Disneyland & World of Color

Well I was a lucky girl this past weekend. 
I ended up at the happiest place on earth. Yes that's right Disneyland!!

Since I finally walked at graduation I had been itching to pull the " You just graduated now what are you going to do? Go to Disneyland!" saying
 It seems only fitting that the day before graduation Disney California Adventure opened up their new water show, World of Color.  After seeing the concept art last year I was  little pessimistic about the outcome but Disney did it.  The show was AMAZING. Of course, very colorful.

 During show- Under the Sea
 Post show-- warning you will get wet if you stand close.

Disneyland will forever have a place in my heart. The attractions we saw or road were:
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Haunted Mansion
Splash Mountain
Finding Nemo
Tortilla Factory
Boudin Bread Bakery Tour
Toy Story Mania
California Scream'n
Hollywood Hotel 
Aladdin 
Captian EO
Space Mountain
Tea Cups
Matterhorn
World of Color

Triathlon #2

I finished my second triathlon.
 This one seems like less of an accomplishment than the last one. It was sprint distance -- 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike and 10K run. Swim and bike went well but my run and transitions were slow. It looks like I need to go train on the track more, even though I don't like it.

Before the swim
I saw dolphins before the swim which always makes me happy.
  On the bike

The results- 1:13:12 (hr:min:sec)
 I finished 3th in my age group!

I hope I get to do this triathlon, again. It is exciting that I got to do another triathlon close to where I live.  The best part was my parents came to watch. Now I have plenty of sudo embarrassing pictures of me racing.

Bottom line triathlons are addicting and it's great to hear your parents cheer you on.
