The Happiest Place On Earth?

Hi, this is Scott. Heather and I decided that we need at least one dedicated day off a week, so this past Monday was it. So to truly try and "get away from it all", we decided that Disneyland was the place to go. We arrived at about 10:30 a.m., and were met by a long, long line of cars waiting to pay their $14 to park. I looked at Heather and asked, "Why aren't all of these people at work today? And look, there are school-age kids here too! Their parents should be arrested for keeping them from school!" I think we had expected to be the only visitors there today, and have the legendary Disneyland customer service lavished on only us!

Well, once we got in there was definitely more elbow room than was first expected. We wandered Main Street and decided to see if "our bench" was open. It was, but it was in the sun that time of day, so we pushed on. "I haven't been to the Tiki Room for a long time" I told Heather, so there we found ourselves in that faux tropical hut listening to the birds (and flowers and tiki statues) sing the same song over and over and over. After leaving the show and trying not to hum that unforgettable tune, we decided to go to another ride where another unforgettable tune is blasted at us all the time. No, not "It's A Small World", but the one where generations of kids have learned to talk like bucaneers. Yo Ho!

We stayed there for about 7 hours (a record without kids) and had a great time. I had almost forgotten how awesome it is to go on a date with my wife, just the 2 of us (and thousands more), laughing and enjoying each others company. I thank the Lord for every minute I get to spend with Heather, whether "on duty" of "off duty"!

Live To Give.
