A Fun & Exciting Road Trip Rambling Toward Disney!
You’ll remember back in March we experienced the Road Trip from Hell. Bravely we hit the road again in September, hoping Mother Nature was through with us and that Murphy’s Law would take pity on us. They did and we had a wonderful time. 
Spent a night in Las Vegas, NV with friends who threw a quick get together for us then it was on to Los Angeles. What is in LA you ask? Disneyland where they start celebrating Halloween September 20th, my kind of place, and Universal Studios of course! First we took off on the Monorail to get a bird’s eye view of Disneyland, then rode the Star Wars Experience. What a rush!
At Disneyland, my hubby and I negotiated our way through the ghosts, ghouls, fairies, the Beast and Maleficent at Micky’s Halloween Party. Did I mention dancing with the Pixar Pals 
at the Halloween Dance? Then it was on to the Headless Horseman Rides Again pre-parade, the Frightfully Fun Electric light parade and topped off the evening with A Villainous Surprise in the Skies Fireworks display over the castle. Yep, we’re just kids at heart and Halloween is my favorite holiday!
The next morning, it was off to Universal Studios and Wizarding World of Harry Potter where we selected our wands, were sorted into Gryffindor, and 
got Tee Shirts to prove it. LOL Transformers was next then onto Jurassic Park where we avoided being eaten by a dinosaur. By that time a ride on the Universal Studios tour tram looked great. Though I wasn’t too sure about slowing down at the Psyco house or sorting through the plane crash scene but the back lot sets were incredible!
Family obligations were next on the agenda and we left our fantasy land gliding into the reality of Northern California for a few days. As we began our trip back to Colorado, we rendezvoused in the enchanted land 
of fellow Wild Rose Author, Mary Morgan, and lunched at the Black Bear Café. Not a Fae warrior in sight. Darn it!
But Mother Nature was not to be ignored. We encountered a bug storm of epic proportions in Northern Nevada, 20 miles of smashed bug guts covering the windshield until we had to stop and clean off the bugs so we could see where we were going. I kid you not the truck and trailer were covered. Wish I’d taken 
pictures that night. Anyway, it was snow and sleet in Wyoming, but we made it to our destination in Riverton, Wyoming where the morning dawned in bright sunlight. Spent a day with friends and left the next morning to arrive in Colorado totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, “WOW what a ride!”
