--------------------------------------------------------
This post is long overdue, sorry for all of those that have been waiting for the Cali update. I hope you have about an hour to get through all of the pictures and my short novel below!!!
Last month Ry and I went with the Lim clan to DISNEYLAND!!! We also hit Sea world and Universal, fun stuff!!! We arrived on Sunday, checked into the "Marriott-Newport Beach", and then we unpacked and ate Pizza Hut (Nice and Relaxing.) Monday was our Sea world day, We had a lot of fun, Ry even talked Brenton, Bradyn and myself into feeding the sting ray's, it was really scary, you actually have to stick your hand down into the water and then the sting ray slides by and sucks the squid (gross) out of your hand!!!
Tuesday Ry and I took off on our own to Santa Monica Pier, we ate some Mexican food on the pier and relaxed on the beach. That evening we hooked up with Yuen, Trav, Bradyn and Brenton to catch an Angels game. They played the Yankees and ended up loosing by 1 run!!! It was pretty cool to see Jeter, A-Rod and Posada (just to name a few.) We were hoping to catch a Dodgers game while we were in town as well, but they were playing on the road that week we were there, what a bummer!!!
Wednesday was Newport Beach-This was a way fun day!!! We ate some way yummy food at Charly's (a little restaurant on the pier,) rented some body boards and got our body surfing groove on!!! I love the beach, oh how I wish we lived way closer to the ocean!!!
Thursday was Disneyland!!! Gracee was absolutely in heaven, it was her birthday and she was treated like a queen all day. We started the day off by hitting the"Bippity Boppity Boutique" with all of the girls (Brenda, Brandee, Gracee, Alivia and myself.) Gracee and Alivia were given the royal treatment. They both got their hair done, nails painted, and picked out princess outfits to wear for the day, Gracee was Snow White and Alivia was Cinderella. After the little girls got all dolled up, we headed over to "Ariel's Grotto" were we had a fabulous lunch and mingled with Belle, Cinderella and Mulan. After we had lunch, we met back up with the boys to enjoy the rest of our day at Disneyland and Adventure land, this truly was a day to remember!!!
Friday was Universal Studios for Ry, Yuen, Bradyn, Brenton and myself. It was 93 degrees this day and man did we fry!!! We had tons of fun riding the Mummy and going on the old Universal Studios Tour, I just love learning all the cool things they do to make movies so awesome!!! Later that night we bounced back to Disneyland to catch the firework show and to get in as many rides as we could before they closed!!!
Saturday was the day we left to come back home. We left in the evening, so we were able to layout by the pool for a good part of the day. We all had such a great time with each other, it's amazing how quickly a week flys by when you're on vacation, especially when it's jammed packed with amusement parks. Thanks Yuen and Brenda for such an awesome vacation to CALI!!! We'll never forget how much fun we had!!!
The very next weekend after coming home from California Ry and I went down to St. George with Yuen, Brenda and Debbie to watch Yuen run in the annual St. George Marathon, Yuen did a great job as always, he amazes me!!!
And there you have it.....What a dang long post. Hope you enjoy the millions of photos!!!
