I don't think we planned to be awake to watch the Monaco GP, 1am and trying to work out how to convince the UK ITV streaming service that we were actually in the UK and not the US. If anyone ever wants to know how to do this just ask - Anyone?  No One - ok.

Our morning started with a 30 minute drive to the Disney Resort in Anaheim, California.  The area has changed a lot over the last 10 years.  The area is very much more built up, new Car Parks, and a new theme park.  As we had never done the California Adventure and had done the Magic Kingdom in California, Florida and France - we figured we would go for the new park.

The Park is based on California, and a number of places we will visit over the next few days, we started on a ride which made you feel like you were flying through a 360 degree movie of California.  We also went on a Roller Coaster called California Screem'in, Caroline wasn't sure - but with promise of lunch she agreed, she tells me she had her eye's closed for all but 4 periods of the ride and missed the 360 degree loop.

We pottered around the park for the rest of the day having a good Disney time, watched the Pixar parade, and headed home back to the madness of LA driving, nothing brings you faster out of Never Never land. 

I promise if there had been Mickey I would have got a picture taken, but alas he was busy.... :-)

Distance Traveled To Date: 120 miles

Today we head off to Barstow and a bit of Route 66.
