Every detail was thought out at given immense care! Disneyland was a lot of fun...I hadn't been there since it opened...about 56 years ago...Gosh I seem so old!!..:) I can understand your wanting to spend time with relatives and the ocean.

Beautiful painting. Three years ago ...Hi Theresa,<br /><br />Beautiful painting. Three years ago Steven and I were in a hotel right across from Disneyland in California, and we never visited the park. We were too eager to spend as much time as possible with relatives and at the ocean. Looking back it seems funny that we didn't go to Disneyland. I'm glad you did.<br /><br />xoxoxoxoxoBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233422922314929310.post-32254390773280033262010-04-10T20:36:11.513-05:002010-04-10T20:36:11.513-05:00Wow...complicated set up!
