* Had a full day of fun planned for today. But the first item on our agenda was to cash in the Traveler's Checks we had bought in Texas. We thought we were doing the right thing and instead of using cash -- we bought Traveler's Checks. Our first hint that this might not be a good idea was when the bank had to have every employee come and watch how to issue them -- since most of them had never seen them before. After a couple of days of people not having a clue what they were and the hassle of trying to use them -- the first thing we did this morning was find a bank and cash them all in. Lesson learned!
* 30 minute drive to the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda. The grounds where this library are were absolutely gorgeous, quiet, and serene. Not one of the bigger libraries we have visited.
Highlights: Marine 1 helicopter that President Nixon used and the house where he was raised. Amazingly enough this house is located in it's ORIGINAL place as it was when he was growing up.
* Next stop......Disneyland! Arrived at Disneyland about 1:30pm and stayed until 7pm. Hadn't been here in over 15 years and what a big difference it was going as an adult with no kids. Secretly, I missed not having any kids with us -- as it was always fun experiencing Disneyland through the eyes of a child. We rode, we ate, we watched, and we got tired! But what a fun way to spend the day and act like a kid again! We decided the next trip we take to Disneyland will include our grandchildren (someday!)
* Tried to play Live Team Trivia at a local bar in Fullerton, but they cancelled because of Monday Night Football. We hung out for awhile and watched the football game, but disappointed that we didn't get to show those California people how smart us Texan's are!
* Dinner was ham and cheese sandwiches that we made after a late night run to Ralph's Market. It was nice to take the food back and just relax around the hotel room and plan the last day's adventures!
