California Vacation Part 2

Well I woke up a little early today, so I can throw some more pictures of of the family vacation.

After we did the Disneyland thing thursday it was time fore fireworks friday. We were invited to spend time with the Bueno’s ate Stef’s parents house. We had a GREAT time, although Selle got sick from something and was throwing up most of the day. She bounced back though ready for a fun day!

Gisselle and Julian new summer loves!

Selle and Julian doing the sparkler thing. (Selle’s first time with fireworks)

HOW CUTE!!

We then mashed out to my Aunt’s house in San Diego for a visit. Selle came up on a Build A Bear. And Emily wanted to do the nite nite thing with selle. Precious.

We headed back to Los Angeles Sunday for Julian’s 5th Birthday party at the park. ALOT of very cool people there even a celebrity that I won’t name drop ha. Very good times! Great food, terrific atmosphere, and the kids had a blast!

California vacation Part 1

Well, with many more workdays in front of me, I have gathered a few pictures to sum up our family vacation to Los Angeles. Alot of missed pictures, but hey the ones I got are the ones that count right?..

Well first things first. We landed in Los Angeles Tuesday, getting lost on the freeway, taking detours, hitting traffic, getting hungry made for a very long afternoon. Our tuesday was pretty much spent. Grabbed some food, hit the hotel, and visited Jae Bueno and his wonderful family for a short while then knock out time. ( we were supposed to have recieved Disneyland tickets at Jae’s address but the postal system seemed to have screwed that up)

Wednesday we woke up, ate at La Poblana (GREAT SUGGESTION from Jae’s wife Stef!) Very yummy! Afterwards we headed toward Melrose, hitting the Peterson Automotive Museum, The Fast Life, and Kidrobot.

Some flicks from the Peterson.

A KICKASS ice cream truck with a 360 degree mural:

They had a DISNEY/PIXAR CARS wing there with several lithographs, resins, and drawings from the making of the animated movie:

And of course some nice rides:

Selle being like dad on 2 wheels…

The Following day we did the big touristy thing….DISNEYLAND and CALIFORNIA ADVENTURES.
Remembering back in the day when I went to Disneyland there wasn’t a California Adventures and there certainly wasn’t a 5 tier parking garage. Nutso how things have expanded! I was definately caught off guard!

The girls posing:

Selle and her ears!

Although we missed out on the most popular rides , Gisselle had a BLAST with everything we did. So that matters most!

Rest of the Vacation tomorrow….
