Day 1 and 2

Thursday, Ashley packed up me, Hermies, and all our things to head out to Disneyland and California Adventure in Anaheim, Ca. We left around 4 in the afternoon and headed out west on Highway 40. After we got to Barstow we got on I-15 towards Los Angeles. Next, we took the 60 W which merges with 57 and takes us right to Disneyland Resort.


Here we are in the car.

After 6 and a half hours of driving we finally arrived in Anaheim, and stayed at the Ramada Maingate. We had some friends waiting for us.

These are towel Swans. Aren't they cute?

Ashley fell fast asleep right after we arrived.

Friday, we got to go to...

California Adventure

I got to see the rest of mine and Ashley's family. Everyone stops and takes pictures in front of the letters. Ashley and her sisters and brother took a picture in front of the candy corn "A's" because our last name starts with an A.

We took one on the "N" for the Not All Beauty community. That is the community on Livejournal.com that Hermies' mentor is the owner of.


Here is the Halloween Time sign for California Adventure. It is attatched to their miniature Golden Gate Bridge. Ashley said the real Golden Gate Bridge looks very similar, but much much bigger and more beautiful. I am hoping to go back the Bay Area one day.

Next we went to a really cool interactive show about bugs! It was really exciting. The entrance looks like you are walking through an ant hill. Then you go underground kinda, to the theater.


When you walk out you see a great view of Grizzley Mountain. It is the shape of a bear. Ashley told us that California's state animal is the bear.


As we kept walking, we encountered many things, including a pier area, and a boardwalk and other things that Ashley said were representative of different areas of California. Hermies and I had to go back into the backpack for a little bit while Ashley, Sam, Megan, and Ben rode some rides. When we came out we were at a little Fire Department water patrol boat.

That is Hermies! He is a great friend. I was too small to sit there.


We walked around some more and ended up on the other said of Grizzley Mountain, where there were geysers.


Next, we pulled over for a quick stop on ol Rt 66 in a little town called....

There were lots of cool road signs, and hubcaps from older makes and models of cars. We also found piles of tires and other car parts.

Soon after we all headed over to Rainforest Cafe with Mom and Dad. I have really missed them over the past few years. Rainforest Cafe has a jungle theme with lots of animals that move, make all sorts of noises and in general, just wreak havoc. It was fun.
