SF Trip Night 1

We've just arrived in Woodland California after driving for 12 hours. The long haul is over now though. The moon was almost full tonight and lit up the sky. Question of the night, is there anyway to determine whether a moon is waxing or waning just by looking at it?

On our way to watch the fireworks.

The Grand Californian Hotel

As we were leaving I snapped this picture of the lobby.

Masons at Disneyland

This is the infamous 'Club 33' (for the 33rd degree of masonry) the only place in Disneyland that serves alcohol. Once a gathering place for private guests of Walt, now a night club.

Me, my dad and Dale

Mom, Claudia and Dale

Breakfast buffet at the hotel restaurant includes entertainment. Dale is the one with the red nose.

That Cat from Pinocchio, an ape and Mom

More from breakfast. That monkey tricks Pinocchio into going to the donkey island, but never saw Tarzan so I have no idea what the monkey is about.

You know what this is...

A Note from Mickey

Yup, thats an autographed picture from Mickey. I know him!

Birthday Cake

Baskin Robbins chocolate rolled log cake with Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream!

Claudia's new place

Yes thats a pack of Twizzlers!

Port anyone?

Just touched down in LA-town! Night before my 29th. A 10, 20, 30 and 40 year glass of port (or a flight of port).
