Somehow I forgot to mention the best part of my recent trip to The OC – a late night adventure to Disneyland!
On our last night in town our organization hosted a final dinner function at The Orange County Mining Co. This picture does it no justice at all. The restaurant has a gorgeous view that overlooks Orange County and LA. It was lovely.

After the dinner, we made a mad dash to Disneyland. Due to their early closing hours during the week, this was our only opportunity to visit Disney (and to use the tickets we purchased before our trip even started). We were determined to at least step foot through the gates.
We finally made it to the park around 10:00 pm and stayed till it was closing up around midnight. The weather was perfect and the lines were short. Just my style. Plus, just two days earlier, the Captain EO 3D movie with Michael Jackson re-opened for the first time since the 1990s. Score!
It’s a small world. The song is still stuck in my head.
The next morning our airport shuttle picked us up very, very early. With only three hours of MUCH needed sleep, we were on our way back to Arkansas. Even so, the adventure was well worth all those yawns on the plane ride home.
