I am usually good with car sickness, I don't get it unless I try reading or something. I am sure after this trip I will be able to convince Dillon to go down there again, so maybe next trip we can come back that way or something. 26 hours will be very long, but it's something that we haven't done before, so I think it will be ok.

I love Titanic! And I was wondering what happened to the rest of that TR!

Or just one trip drive up the coast a little way to like Malibu or San Simeon to see some on the coastline.

Yes that would be cool! As long as flying stays as expensive as it has been, we will be driving whenever we go anywhere. Except maybe if we decide to go to WDW, which I want to do. Or back to Mexico or something of course.

I know, I thought Laurie's drive was long.

Heck, I still think 6 hours is long. Not that it took me 6 hours one time ...

For some reason, I thought I finished it. Guess not. I'll have some stuff up soon, I hope. Depends on how long my account wants to take to upload.

Yeah, I think flying is the way to go if you are going to those places.

We stop a lot on the way down for my mom and kids. When it is Scotty and I we don't take nearly as long.

I just remembered that we need passports now!! I find it so silly we need them to drive across the border.

I know. I thought about that myself. 9/11 and all that.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Yeah I guess a lot has happened for them to make that decision. It's just a lot of money to get passports, so i miss the times that we didn't need them to cross the border.

I can see how that would happen. When it's just me I like to drive straight through.

At least you remember now rather than when it's too late!

 

[kaoden39]

Well ladies I am off to bed. I will chat with you tomorrow.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

So true!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Good night! I am off to bed shortly too. Just finishing up TS2!

 

[Belle Ella]

Good night to you both!

My poor Baby!
June 17, 2007​

It's hard going back to San Diego after only 2 days at Disneyland. But at least I would be going back. I couldn't afford 2 nights in Anaheim since I splurged and stayed at the Grand Californian as a birthday present to myself. I left earlier enough to get back to the beach house at a decent hour and spend the evening with the family. My uncle made us all dinner (BBQ!) and we talked about what we would be doing the next day. We decided that the girls -- meaning myself, my aunt, my sister and my cousin would go to the San Diego Zoo on Sunday

And we would take my car since it was more logical than the big blue bus.

My aunt hadn't ever ridden in a car with me before, but my mother had told her plenty of stories. I don't know if I still do this, but I tend to talk to myself when I drive. Mostly, it's just mumbling about directions. I don't know, but my aunt got a kick out of it.

Here is a photo of the cousins outside the zoo:

Here's the main thing that stands out in my mind about that day: It was hot!! It was so hot and sunny that I ended up with a heat rash before we finally left. I was pretty miserable, but couldn't really do much at that point. I love the San Diego Zoo. You can easily spend the whole day there which you are hard pressed to do at any Zoo in Northern California, although I do love the San Francisco Zoo with all my heart.

Of course I took tons of photos of the awesome animals. Someday, when I upload the photos to an image host I may share the album link, but I feel like I would be cheating to post some of them My TR deserves lots and lots of Disneyland photos! And I will get back to those eventually.

I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening relaxing with a book in the shade. I probably should have been indoors because of the heat rash but it was vacation! I did go to sleep early since I was planning on driving back to Anaheim early the next morning to get my 3rd day at Disneyland!! Too bad I couldn't get a restful night of sleep. I had parked my car out in the front of the beach house where the big blue bus normally was parked but everyone had gone out for a little while. While I was sleeping my sister was moving my car to the parking space in the back and well .. she banged up my baby!

So my first car got her first scratch at the hands of my sister. Going from this ...

... to this ...

I had no idea she was moving my car at all. I just remember being woken up because somebody was in hysterics. She was freaking out because she thought I was going to go on a murderous rampage or something. According to my mom I came out, gave her a hug, and then went back to sleep.

All I know is it's almost 3 years later, my car is paid off, and other than painting over it so it didn't rust through my poor car is still not fixed. I hate looking at the passenger side now (especially after my own tiny little bender last year). She said she would pay to get it fixed, but that's never going to happen. I have come to accept that fact.

When you're going back to Disneyland in the morning, nothing can phase you apparently.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Yay! More trip report! Sorry to hear about your poor car!

 

[kaoden39]

I love the San Diego zoo. I haven't been for years. Maybe next year.

Oh your poor baby! My poor Stittch has a little owie too. I was trying to back out of the garage in our oold place and there was someone parked in the no parking area. I turned a little too sharp and crunch.

We've been craving ice cream for days now. I told the kid to remind me today when I get home and we'll go get some. lol

Golly, you'd think it was humid here today or something. My hair is slightly unruly today. haha I'm sure I'll be pulling it out of my face before too awful long. lol

The San Diego Zoo is totally on our list of must do's.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

This thread is sure quiet today!

 

[Belle Ella]

I know, huh? My interne has been really spotty this morning so I haven't been able to get on the DIS until right now! Sometimes I hate the technology that I am addicted too! It doesn't help that I couldn't fall alseep last night until well after midnight so I'm all groggy and sleepy today.

It's not a good day. Not at all. Why can't I be on Spring Break now instead of next week?

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Aw, sorry you are having a bad day! And I know how you are feeling about not being able to get on DIS. Last week when they were doing the upgrades and said it was going to be two hours, I almost had a panic attack! Haha, no not really, but I was having a boring day at work that day, and I had nothing else to do, so I was upset at it being down.

Hope your day gets better! It's a short week this week! That is if you get Friday off too?
