Disneyland 2006

Erin and the Castle, originally uploaded by jawsmurphy.

i managed to run away from chemistry for the weekend (again), and this time my adventures took me to the (second) happiest place on earth. well, it's pretty close. vegas *is* pretty happy.......

despite jeff and i having the plague, we managed to have a great time. we met up with the healey-wolf clan, and jeff practiced all of his new camera skills taking photos of me and dylan. and i was reminded of how magical disney can be by witnessing the looks of amazement and wonder in dylan's eyes. which, or course, brings out the kid in me. (which is never hiding very far)

after a morning of kiddie rides, we met up with the rest of the pants party: jess, holly, laura, and melissa, with a couple of significant others along for the ride. at that point, all bets were off. we had a blast running around the park, trying to pack as much as we possibly could into one fun-filled day.

here's my quick recap:
1. the new space mountain rocks....the music definitely makes the ride more fun
2. buzz lightyear's astro blasters is damn fun (81,900 on my first try.....boo yah!!)
3. the 50th fireworks show is truly amazing, and of course as a techie i was in heaven....
4. jeff looks really cute when he's pretending to be a monkey
5. i miss my girls, and hope that there will be another pants party in the not-too-distant future


now i'm back in lab, trying to be healthy enough to think straight so i can get some work done. i feel like i'm mostly puttering around, doing little odds and ends. i think i'm just scared to jump in and start reactions, cause i don't want to mess up. plus there's always the possibility of blowing stuff up, which, while entertaining momentarily, would really suck.

oh, and i passed another cumulative exam...so i only have one more to go, and 8 more tries. woo hoo!!!

that's it for now. once i get the rest of the photos off of my camera, i'll post them. and i have to give all the credit to jeff, since he was camera man for the day. = )
