Disneyland!

Starting the day after I got back from Portland, I worked all but two days for two and a half weeks. After that, I had several days off. Thursday, Melissa (Scher) and I went to Disneyland! Her friends were in town from Sacramento, so we went to meet up with them at the park. Zac was supposed to go, but wasn't feeling too well that morning. We got there a few hours later than her friends, so we started on a different ride schedule.
We met up with them a couple of times, then really ended up going our own ways to rides we hadn't been on yet. But we went on a couple rides as a group, and had dinner that night all together at Downtown Disney. Scher and I had it down at the park, we rode everything we wanted to at least once (except for Splash Mountain which was closed, and Thunder Mountain which broke down when we got in line.) Space Mountain was awesome!
They were playing Higher Ground by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and instead of the coaster taking place in Space, it was set up like a rock concert. We did that one twice. We started the day on it, and ended the day on it.
When we bought our day tickets, they informed us that Southern California residents get 30 days to come back and go to the other park for free! So Scher and I looked at each other and said "What are you doing tomorrow?" We got about 5 hours of sleep, got up and went to California Adventure. We did the same thing with her friends that day too, meeting up a couple times, then towards the end to ride The Hollywood Tower of Terror all together. We did every big ride there that day, most at least twice. Thanks to Fast Pass and Scher's motivation to run, we did The Tower of Terror 3 times, The Maliboomer 3 times, and California Screaming (the roller coaster) 5 times! Of course we knew where the cameras were...
[What's that Scher? Was the roller coaster that good?]

They were playing Around the World by the Chili Peppers on the coaster, it was awesome. We were one of the last groups to ride the coaster that night before closing. It was a great way to end our two days at Disneyland.
Then Saturday happened and it was like we were coming off a two day high. Needless to say, we were a bit depressed. Scher was due at work at 7am, but woke up at 7:15. I just moped around the apartment. Scher had given up alcohol and movies for lent, so that night at Midnight, we went to Adam's place to watch Serenity in HD and have a glass of port.
I slept in Sunday. I almost went to the Bel Air church gathering at the Hollywood Bowl for Easter Service, but I really did not want to be in that size crowd for church. I was just looking forward to service that night at The Rock Church in Manhattan Beach. The service there was great. I love the worship, and the pastor there is really cool. After service we went straight to see Jason in a long form improv show. It was a good long weekend.
