Disneyland turns 60 today

Mother knew a good thing when she heard about Disneyland. We went in 1955 and once again later in 1957. I've been as an adult with a co-worker and again taking my toddler daughter. When she saw the train circling Disneyland she wanted to ride it first. We should have done that when we were thoroughly exhausted from our day. Happy Birthday Disneyland.

My favorite memory is riding the Matterhorn with Mother and Rosella. Mother's hairpins fell out leaving her long, wavy hair blowing wildly around her face, so out of character for her. We were amazed at a cabin on fire that never burned up or went out. There were American Indians too.
