VACATION!!!

WARNING: THIS BLOG IS OVERLOADED WITH PICTURES

So this past week, we went on our California trip. It was soo much fun and such a good time! I loved being able to spend all day every day with Patrick. Our days were really packed but all full of fun stuff!

DAY 1: We went to Universal Studios. We couldnt decide if we really wanted to go here or not and we went back and forth trying to decide. In the end, we were sooo glad that we ended up going! The Transformers Ride is probably the coolest ride I have ever been on. I was skeptical because it was a 3D ride and I kinda hate 3D but it was so awesome!!





Funny story: So we were eating lunch and Patrick was like "What's that?" And pointed behind me. I turned around and THIS guy was standing right behind me. He scared the crap out of me! haha It was pretty funny!

I thought this nightgown was pretty funny, but for reals..Betty Boop is kinda a hoe haha

I love me some Optimus Prime! This guys costume was SOO cool!

Getting ready for the studio tour

 


DAY 2: We spent the next day at Disneyland. It was perfect weather! The lines weren't bad at all and the most we waited was about 20 minutes. My favorite part was when we went on The Tower of Terror. I have never seen my husband so scared ever! He literally screamed haha A manly scream..but still..a scream! The Haunted Mansion was all decked out in Nightmare Before Christmas stuff and they also changed Space Mountain for Halloween. We saw the World of Color show at night. It was so cool! 




It got a little rainy, but we didnt mind! It was actually perfect weather for us cuz it wasnt way hot or way cold and a lot of people left when he sprinkled for only about 5 minutes. 

Waiting for the World of Color show to start in California Adventure Land. 


DAY 3: We went to Six Flags. I have been waiting to go here so YEARS! and I must say. I was really let down. 1st of all, everything was way expensive. More expensive than Disneyland! The parking was $17. It was $13 for a hamburger. They wouldnt let you take your bags on the rides, but didnt have a place of you to put them off to the side. So you had to either pay for a locker at the bottom of each ride or pay $12 for an all day locker. A lot of the rides were broken. This park was the least crowded but had the WORST lines! We waited 1 hour for a ride and then it broke down while we were in line. Yeah...we only stayed like 4 hours. We decided to try to salvage the day, but I guess it didnt want to be salvaged. It took us 3 hours to get home in the LA traffic. We went to dinner and our dinner made both of us sick. The only good part was chillin in the hot tub when we got back to our hotel. Live and learn...dont think we will be going back here. These two pictures sum up the whole day. We were sad about all the lines and that the rides kept breaking. We were mad that everything was so dang expensive!



DAY 4: We headed back to Disneyland/California Adventure. It was a lot more crowded today because it was a Saturday but we spent the whole day at the park..from 8:30am-12 am. It was so fun! We rode everything we wanted to ride again. We saw a few shows and went on the new ride in cars land. We got our fast passes first time and our return time wasnt until 10:40. But this ride was SOOOOOO cool! Totally worth it! We loved it.


Patrick was so scared to go on Tower of Terror again...hahahaha! It was hilarious

Okay...I was a little scared too

Getting in line for the Aladdin show. So much fun! They did such a good job and the Genie was so funny!


Just a few of the cute Halloween decorations they had up

Patrick had no idea what a Churro was! He saw a sign for them and was like "What the heck is a churro!?" I was shocked and quickly changed that. This is his face trying a churro for the first time :) He loved it! 

The line for Space Mountain was ridiculous! We were trying to decide what to do when they opened the doors for some attraction called "Captain EO". We thought "Eh why not?" This is us waiting for it to start. No clue what we were in for!

Oh my gosh...if you have never seen this before..you need to! It was this WAY funny video with Michael Jackson! So funny! I didnt even know this existed! 

I made Patrick go on the tea cups with me...I may be 25 but I still love this ride!




Okay enough pictures. Sunday was just mostly a travel day so I didnt take any pictures. We had such a good vacation and were sad to get back to the read world. Strangely, I felt like this vacation brought us closer as a couple. We have gotten so busy lately that we dont have a lot of time to spend together. It was soooo nice to be able to spend so much time just being us! :)
