In Sickness and in Health for 35 years

Our wedding anniversary came again in November and again on the 18th. It's been happening this way now for 35years.

And so I ask you, where would anybody want to spend their special day? Come on where would you go if you wanted to be really really happy? YES....the happiest place on earth. It turns out that it's right here only a few miles from where we live. The happiest place on earth is different of course but still kinda like the place known as the center of the earth....It's in Ecuador.

It was pretty busy, being the weekend before thanksgiving and all but we had fun. Come to think of it there were alot of guys there with their wives...and young kids. I'm glad they could find a happy place.

We pretty much did all of adventure and frontier lands and our day was over. Some of the lines were pretty long, like 45 minutes or so but they now have a pretty cool work around. You go to a kiosk and insert your park ticket and it gives you ticket with a time of day to come back and go to the front of the line through a different entrance. We used that on the long lines and then stood in the shorter lines.

Disneyland is a remarkable place. So much of it is still just the same as I remember it from when I was 12 yrs old. In some ways, like on the jungle ride, it's the anticipation of listening for the same old joke that we've been hearing for 40+ years. It's also listening and looking to see if anything has changed. There's definitely some of both.


We had a great day and came home a bit tired, but happy. As soon as we got home I set my watch. I'm going to see if our anniversary comes again next year on Nov 18th.
