Magic Mountain with Becky and her family.  Man, I had forgotten how much I love rollercoasters.  

I FINALLY got to see Molly. We had a few drinks and then hit the hot tub at her place. That girl is a lot of fun!   I also got to see my brother yesterday.  We met up in Thousand Oaks and had dinner at none other then the Cheesecake Factory.  (one of our favorites)  I haven't seen Dill since I went to see him in Australia last year.  This visit didn't cost me as much.  I hope to see much more of him while we live so close.  

Well thats really all there is to update for the moment.   Not all of my posts will be so blah I promise.  Until next time....
