CALIFORNIA VACATION

We had a great week in sunny California last week. Since I am a teacher, I get off when the kids get off. We decided to go to CA after my son got us tickets into the Ellen show. They were Guaranteed seats so who could pass on that. We flew into CA on Sunday afternoon, and then spent two days in San Diego. It is so beautiful there. We stayed right on the Marina. We did Sea World park there on Monday. On Tuesday we drove up to Disneyland. Well quite different than Disneyworld, and I must say not quite as "Magical". The only characters we saw all day were the pirates, and then we finally saw more characters during the parade. The fireworks show was cancelled that evening due to high wind. On Wednesday Kyle and I went to see Ellen. John took Coleton to the La Brea Tar pits.They enjoyed it and Coleton loved seeing all the dinosaur bones. We had a great time at ELLEN. I couldn't bring my camera in so I don't have any pictures. We got to see Amy.... can't remember her last name from SNL (In the new skating movie with Will Farrell...) Then we got to see Tim McGraw, and he was very hunky. ELLEN was fun although she really didn't interact with the audience when the cameras were not on. That night we all went to Hollywood Blvd by the Kodak Theatre and Grumman Chinese Theatre. Lots of freaks in Hollywood. Then on Thursday we went to Univeral Studios which we love. They changed the backlot tour since the last time we were there. Of course my favorite part was seeing the actual Desperate Housewives set.... The other sets were pretty interesting as well. It was way too cold that day to do the Jurrasic Park ride because you get wet. We loved the Water World show. It was fun. Unfortunately all good things come to an end. We came home Last Friday, and Easter was Sunday. I had off on Monday so I was able to catch up a little with the unpacking. I hope everyone had a great Easter or Passover.
