Dawn's Thursday Thirteen, Edition Twelve: reflecting on California




Thirteen Thoughts I Brought Back With Me From My Trip to California


1) Nichole & Daniel are gracious, generous, amazing people & i am so lucky to call them my friends.

2) California weather is like taking the best weather in CT (October) & the best weather in FL (March) and combining them: warm without being too hot & *no* humidity.

3) the Pacific Ocean is *nothing* like the Atlantic Ocean.

4) you cannot compare Disneyland to Walt Disney World. they are so different. both are wonderful, magical places to be...but they have totally unique personalities.

5) the consumption of a beverage containing alcohol is as pleasurable as the company you keep.

6) chocolate from See's Candie's really *is* better than Godiva.

7) don't put your knuckles in anything brown in color... and if someone else does, don't try to be nice by wiping it off. ;-)

8) it is very important to keep your body loose & floppy when riding the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland.

9) not all wines taste & smell like...wine...

10) when RSN-FL comes together with RSN-West, unbelievabe things happen: like Julian Tavarez pitching a complete game in a Red Sox victory.

11) Disneyland has a *way* better Pirates of the Caribbean than WDW.

12) "life is a celebration. every day holds a reason to have a glass of champagne."

13) how is it possible to miss someplace that you have only been once, for four days...?

So there we are, wandering around California Adventure. I have no idea where the brown smudge came from. I had just thrown away one of my many empty bottles of diet coke, so I'm guessing it was from the that. Right there, on the kunckle of my right ring finger. Daniel, being OCD and all, decides to wipe it off for me.

What could possibly be brown and on someone's hand? Maybe it's chocolate. So he decides to eat it. Thank goodness he had the foresight to smell it first because it wasn't really chocolate. What else is in abundance at Disneyland and California Adventure?

yeah. baby poop.

OOh, how are the Pacific and Atlantic different? I haven't really seen a difference in Pacific and Indian. Anyways, Happy TT!

Sounds like you had a great trip! I think you're right that WDW and Disneyland are different. #7, yuck!

Sounds like you had a great time. Yep-it's definitely possible to miss someplace you've only been for 4 days -it's happened to me.

For the record, no one decided to "eat" anything. I simply said it was a good thing I *didn't* think it was chocolate and eat it. :-P
