mom & ray at Downtown Disney 13 June 2005

Had breakfast with Pamela's mom & ray at their hotel. before heading off to their trip to San Diego & the Zoo! (that was the day of the Tsunami warning that was later canceled & the Eureka Earthquake that we felt down in Anaheim later that day.). Breakfast was very reasonable but was missing something.. (it was in the lobby of the hotel.. ) I'm guessing walls & that cozy greasy spoon feeling.. hee! =) Also it was pretty noisy there with all the hussle & bustle of the lobby.. Still, we were glad to have a last meal before they headed off on the next stage of their adventure.. (oh, and yeah mom? You look great! =) ..ed. pamela).
