Disneyland Dad

A few years ago after a separation and divorce my ex called me a Disneyland Dad. At first I didn't like this but I feel now it's just her opinion not my own. I'm writing now as I just got home from of all places a visit to Disneyland with my daughter. Of course we also spent the week with my brother and his family which was nice as my daughter got to spend time getting to know her uncle and aunt better as well as enjoy her cousins.

So, aside from two days enjoying the thrills of one of the greatest theme parks in the world we both found time to enjoy family as well as other great experiences. We did make it to Coronado for a short time, the beach, the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla Ca. and Mission San Juan Capistrano. I personally enjoyed each day I spent with Morgan in southern California and not just the two in Disneyland. Yes, they were a treat for the both of us but the trip was so much more than that.

It's just like the experiences I've had with children after my divorce. Yes, we have done tons and tons of fun things but we've also taken in sights and visited museums etc. which are geared for learning more than fun but seem to include fun anyway. So yes if my ex chooses to think of me as a Disneyland Dad that's fine with me because my children know that I'm so much more and ultimately, that is all that really matters now isn't it?
