Universal Studios Hollywood

MellowYellowBadge


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.

Searching for affordable Orlando Hotels!

I love to take my family into a place where I know they will have fun and enjoyment. My wife always tells me how fortunate she is to marry me, but guess what, I am fortunate that she is my wife. My wife, kids and I had been to the SeaWorld, Legoland, Disneyland and Zoo’s, but not in the Universal Studio yet. I was thinking, if I will take my family to the Orlando City of Florida sometime of next or two years from now I will certainly take them to the Universal Studio Orlando and Disneyworld. I was watching a video on Youtube about Orlando tourist’s destination earlier and it looks like they have more fun over there than here in California.




I seen a video of Disneyworld too and it seems like the park over there is huge and bigger than Disneyland. What I find it so interesting is that the park is surrounded with water and it looks almost like an island to island. By the way, Orlandoescape.com has great deals for Orlando vacation package and I would like to inquire more about their special offer. I think I will book our hotel accommodation at their website for us to be able to save some money.

Trip to hollywood

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.

Disneyland and friends


Today I'm excited to go to work and find out if my request for paid time off (PTO) on the weekend of February 18, 2012. I wanted to take that weekend off to take the family to Beverly Hills and Disneyland since my son will have 4 days off that weekend. We went to Disneyland last year but it was only for one day but we still had lots of fun and now we want to return. I can remember when we first arrived there and made our way to the park entrance, we immediately saw mickey mouse and my wife said "let's go get some picture taken with mickey mouse and the kids" I was reluctant and told my wife that we can do it later. Big mistake. We were only able to find mickey mouse one more time but took forever to get pictures taken with mickey mouse and it was hot, very hot. All in all, we had a very fun time and my kids loved the different rides. Here's some picture of me and the family at our day in Disneyland. Hope you like them.
