| finally here |
A trip to Disneyland is just the ticket for someone who doesn't want
to grow up. Derek says its for newlyweds or old people or families with
little kids. I say its for anyone. Despite not wanting to go, he had a
great time. A threat on the morning of our departure helped sway him in
the proper direction: No Satellite, No Internet, No x-box, No car
keys, and I would call a babysitter. Tyler got home late from his last
basketball game in North Sanpete (we lost again). No one was packed and
ready to go, but we arrived at our awesome motel around 6pm, 9 hours
after leaving UT.
I wanted to go to Cars Land. It was awesome,
however, Cameron didn't like Radiator Racers. Too much jerking, up and
down, dark and loud noises, and too fast. I thought the second time
would be better, but it wasn't. Maybe another time. The weather was ok,
not too warm, rainy on Sunday (50 degrees) with a gradual warming trend
that hit 70 on the day we left. The Mater's tractor ride was way cooler
than Luigi's flying tires.
I went on Tower of Terror, California
Screamin' rollercoaster, two rides I never thought I would go on. We got
Tyler on the Matterhorn, Jeremy loved that as well. Indiana Jones was
great! It was perfect to be able to say to the boys, "go have fun, meet
us back here at ...." or stay at the motel and we'll be back later."

After 3 days of disneyland we spent a few hours in LA. We got to go to a train museum in Griffin Park. Its a huge park with everything from horses, trains, and hiking trails.

| found a train museum in los angeles |
then of course we had to find the hollywood sign.
We even got to see the real space shuttle. It was so cool. The California Science Center is a quite an awesome place to visit. Wish we'd had more time.
