My California Vacation, Stage 1

Man, sorry it's taken so long to post something new, I have been so busy. Math, Spanish, tennis, golf, and so much more has really been bogging me down. Any way, here's stage 1 of my vacation!

I get up at 4:30 to the sound of my Dad telling me to get dressed and finish my packing. We leave the house at 5:30 to make our 8 'o clock flight. We arrive in Long Beach around 11 'o clock Pacific time. We check in at our awsome Residence Inn hotel in Anaheim, and after contemplating snorkeling, decide to spend the rest of the day at the famous Newport Beach. My favorite beach of the trip, it had the best combination of temperature, sand quality, and wave heighth. I was while boogey boarding that I was rudely re-awakened to the horrible taste of salt water!

The next day we arrive at Disney Land at 9 'oclock to begin our two day visit at the theme park. And just to clear everything up, Disney Land is in California; Disney World is in Florida. Arriving at the park, we were treated to futuristic 3D rides, rollercoasters, and the like. My favorite part was the presentation of Asimo, the world's most advanced robot, put out by Honda. Day two of the Disneyland visit was partly spent in California Adventure, a Disney theme park right next to Disney Land. I don't have enought time to tell you about all of the rides, but I will tell that if you are planning a trip to Disney Land and California Adventure, be sure to go on Soarin California, the California Scream, and the Tower of . On the eve of the second day, we arrived at the central square of Disney Land to watch the firework show to find that it was totally packed; we had to watch the show with a tree in the way of view, but it was still awsome, the best firework show I have ever seen! Overall, I thought Disney Land was awsome. I went into it thinking it was just going to be Mickey Mouse and Cinderella greeting you to the park, and afterwards going on the teacups. But it was so much better than that! And no, I didn't get a mickey mouse hat. I got a Star Wars poster! lol.

The last day of Stage 1 was spent at Universal Studios in Hollywood. For a little extra money, we got a ride pass; so while everyone else was waiting in line, we walked right past them. You could just read their minds think, Hey, that's not fair! It was hilarious. They had to wait an average of 45 for a ride while we got on it within five! Definately made for the older tourist, Rachel spent most of the day waiting on us to go on rides such as the Mummy and Jurassic Park. There was a really neat tour of the sets from like 'War of the Worlds,' 'Godzilla,' and 'Jurassic Park.'

After an awsome four days, we set out from Anaheim to the great outdoors of stage 2: the great outdoors of Sequoia National Park and Yosemite.

Being my favorite part of vacation, there is so much that I wasn't able to talk about. If you have any please, comment and I'll be more than happy to answer your questions.
