Today will be our shortest blog so far as we didn't really get up to a lot. We got up and had brekkie. We decided to go for a drive and came across an Outlet Centre. With no plans for today we went and had a look. We picked up some new sneakers and a few other bits. It was another hot day (but give me a hot day over a cold, anytime) and every time we walked out of one shop and into another the girls found the heat quite bad. We ended up being there for over 5 hours (where does the time go). By the time we got back to the hotel it was 5pm so we went for an early dinner at Roxy's, one of the restaurants in the hotel. The staff ... read more

Today was our last and third day at Disneyland, so we all felt a bit upset that it was our last day and as Walt Disney once said “it is the happiest place on earth”. So much to see and do you just don’t want the day to end. We got up early and got there as they were opening. We didn’t make the early bird entry which was a shame as the alarm didn’t go off. We started out at Tomorrowland at the Buzz light year ride were you had to shoot at objects and help out buzz, which was cool. Then we moved on to the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, where you hopped into a submarine and went on a ride to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. We helped Nemo’s dad find Nemo and we ... read more

Today we were up and off for a drive to some of the beaches. Firstly we drove to Huntington Beach, it seemed like a lovely area. We didn't stop there and decided to keep driving North along the coastline for a while passing Seal Beach and then on to Long Beach. We didn't stop there though. We kept driving to where the shipping areas are. We drove over 2 large and different bridges. There were thousands of shipping containers in every direction you looked. We drove on to San Pedro and had a little look around. We then headed back to Huntington Beach and pulled into a carpark so the girls could have a swim. Unfortunately we didn't pick our area well as it was a dog beach and was very, very busy with dogs running ... read more

Today we had a later start, so went to the movies to see Despicable Me in 3D. It's a new Universal movie and was a great little movie to chill out enjoy. The movie theatre was huge! We got some hotdogs, popcorn and drinks. We thought it was rather funny that you buy your butter movie popcorn and then on the side they have a dispenser full of butter that you can add to your already buttered popcorn...YUM - not! We then headed into Downtown LA to have a look at the stars. Stu is a bit over driving on these LA freeways, they are very full on and even with the tom tom it is still confusing. We parked up and went for a walk not realising HOW LONG the actual walk is, we imagined ... read more

Well, today we took a gamble by going to the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park. Michelle N had recommended for us to go to the San Diego Zoo, as she said it was one of the best zoos she has ever been to - that's saying something coming from Michelle. The Wild Animal Park did not disappoint one little bit. It was a 1 1/2 hour drive from where we are staying in Anaheim. From the moment we walked in you could tell it had a fantastic set-up. As we entered we walked through a netted bird aviary, where there were a few different species of birds. Then we went through and saw the flamingos on the way to seeing the elephants. After having a quick look at the elephants we went back to the ... read more
