The Kuletos ended up driving home this morning at 3am after their children had woken up in the middle of the night puking. Instead of trying to deal with it in the hotel, Tony bought a large Diet Coke and drove the family home.
Josh had to go back to work this morning and Brandy wasn’t up for staying at Disneyland for the day with her two kids so after we had breakfast together they also went home.
So instead of a second day of Disneyland with friends, it ended up being a family day at Disneyland. And we had another great day.

Its that wonderful time of year again. This year our overnight stay at Disneyland is not at the Disneyland Hotel, but instead at the Park Vue Inn, a small hotel across the street from Disneyland. Lorri has stayed here before and recommended it. Our room had a bedroom, a small sitting area and a tiny, but full, kitchen. It was perfect.
We headed out early in the morning, checked into the hotel and meet up with the Kuletos. We had a full day at Disneyland complete with nonstop Buzz rides, Tom Sawyer’s Island, and one of our new favorites, Toy Story Mania at CA Adventure. The Konolds met up with us in the late afternoon for a few more attractions and then dinner.
We love Disneyland.
Family life is full of major and minor crises -- the ups and downs of health, success and failure in career, marriage, and divorce -- and all kinds of characters. It is tied to places and events and histories. With all of these felt details, life etches itself into memory and personality. It's difficult to imagine anything more nourishing to the soul.
