Locked-Down
California has been locked down pretty tightly. In October, we were allowed to move around a little more freely. Alana and I caught word that Disneyland was making some moves to re-open so we headed down to Anaheim to check it out for ourselves....
First, we stopped by Knotts Berry Farm. The Marketplace was open but it was deserted. I pulled my mask down to smile for a picture and immediately was reprimanded by a worker from the Marketplace. "Keep your mask on at all times!" he yelled. Here are some pictures of the Marketplace area and an empty Knotts Berry Farm.
Then we headed over to Downtown Disney, which was open! Free parking, by the way.
It was bustling with people which was so nice to see. I took some videos walking through Downtown Disney.
I was sipping on a lemonade (I had purchased there) as I walked downtown when again, I was reprimanded. "We ask you to stand to the side of the walkway while you enjoy your beverage," barked a cast member. That was when I left.
We headed over to Newport Beach and enjoyed a nice walk along the beach. We finished up our Orange County trip with some shopping. Can't go wrong with that!
So what else have we been able to do during lockdown? Here are some pictures...
Bike Rides...
Walks...
Making mom pose for pictures...
California goes back and forth between being locked-down and super locked-down. Even though I feel like my freedoms have been taken away, I feel secure in the freedom that comes with living for God. I think back to the moments when these pictures were taken and can only be thankful!
Psalm 104: 24 "O Lord, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast Thou made them all; the earth is full of thy riches." Overall, if there is a place one has to lock down in, I venture to say California is a pretty good spot.
