Here we are in Ventura, CA in July 2023. We booked the weekend to run a 10k (our longest race since Feb 2020) and luckily were able to escape the heat wave at home for a couple of days. Come with us to see a suite tour of the Marriot Ventura, a look at Ventiki (Ventura's tiki bar), shopping at Aloha on Main, and finally that 10k. Enjoy!
Magic Mountain Mondays #45: Speedy Cheese
Purgatory for operators.
In August of 1995, I took a bunch of photos (on film no less) at Six Flags Magic Mountain using an inexpensive camera. I was working as an Operations supervisor at the time, and the purpose of the project was to create a slide show for an employee appreciation party for our Operations staff. I’ve carted these slides around for over 25 years and I finally had them digitally transferred this year. About 2/3s of them aren’t available for posting because they are crew pictures and I have no way to request permission to post them. But I do have 50+ available that are just various shots of the park. Enjoy this time capsule from August 1995.
Magic Mountain Mondays #44: Jet Stream drop
Same as before. Mmmm...drop.

Disney Wish March 2023: Day 4. Castaway Cay Day! Sun, sea, and sand...and bikes! (so many bikes).
Our first time! On Castaway Cay! But seriously, it lived up to the hype. This *is* vacation time - a quiet island, blue blue sea, sand, activities...on and on. I'd happily take this port twice on a cruise. For such a small island, we sure ran out of time before we did all we wanted to. Enjoy!
Before the Wish...Bricks and Spaaace!
Disney Wish March 2023: Day 1. Get aboard, take a mini tour, and sail away!
