I'm taking the next few days off from work, flying down to LAX to meet up with my wife and daughters, who are driving in from Las Vegas.
We're going to be spending the next four days visiting Disneyland and I think Knott's Berry Farm. We haven't visited Disneyland since the summer of 2000.
I enjoy theme parks. For me, it's not a problem to stand in long lines for the rides, or even to pay the high prices for drinks and food. In return, I get to spend an entire day having fun with my family, laughing together, chatting in line about nothing much, getting a little scared before a new ride and then talking about the best parts when it's over.
The story goes that Walt Disney had two daughters that he'd take every Saturday to "do things" - things like parks. He'd sit on the park bench eating peanuts, watching his girls play on the swings and other things, and there he got the idea for Disneyland. A place where families could play together.
