Disneyland, the Tonight Show and Six Flags

Nick turned the big 2-6 this year, and to celebrate we went to California – Southern California.  I kept telling people we were going to California…..without realizing I live in California.  It sounds silly, but the north and south might as well be 2 different states.  Totally different……I don’t know if I could live in LA.

any case, we drove down south on Friday and hit up Hollywood and Jay Leno.  The above picture is of my favorite stars – the kids from Harry Potter.  Tina Lin hooked us up and we were in the front row (yeah for Tina).  There was a super crazy girl next to me, but it was all good. The guest was Hugh Laurie from House.  I still can’t get over his accent.  I actually realized that I have more fun watching what goes on behind the scenes.  For instance, there are these people that sit on the side of the stage and scribble notes on cards.  They hold up the cards behind the

 guests and help guide the conversation.  It’s incredible.  I wish I had these people walking around with me all the time!

After Leno we were off to Anaheim.  A good nights rest and it was time to hit the ground running – Six Flags!

There weren’t any pictures taken at six flags….lots of big rides.  Nick rode a lot…..I got a little sick.

Then we made the long trek back to Anaheim for an Angels vs. M’s game.

The Mariner’s played a good game…but alas, they lost.  We actually sat next to a bunch of M’s fans, so at least we could cheer (and sulk) together.  K-Rod set a major league record for saves…..the bad news was that he set it against us…..the good news, we kept it close enough for him to get the save 🙂

Sunday was Disne

yland day!  And it was a marathon (I think both literally and figuratively).  I’m kind of intense at Disneyland.  If you want to hit up as much as you can in one day, come with me.

Back to Disneyland, Indiana Jones fastpass, big thunder mountain……it gets a little hazy after that, but we definitely did:

Indiana, space mountain (again), star tours, finding nemo, the house of tomorrow, matterhorn, autopia and ended the night with fireworks.  We were DEAD!  But it was really fun.
