We got home from California around 12:30 Saturday morning. The trip went well and we saw quite a few things. Our first day out there we hit up Disneyland's California Adventure where we took in a few shows and the group rode some rides. Day 2 was an LA tour (including Hollywood) and then off to Universal Studios. (Funny enough I was trying to get a picture of the Michael Jackson's star in front of the Chinese Theatre but couldn't weave through the crowd to get to it. He died the next day). On our final day we went back to Disneyland to see what it had to offer. I have one word to describe the experience- CROWDED!! I am a huge Disney fan but I would choose Disney World over Disneyland any day. There isn't much to do at Disneyland but there are sure lots of people!
I think my favorite part of the trip was the Back lot Tour at Universal Studios. We went down "Wisteria Lane" so to me that was pretty cool ( I am a Desperate Housewives lover!). Last time I was there was 4-5 years ago when they were just beginning filming for the show so we didn't have the access we had this time around. I think I will always remember where I was when I heard that both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson had died. The buzz around the Disneyland park was CRAZY! Half of the crowd was in disbelief trying to find out anything they could and the other half was totally grief stricken.... it was all very surreal. How crappy for Farrah though, huh? Here she has lost the fight of her life only to have it overshadowed by they King of Pop's death! I told the group we should have stayed home 'cuz too many people died in LA last week.... they all thought I was silly so I guess that is a good thing!
Here are a few pictures from the trip
