One for the books



You can see the photos Here but there are a lot more I still need to load. I guess some of my photos aren't exactly specific. But I take pictures based on those things that strike me about a particular location, ones that provoke the memory and remind me of a particular moment in time. There is one photo of some leaves outside of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland and some just flowers outside of the Hollywood Tower of Terror in MGM. But I hope you like them...

Our trip was a whirlwind. We "thought" we would have a day or even two to relax and take in the whole idea of "vacation" but as it turned out, we were going non stop. Our mornings would start later but we were going until the wee hours of the morning. Including a midnight visit to Planet Hollywood. Disney stayed true to their elaborate, ornate and detailed design which makes you truly feel like you are experiencing whatever destination they would have you believe. Whether it be the old world feel of the UK, colorful China, the dry landscapes of Africa or the country charm of Denmark. It was amazing. I certainly didn't capture photos of everything I saw, but I felt if I kept my eye in the viewfinder the whole time I wanted to, I would have missed...something. Flora and fauna abound in every park, upon every turn and every leg weary step you took. The food...well let's just say we ate, well. The rides were awesome and we found lots of thrills, chills and screams. To the point where I had lost my voice for a couple of days during our trip. It was an odd feeling to try to say something and yet nothing would come out except a weird squeak here and there. I had never lost my voice before and I kept thinking I could just clear my throat and it would be fine. But, no. Yet another new, and funny, experience :P

It was interesting to see the different types of personalities and people that live across the country. It was truly a world away from home, but with any difficulties we may have had within our trip, it was a great time overall. And I am so thankful it was with my Daughter and my Mom.
