Anaheim, California

Flew into LAX on Monday AM. The girls checked out shopping on Robertson Drive, home of the expensive Kitson stores ($495 for a sweatshirt!). Went to the Santa Monica Pier and had lunch at the end of the pier at Mariasol. Strolled down Venice beach to check out all the weirdos.

Spent all day Tuesday at Disneyland. Had the best Monte Cristo sandwich yet at the Orleans Cafe.

The bike parade turned out to be a real bust. Turns out Disney wouldn't let the kids ride (or even bring) their bikes in the park, so all they could do is walk around in their kits. Plus, you had to have park tickets to do the parade. Only about a dozen or so kids showed up, mostly locals with season passes from the looks of it. What a let down.

The TT is Wednesday, Crit Thursday, and RR Friday. We plan to watch the crit, and do a little recon of the other courses, since they will probably be in Cali next year too.

Did you happen to see a guy with a turban-on roller blades-with a guitar while at Venice? He's been there for years!!!

OMG. He was the first character we saw. He was following a family around hoping for a donation. Too funny.

I remember the hundreds of homeless people along the park area kinda uphill from the ocean in Santa Monica.
