Time does not march !!!

Time does not march or move slow or methodically along, IT FLYS!! It seems like I write down a few notes of what is going on and the next thing I know it is a month or two later. It has been over a year since I retired and I can believe how busy I have been and how much I have done. I didn't try to do a lot of things or go a lot of places but I guess with all the free time or at least non-scheduled time I was just able to do a lot more and really enjoy everything.

The first thing I did was go to DisneyLand with my gal friend, Suzanne. I had never been there and she had been there a couple times but many years ago. We planned to go there for 3 days during the mid-week in early May to avoid the crowds and it worked out well. The crowds were there but more on the lighter side, the lines were not too too long. We got there about noon on Tuesday all the weather was partly cloudy and not too hot. We grabbed out maps and descriptions of the attractions and headed across the street to DisneyLand. It seemed a little strange but it was like we were a couple of kids instead of a couple in their 60's. We went from one ride to another, from one attraction to another and just tried to take it all in. It was great and very rejuvenating and invigorating. We even bought hats to help feel the moment, Suzanne wore a Minnie Mouse hat and I got a Goofy hat. We went to bed early that first night but we both had smiles on our faces and dreamed of all that was in store for us on Wednesday. Wowee!!!

We got up early and had breakfast then over the Disney to get in to ToonTown to see all the characters and see the rides. We stood in the crowd of young parents and their small kids and waited for the show to begin. There we were in our hats and yelling and getting as excited as the youngsters. Finally they came out and we watched their show and then we stood in line to get our pictures taken with our "idols". Suz looked so cute with Minnie and Goofy showed me how to pose holding our ears out straight, he is such a great guy. Then it was off to go on more rides and see stuff and do some shopping. It was a busy day and we slowed down during the afternoon and enjoyed the people and the feeling of DisneyLand. It may be my imagination but it seems like almost everyone at Disneyland is in a pretty good mood. It was fun to wave and smile at the kids and have them look at us in our Disney hats and laugh and wave back. We became part of the Park or did it become part of us??? After the afternoon/evening parades we went to dinner with friends then back to the hotel for some much needed rest.

The next morning we had breakfast and watched all the people and kids getting ready for their trip to DisneyLand. This is such a great place and such a great feeling. For a short time all the cares and woes seemed to drift away and everyone was enjoying life and being kids again. Then we packed up all our stuff and headed to the airport to fly home. It was a great few days and the trip was wonderful and all is well in the world. It was a great trip and a great feeling to become a kid again. DisneyLand is truely a Magic Kingdom.
