California Adventure

We were able to go to California Adventure 2 weeks after we went to Disneyland. California Adventure was new and shiny but it is not Disneyland. There is still a sense of nostalgia and warmth at Disneyland which isn't at California Adventure. California Adventure is just too new and too much into the post-modern culture. There was a show which was called California Dreamin which was a little bit occultic for my tastes. It had Whoopi Goldberg as the California "Spirit" who is there to guide you and give you advice any time you ran into adversity. It also had two big idles at either side of the stage which came alive and spoke to the audience. If some ancients ever saw these statues they would have worshipped them as gods. It is so easy to imagine about the image of the beast coming to life in the temple and being worshipped in the Book of Revelation. The best ride I liked was California Soarin which took you flying all over the state. The worst part of the trip was the first ride I went on with 2 of my kids, California Screamin. It was a roller coaster type of ride which left me feeling nauseous for most to the morning. It almost ruined my whole trip for me. The best part of trip was being able to spend time with my family for the day.
