Disney's California Adventure

This is the tale of my trip to the new Disneyland California Adventure park.

Every time that I have mentioned California Grand Adventure people they always seem to ask me, “Isn’t that park more for teenagers and adults?” My answer is always the same. I think it is what you make of it. I am 27, my hubby is 31, my son is 7, my...

Pros: Why can't I give this Zero Stars?
Cons: More Disney propaganda and indoctrination

It's Tuesday morning, and I just got back from walking the dogs around the rich part of SaMo (seriously, man, priced way out of normal people's range. Like, a two bedroom house for $875,000) annoying the yuppies and BMW drivers to no end. You should...
