Not Worth the Effort

...or Odyssey in the Odyssey
Last weekend we attended Jim Thorndyke's wedding in Redding. We decided to make a vacation of it by driving the length of the state and spending two nights at hotels in each direction: 5 different hotels in 6 nights! The kids loved it.

Here we are on the new Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster ride in Disneyland
