Disney and Grease!
 |
Bob, who stayed with us for the better part of last
year, is appearing in a production of Grease in Los Angeles.
So we loaded up the car and left early Monday
morning to see Bob perform! |
 |
A quick six hours later we checked into the hotel in
Redondo Beach. Grease is at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, about
fifteen minutes south of LAX airport. |
 |
Bob's parents, Bob and Maureen were also in town to
catch the show. We had a nice dinner with them Monday evening in Beverly
Hills. Thanks Bob! |
 |
Since Bob was busy with the folks and we
had a day to kill, we decided to go to Disneyland instead of the local mall
on Tuesday. (With Berlynn, Disney is cheaper than the mall!)
Of course what did we do when we got there before the
park opened? We went shopping! |
 |
Soon we were on Berlynn's favorite
ride, Soaring over California. She saved a seat for me! |
 |
Most of the time it poured, which made
the lines for the rides very short. The sun did come out for a little while
- yes, we went on the roller coaster!
|
 |
We got to see Goofy as well. He's
hamming it up with Berlynn! |
 |
Speaking of hamming it up with Berlynn,
this is the place to do it. The Hollywood backlot in California Adventure. |
 |
Then we went across the plaza to
Disneyland - yes, this is the place! |
 |
The rain kept the large crowds away and
with our raincoats, it didn't bother us a bit! |
 |
We did finally get a little wet, a hot
cup of coffee tasted really good. Look at the water drops in the water! No
Disney special effects required! |
 |
That night, after drying off in the
hotel, we saw Bob in Grease. It was a great show and he was the best one on
stage! He's getting ready for his opening number in his Sonny costume! |
 |
Early the next morning we headed for
home again. But, one major task was completed. I rode the first roller
coaster ever in my entire life. (It was a goal to accomplish before I turned
50!) Berlynn? Well, she's an old pro at coasters... |
