LONG Beach

I have been stuck in a rut for a couple of weeks now. I have two different blogs that I'm working on and neither one is coming together. I have to get certain pictures that, apparently, are not that simple to acquire. For some reason I have not been able to think of anything else, blog-wise, and I was starting to get frustrated. I just can't seem to move past these two impossible blogs. Like, if I don't finish them, I'm not allowed to move on.

Today I thought of the last two pictures that I posted on my photography page. They were cool shots that I took over the weekend at my Long Beach Convention. Then suddenly I thought...Duh!!!! Do a blog on Long Beach. I usually highlight a trip or an event and this one just cruised right by like it didn't even happen.

Speaking of cruises...

Last Hoorah

So, we like to go to Disneyland a lot...so what! Yes, we went to "The Land" once again. We have annual passes and we need to get our money's worth, right? We have the middle-of-the-road passes which means we are blocked out Saturdays, holidays and for the summer. We are totally okay with that. Who wants to deal with the crowds or the heat?

We have Disneyland down to a science. We get there before it opens, Fast Pass what we can, ride what we want before it gets too crowded, then we're out of there. This time we were done by Noon. Usually, we combine it with another reason to be down in that area so we aren't driving all the way down there just to go there.

This was our last trip of the season. We decided to go alone. Billy wanted to hold hands and all that mushy stuff. Such a romantic.

Of course, we have to have the traditional "on the tram" picture to start off the day. Usually, I am not in the pic, but since it was just us, I thought I would try my hand at the self portrait.

Tram Riders
We headed to California Adventure first and spent most of our time there.

Does this bear have a name?
After looking through my pictures of the day, I seemed to have a couple of themes going. Bronze, Rock and Water. Not on purpose. It just happened that way.

Me and Walt or is that Walt and I...whatever
A coin-filled fountain.

Abstract Squares
Oh, and Food.

Yes, they were.

Oh look, there's a sign about us!
