So we are down to the wire for the BIG road trip....I'm starting to have my pre-vacation jitters. There's not much left to do, but I still feel like I'm missing something. I've been working on packing, still too much crap. Need to clean out the cooler and start picking up snacks for the road. But despite all the "other" stuff that's still needing to be done, all I can think of is, OMG we're going to be in Disneyland in a week! I know my dad asked if we ever thought of vacationing anywhere else, of course, its not like we're skipping out on seeing southern California. I just thoroughly enjoy Disneyland, what's wrong with that?
So I guess that leads to the BIG decisions, like, what to snack on first, what ride to go on first, what characters to see, what type of photos will I take this time? Who knew it could be so complicated, ;)

Humanity Parade
A good friend on mine is a flight attendant, and that said, she sees some what I shall refer to as "interesting" people in her travels. I love her insights into humanity. She posted a photo album last week that reminded me of the photos Lilo took of tourists in "Lilo and Stitch". It was entertaining and enlightening. I also like to people watch. I do it a lot. However, now I think I will do it with camera in hand. I was looking for a photo theme for our upcoming trip and I think, thanks to K, I will focus my photo taking on painting a portrait of the hoards of Disney tourists in their humanity parade.
For the past few years we have developed a routine in the park. We get there fairly early, get a cup of coffee on Mainstreet and camp out for a morning people safari and then repeat mid afternoon, and at park closing. You see some of the same people and I am fascinated by their daily change in appearance and demeanor. The typical theme park visiting family is ill-prepared for the day to day hustle and bustle of the American family vacation. No one has a plan, and there is no pre-trip training, amateurs. This year I will make it my mission to dutifully photo document this "Humanity Parade".
