Today I got a day off from work and I wanted to take full advantage of my free time but I also had a doctor appointment so after picking up my son from school, I went to my doctors appointment then I took the wife and kids to plaza bonita because I wanted the kids to have some fun in the playground area. They got a lot of exercise running around with the other kids chasing them. After that, we went to JC penny and got the kids some new outfits and my son seen this Super Mario Bros pajama set and it was on clearance sale and my son loves to play the game Super Mario Bros so I bought that for him and my wife bought our daughter a princess outfit so that when we go to Disneyland, she will wear it. After this, we went to this area where the kids can ride around in a circle on these electronic animals. My son has been scared to ride these in the past but this time, we weren't going to let him get away. I took some video of the kids and my wife and my son finally isn't afraid anymore. He got off saying to me he liked the ride. I think my son just found a new ride besides the train. My daughter on the other hand won't get off the ride. She was screaming when we pulled her off. Crying, crying, crying. Silly girl. These rides cost money baby.
This was the surprise that I promised to my children after his graduation. My son is doing well in school and he earned good grades, we thought he deserved to have a nice surprise. Since my wife haven’t seen the Universal Studios Hollywood yet, and I know how much she would love to visit the place because she mentioned it to me a couple of times, so taking my entire family into this amusement park for our summer vacation would be the coolest idea. We toured the park in two days but we will go back there within this year because we were able to avail their special offer “buy a day ticket and get the rest of the year for FREE”. My wife of course enjoyed her thing which is taking pictures of us and the things she find interesting. She has a lot of pictures; I believe she had over 1000 pictures that include our a-day tour at the Disneyland and California Adventure. Photos above were some of the nicest photos she took from us. I personally enjoyed our Studio Tour; it’s an hour tour where we get the chance to see movie locations and etc. We went through the world’s largest, most intense 360 3-D experienced and that is the KINGKONG, where we were caught in the midst of a terrifying struggle between a 35-foot T-Rex and the 8th wonder of the world- King Kong. It was such an amazing experience that I would recommend each one of you to experience it first-hand if you happened to visit this park.
Last week I was able to take 4 days off from work and take the wife and kids to Hollywood, CA and see some famous tourist places. We also visited Disneyland. We stayed at the Hollywood Hotel since we have been there before and were familiar with the location in relationship to were Hollywood blvd is. We visited the famous Beverly Hills parks with the sign. We also visited the greystone park. It's a historical park that was once a mansion for entertaining famous celebrities. We walked through downtown hollywood taking pictures of famous t.v. characters. My kids enjoyed the mickey mouse diner with all the toys for sale. We took the tour bus for 2 hours and seen many movie stars houses but most of them are hidden behind bushes and large trees. We had a great time but we wont be staying at the Hollywood inn again. We had problems with the tv reception and the bath tub draining and noises from people in the hotel room above us.
I've been promising my wife and kids for over a month and a half that I would take them to Sea World and Chuck E. Cheeses on my day off but I've been putting in so much overtime that I've neglected to hold my promise to my family. Well, today I decided not to work overtime on my day off and spend some quality time with my family. I took them to Sea World And my son got to play with the snow in the snow world at Sea World. My son Ethan had a lot of fun and he started to complain about his hands being cold. My daughter Briannah on the other hand was reluctant to walk onto the snow but with a little help from daddy, She was able to explore but only for a little while. My son was making snow balls and snow castle. We went to the Sea lion show, the pets rule show with it's many dogs and kitty cats, and last the Shamu show. We ended the night by visiting our friend because she called to invite us over for dinner. It was perfect timing because we were so hungry. One night down, one more to go.
This was the hotel we stayed-in during out short vacation in Los Angeles a couple of months ago. We rarely accommodated a fancy hotel but this time we did since we only stayed there for a night and two days we made sure it’s worth it. We wandered around Hollywood blvd (walk of fame) and we also went to the Disneyland. We might stay there again in the future if my wife agrees.
Yesterday was my day off, my family and I went to the Chula Vista Nature Center to see what animals they are preserving. I had been working overtime lately and I owe my family some quality time with me, so I thought of taking them to this place. My wife hasn’t seen this place yet since she came here in America and she wants to go there. This place is actually nearby our home and we never go there but those places that were actually far from us like Zoo and Wild Animal Park, SeaWorld, Legoland and Disneyland we’ve gone there already. There weren’t so much to see at the Nature Center but it was still fun for my kids.
