The giant wheel of doom!

If you’ve been reading my blog you already know what Mickey’s Fun Wheel (above) did to my family.  Here’s a brief recap:  In March of this year my family and I went to Disneyland and California Adventure.  We rode the Fun Wheel (or “Evil Wheel” as my family came to refer to it).  I enjoyed it and my daughter and wife went to their mental happy places and my son screamed and cried.

Why am I posting it today?  The high school year is coming to a close (here in British Columbia, Canada) and I’m wishing that we were going back to Disneyland and California Adventure for the holidays.  I’m also planning a trip to “Playland at the PNE” here in Vancouver for all of my Wolf Pack students (student leadership group) as a reward for their hard work throughout the year.  We’ll ride the roller coasters and take a trip on the Hellevator (or eight as I usually do).  My favorite ride is the Coaster, a wooden roller coaster built in 1958; my favorite because it’s the only coaster I’ve ever been on where I thought I might die.

Only three more days before exams.  Here’s hoping I make it.
