Back Into History With The Lane Victory

Six times a year, during the summer, the SS Lane Victory leaves port for an all day adventure in order to teach people about the Merchant Marine in WWII.  It was fun, entertaining, and educational!  A great way to spend a Saturday!  What a wonderful day with great friends, new found knowledge and a super day!  We sailed to Catalina, were attacked by the German Air Force, attended a solemn memorial, and went to a museum!  Life is good.  Please joint us in the adventure….

The movie kept us laughting and kept us thinking!

Woody, Buzz and the whole gang are back. As their owner Andy prepares to depart for college, his loyal toys find themselves in daycare where untamed tots with their sticky little fingers do not play nice. So, it’s all for one and one for all as they join Barbie’s counterpart Ken, a thespian hedgehog named Mr. Pricklepants and a pink, strawberry-scented teddy bear called Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear to plan their great escape. Written by Walt Disney Studios

Andy is now 17 and ready to head off to college, leaving Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the toy-box gang to ponder their uncertain futures. When the toys are accidentally donated to the Sunnyside Daycare center they’re initially overjoyed to once again be played with, but their enthusiasm quickly gives way to horror as they discover the true nature of the establishment under the rule of the deceptively welcoming “Lotso” Bear. Now, all of the toys must band together in one final, crazy scheme to escape their confines and return home to Andy.

World Of Color

We went to Old Ranch to drop off the photo disks and then Sue decided we had a few hours on our hands so she called California Adventure and made reservation to dine in the park which gives us ring-side seats to the new World Of Color display! Please join us!
