Disneyland Trip Day 1
Sunday August 24th, 2008
This trip consisted of JRKCR and her DH, their three DD’s and a family friend, a young lady who was a friend of their daughters. I was in Cali without the DW or DD. Both were at home working and going to school – what a wife and daughter to let me go to the west coast without them – actually, now that I think about it, they agreed pretty quickly. Hmmm….
This trip came up pretty quick and thanks to JRKCR’s husband, frequent flyer miles got me across country in style. Thanks again for that J.
So Sunday morning I left South Carolina early and after and arrived at LAX around 2:30 PM. Catching the Super Shuttle, a big :thumbsup: here to them, I was on my way to the Desert Palms* hotel just around the block from Disney. The JRKCR family left Reno, Nevada early that morning and, believe it or not, we all arrived at the hotel within five minutes of each other. Hugs and introductions over, luggage in the room, it was now time to eat.
*(A word here about the Desert Palms. It was a pretty nice hotel, clean, and the staff was polite. There was a great free breakfast every morning and the hotel was relatively close to the resort. Downsides, we had no hot water for a couple of days, the pool was a bit small [which we didn’t get to use much because it was closed when we got back from the parks] and the girl’s room was without air conditioning most of the week – but they never complained.)
All seven of us went to Downtown Disney and had dinner at the House of Blues. I had the shrimp po-boy and it was delicious. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food also. Afterwards we went back to the hotel to get some rest for our big day tomorrow at Disneyland.
OK JRKCR - follow up with what I missed.:D
