California Adventure

What a weekend. We again had a busy, yet exciting, weekend. This time we headed down to California to have a little fun!

We left on Thursday evening with our friends Brian and Cindy. It was suppose to be 5 of us, but at the last minute our friend Daniel decided he was too overwhelmed with work and school and could not make it. Too bad for him, he missed an awesome trip!

First thing on our agenda was a trip to Disneyland and California Adventure bright and early on Friday morning. We were able to get in right when the park opened at 8am and we stayed ALL DAY! We were able to see and do everything and that was great. We closed the park down leaving at 11:11pm. That was a full day for sure. The crowds were light and the weather was great. It would have been a perfect day it we would not have gotten soaked on Splash Mountain and taken all day to dry off.... oh well, we know better for new time. My favorite part was the fireworks of course! I love fireworks and Disney sure knows how to put on a show.

Saturday we decided we were going to head to Downtown LA for a bit and see Chinatown and also eat at my favorite restaurant ever... Chinese Friends. It was fabulous!!! After a little bit of sightseeing (and a lot of traffic - gotta love LA) we came back and got ready for the main event of the evening. Knott's Scary Farm. This was quite the event. It was so much fun and we all enjoyed ourselves for sure. Brian and Cindy didn't know what to expect but said they are ready to go back next year for sure. There were a lot of people there but it wasn't too bad. We made it out alive, even though we did pass a couple chainsaws once or twice during the night!!!

Sunday we had a great breakfast from our hostess with the mostess and then we drove up to Santa Monica just to take a look around there before we headed home.
It was a great vacation. We are all very tired and sore from all of the walking that we did and you should hear Dan's voice (or lack thereof!) But it was fun that is for sure.

I wish I'd known you were headed that way!!! My dad works at Knott's now, though he never works Scary Farm. I haven't been in years, but it brings back fun memories! Glad to know you had fun.

That seriously sounds like so much fun! I am super jealous of you guys, and I know Steve is too! That sounds way better than what I did all day Saturday, and that was work, yuck! I'm glad you had fun though.
