Are you following my blog?
Of course I am. It wasn't updating on my work PC so I thought you were too busy, but all the entries are showing okay at home - sorry about that! (Stupid work internet cache!)
The school got their name in lights!
Now that is cool!

Love the photo of the Golden Gate at sunset. It looked very cold there by the way you guys were all rugged up!

Did you go to the San Francisco Disney Store? It is not far from Macys and is one of the newer interactive stores (unfortunately it has same boring kiddy merchandise though as the other Disney Stores).

We had very little free time in SF. I spent several hours in union square but we were with the band performing the whole time. Then we walked en masse to a food court before getting onto a bus for the next activity. The company that organised the tour have not factor in meal breaks and free time. I think vegas will be even worse for the kids but Craig and I won't attend the workshop tomorrow and will have the day free.

Wow - that bus trip sounded like a long drag. Glad you made it okay - even with a nodding bus driver!

Your night shots around Vegas looked great. Definitely a better looking city in the dark than the daylight...

I'm in Anaheim and it's hot with an expected 28 tomorrow.

Hopefully we will hit downtown tonight. I'll post on

Craig just did his first Space Mountain - I don't think he is a fan. Did buzz- beat him! Now in line for Star Tours

Got fast pass for racers.

Nemo needs an upgrade some of the effects weren't working.

I must remember not to order iced tea in the states.

Eating at Village Haus, what are the rest of you doing?

Sitting at work contemplating the rest of the week and waiting for the Christmas break :(

Nemo is going down in January for a 9-month refurbishment, so I guess that is timely.

Well done for Craig doing his first Space Mountain - tell him it gets easier every time - he just has to get on again and again!

Enjoy Racers!

How are the crowds there this week? Have you run into Wayne and Jennifer?

I liked those Route 66 photos Beth, it really did look like Radiator Springs with the old cars and pickups, the old stores and struggling businesses.

Have a great time in Anaheim - it didn't look too busy in the photos you posted but that may have just been the time of day.

It was OK in the morning but really got crowded in the afternoon and evening.

We caught up with Wayne, Jennifer, Jan and John today at Angus's band performance at Thunder Mountain ranch. Then Wayne Craig and I did Splash Mountain. John is flying out tonight and Jan tomorrow night.

We have dinner tonight with the school at ESPN, universal tomorrow and then the school fly out tomorrow night and we change hotels.

Great photos from Disneyland Beth. The band looked great in Big Thunder Ranch.

I haven't been to Goofy's in years but I remember it being a lot of fun - must put that back on my list for our next trip to Anaheim.

Loving your blog - keep the entries coming!
