I am back from my trek across the U.S. My long weekend was wonderful. I spent Thursday night with my mom's cousin, which makes her my 2nd cousin? It was great. Roxane put me up in her guest room, treated me to a sushi dinner with her family and then made me breakfast the next day before serving as my chauffeur for the day. It reminded me of when I used to live at home and my mom and I would eat breakfast together every morning before school!
I had an interview at a Southern California residency program with which I will not bore you with the details. After the interview Roxane and I met my mom, my Aunt Edwina, and their friend Jackie at their hotel near Disneyland. We had a yummy dinner filled with laughter and conversation!
Saturday was Disneyland day! I LOVED it, probably because I LOVE Disneyland and my mom, and my aunt Ed, and my new friend Jackie. We had a great time roaming the park and hitting on the wonderful rides. My favorite is still Space Mountain which this time felt faster than I remember.
The Haunted Mansion - decorated appropriately for Halloween! The 3 ladies I spent my day with came last year at Halloween time. We attacked the park in typical Chun-Leonardo (or should I say Utt?) fashion! It was great.
We even convinced my mom to ride the tea cups & trust me she hates the tea cups.
We had a strong cup of tea - all 4 of us crammed (and i mean crammed) into our little tiny cup.
As you can see Aunt Ed was thoroughly enjoying the tea cups & my mother's reaction!
The day was a scorcher (maybe a bit of an exaggeration), but it was HOT! So naturally we headed to Splash Mountain. We grabbed a Fast Pass (which is a ticket that you can get which lets you come back and certain times and essentially cut to the front of the line, the fast pass deal is free with your admissions ticket, but you are allowed only so many fast passes at a time).
Anyway the point is we did not return to Splash Mountain until early evening, after our afternoon nap. So of course there we were soaking wet and it was dark outside. Not the brightest idea, but I was smart enough to bring my newly purchased zip up hoodie with me to keep me warm.
The added fun to the trip this year was the hunt for hidden Mickey's! There are hidden Mickey Mouses all over the park. My Aunt Ed had a book on it and this was what the girls or should I say ladies were up to before I got to the park. They pointed some of them out for me. I didn't take too many pictures, because - I was having too much fun!
Here's a hidden Mickey in the eye of Mr. Toad on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
Ok, enough for now I will fill you in on the Texas portion of the trip tomorrow!
