We just completed our second long road trip of the year. We usually only do 1 long trip a year but a family reunion in Las Vegas in June resulted in 2 long trips this year. This one was to SoCal for Disneyland and San Diego. As an explanation my wife and I grew up in Long Beach CA when Disneyland was a local attraction. I hadn?t been to Disneyland in 25 years and my wife in 40 years. We figured it was time to make the trip while we still could. We left central NC on 9/14 and after 6 overnights we arrived in Anaheim CA on 9/20. Our granddaughter, daughter and son-in-law flew in from PA and joined us for 3 wonderful days at Disneyland. The kids few home on Saturday and we continued to San Diego where we spent 2 days at the San Diego Zoo. It is still the amazing place I remember albeit a lot more $ than I remember. Our next stop was Palm Desert CA where we visited old friends. On to Queen Creek AZ to visit my brother and sister-in-law. We headed home on 10/1 and 5 overnights later we arrived back home on 10/6. It was a long (23 days and 5,400 miles) exhausting but wonderful trip. Time to start thinking about next year?s road trip.
