THE CANADA/USA TRIP - Chapter Three: L.A. - 1

Day 15 (April 12) - CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE

Welcome to L.A.

Land of 8 lane freeways.
Where cars average a speed of 140kph.
Making changing lanes loads of fun.


We stayed at the practical Best Western Anaheim Inn.



How practical?
Well... it's WALKING DISTANCE to the happiest place on EARTH!

DISNEYLAND!


We were actually supposed to go shopping on Easter Sunday and hit the outlet stores up north.
However, ALL STORES were CLOSED.
Duh..
Easter Sunday.
What were we thinking?

No way were we going to lay the day to waste so we decided to cough up the extra dough (MAJOR COUGH COUGH COUGH) and take the 2 day Disneyland Theme Park Deal that includes day passes to California Adventure and Disneyland.

We decided to hit CALI ADVENTURE first.


We checked out A BUG'S LAND.






And the moved on to catch the show at the Disney PLAYHOUSE.
Nice show-- perfect for Cara.


Afterwards, we hopped on the Monsters INC ride



and the Grizzly River Rafting Thingy


where Zachy and I got really drenched!

The best ride of C.A. though is the TOY STORY - Midway Mania 4D Ride.
In fact -- it even beats out all the other rides in DISNEYLAND!


Definitely a "not to miss"/"let's line up here first" attraction.

You wear real cool 3d glasses


and then they add other physical effects like the wind blowing etc while you shoot at various targets to accumulate points.







We then proceeded to check out the cool Paradise Pier. And rode other rides.









BEST BUY?
Why my new MICKEY MOUSE "Nightmare Before Christmas" EAR HAT!

Oh btw..
Cara's Fave Ride?
Her Disney Stroller!
Hahahahahaahaha!
