Hello from sunny California!
Today was our first full day together, the beginning of our adventure…and it was AWESOME!
It started with a good breakfast and then we headed to the Griffith Observatory for a stunning view of Los Angeles! Seeing these sights we just couldn’t believe we were actually here! We felt like Miley Cyrus, we looked to the right…and we saw the Hollywood sign!
Next we were off to Universal Studios! This is the perfect place to learn about the history of movies…and have fun! It’s a theme park set among working film studios, so we got to experience so much!
We spent the day riding the rides based off of movies! The Transformers ride was amazing – a 3D virtual simulation roller coaster and it felt like we were in a movie because of all the special effects! The Jurassic Park ride was a great place to cool down – a water ride complete with dinosaurs that jump in your face! The Simpson’s Ride was another virtual roller coaster that was so cool…we went thru a Haunted House where we danced with zombies…we saw a Shrek 4D movie and it was really nice.
And that’s not all…
We also had a chance to go on a Studio Tour. This was definitely a highlight. We learned about special effects, saw the set of Desperate Housewives and other famous movie sets like Back to the Future, we met Jaws, experienced a King Kong attack, and an earthquake in a train station! Amazing.
After our time at Universal Studios, we headed to Universal City Walk…a place with a lot of screens, bright lights, and music – felt almost like Times Square in New York! We ate dinner at the Hard Rock Café and it was delicious. After dinner we had some free time to do some shopping!
It was the perfect start to our California Adventure and we can’t wait for tomorrow…and the day after, and the day after… J We already cancelled our flights back so we can stay forever! Heh…just kidding! J
