Well, it happened again......

Ok, so I've been in the LA area this week on business. Some of you might recall I was here in Cypress back in February and I made the decision to take a solo trip to DL but didn't want to feel guilty about going without the family.

Well, I guess that decision has stayed with me. And, it's no coincidence that I booked my hotel in Cypress this time even though I was visiting an office in a different city. So, I just got back to my hotel a little while ago after taking my 2nd solo trip to DL in 4 months. I finished up work early and had most of the day to goof off. What better way to do it than to go to DL, right?

It was a pretty nice day at the park, although a tad on the busy side. The weather was perfect. Unfortunately, the fireworks show was stopped 3/4 of the way through it, though. Instead of being set up near the hub, I actually parked my can over near NOS right on the water with a view of the Mark Twain and BTTMR. Not a bad place at all to see the aerial shots. And yes, I had my camera and tripod with me. I'll be posting some pics soon but it might be a few days until after I get back home to Texas.

So anyway, I just wanted to pass along that I was in the happy place today. It was a blast!

I love solo trips! I just took one a couple of weeks ago, and earlier in March (my company is based in Irvine). I'm bringing the family along in July (4 weeks from now!!) - and those times are absolutely wonderful - but there's just something about being there by yourself and you don't have to have a consensus of what you want to do or eat, or when to take bathroom breaks, etc, etc.

I can't wait to see your pictures. I did my first trip report and photos for my May trip (stopher1's SOLO DL Trip_May 18 & 19) - it's pretty long and detailed, but I had a blast. Being over 2100 miles away does make it difficult - but those work trips sure help!! It's sure nothing like when we lived 10 minutes away... but we take what we can get nowadays...

How fun! I can't wait to see your pictures!

I just don't think that I could have fun on a solo trip, I don't even like going to the grocery store by myself!!

I would LOVE to go with just DH & myself though!

I didn't realize you were so far away from Disneyland! I'm glad you get the chance to go, here and there. Good stuff!
