Back in LA (Part 2) Disney!

Friday, August 11th, 2006

Imgp0674Day 2 in LA, well… really we drove for an hour to Anaheim to go to…whereelse… Disneyland! It’s not my first time to the land of Mickey Mouse. But it was good to visit a Disneyland where Mickey speaks English…. My first Disney experience I heard them talking in Japanese!!! Yes… it was in Disney Tokyo.

So here we are taking a rare shot of all of us right at the entrance… we probably have spoiled the picture for the little girl by our left side…

It was 2 decades too late I guess. Disney is really for kids. I think it would really be an experience for my future kids to go to Disney. Yes, it is crowded but the world it creates and surrounds people with is truly awesome. Disney likes to think that he doesn’t sell rides, tickets, entertainment… but rather they sell "Dreams". What do you think?

Img_5079So, from feeling like a kid again, we just had to have something totally different. We went to Hooters for dinner! Hehe. And as you can see from the picture, Jeffrey had a happy first time experience. He kept the tissue where she wrote her name "Roxy". >:D  j/k

I guess Hooters restaurant differ where you go. I mean, here in CA it seems that they have more gimiks for the girls to entertain the crowd. I haven’t seen that in OH. :)

That’s my LA trip in a nutshell!

Back in LA (Part 1)

Saturday, August 5th, 2006

Almost exactly a year since I first visited LA, I cameImg_4660 back this past weekend to met up with college friends. John who stays in Pasedena invited us over this year - me, Orson and Jeffrey(formerly known as Taxing). Yep… that’s them on that picture..

Unlike last year, I was pleasantly suprised that it was actually cooler in LA this time. Definitely, better than the heatwave we have in Cincinnati. So I enjoyed it more this year.

So here we are on our first day out… at Universal Studio. And this timeImg_4723, I went inside in to enjoy the park. Lots of interesting sites… like the studio tour where we saw a lot of the different studio sets used in old and new TV shows and movies. Example, do you recognize who’s house shown in the picture on the right? If you’ve been watching "Gabriel", yes, that’s her house in Wisteria Lane in Desperate housewives. We asked if we could drop by and meet Eva but she wasn’t home that day… :..(

… more to come
