We went to Disneyland on Saturday. We got there when the park opened and literally walked onto most of the rides. We completed all the major roller coasters by lunch time (Space Mountain, Matterhorn, Indiana Jones, Thunder Mountain.
In the afternoon, we went to California Adventure. This was our first time there. The rides were much more exciting.
Here are the kids at the Hollywood Hotel ride. This is the same ride they have at Disney World in Orlando. Way cool! We rode it twice.
We also did the California Screamin ride twice.
By about 5 o’clock, we were all pooped and hungry! Nikhil had a race out in Corona early the next morning so we decided to head back home and get some rest.
One last pose in front of the faux skyline. Note the realistic clouds and shadows.

Picasa, my old editing tool on the PC doesn’t work on the Mac, so I am now learning to use iPhoto.
I haven’t quite figured out how to save the image in a lower resolution so the file uploads to WordPress are quicker, but the cutover was pretty painless.
And look, no more wires cluttering up my desktop. I have a basketful of cables going in the trash!
