World of Color

California Adventure's new show, World of Color was amazing!

We entered California Adventure at 9:30 AM. We had been to CA Adv before at around 9:50 (park opens at 10). People are allowed through the gates at 9:30, but you are not allowed past a certain point to go on the majority of the rides. Then at 10 AM everyone rushes to Toy Story, it's just nuts.

So there we are at 9:30, we get through the gates and everyone's rushing. Thinking that there's no point in rushing, we casually stroll through until we realize there is a "Fast Pass" for World of Color. The fast pass line was ridiculous! We were probably in line for about 30 minutes just to get a fast pass for the 9:00 PM showing of World of Colors.

The fast pass says to go to the viewing area at 7:45. We got there around 7:30, to join a crowd of people (with Fast Passes) to get into the viewing area.

Finally, the show started at 9:00 PM and it was well worth the wait. Easily the best water show I've ever seen (not many, but still), and 10 times better than Fantasmic. The choreography of the water with both the music and the movie clips was genius! I wish I could better describe it, but I have to just recommend you see it for yourself.

Disneyland

Got an annual pass for disneyland again, went today and it was pretty crowded haha.

First ride we got on was Indiana Jones and right when we got on, it broke down. sucks, woulda been cooler if it broke down in the middle of the ride.

On Thunder Mountain, the ride stopped and I thought "cool"....then they said the ride would resume shortly, boooo.
Who has a pass to disneyland? Let's go!

Ronald Reagan Presidential Library

When I was a kid, we lived just a few minutes away from the Reagan library and so we would always take visiting family there.

The other day, I went back and there's some pretty cool exhibits. Air Force One and Miniature White House Exibits are both great new additions. The oval office is still there, but unfortunately the galleries are currently closed. They will be re-opening in February on Reagan's 100th birthday...

Kayaking in La Jolla

My last blog post was Wild Animal Park in SD....That wasn't the only thing we did, but that was the last thing I could capture with my phone at the time....

On July 3rd, we went on a kayaking tour in La Jolla which included the La Jolla caves. I had never gone ocean kayaking before and didn't know what to expect. We got on the kayak, and here came the waves. We were in the kayak, probably at about a 45 degree angle paddling for calm water.

Little did I know that the "calm water" I was looking for would actually be like sitting on a pendulum. As we waited for the rest of the tour group, I started to feel it. Yup, it was that morning breakfast coming right up...We let the group go ahead and I left my mark on the ocean.

Sophy asked if I wanted to go back, but I decided I might as well go for the caves. We made it there, saw some sea lions, sophy saw a dolphin in the water, and that was that.

We head back to shore, and caught a huge wave. We made it past that one, and the wave pushed us forward. Another wave came, and there goes the kayak. We both fell in and that was pretty much the end of my phone haha....

Kayaking in La Jolla, if you don't get seasick, is definitely a cool thing to try out with some nice sights. My phone didn't make it, but once I got a new one, I found that I was able to salvage these pictures from the memory card.

George's in La Jolla

We tried this great restaurant right off the coast of La Jolla....

Let me just sum it up.....food was great, prices were good for what you get, and the view was awesome...

Definitely recommend this place...

Here's the view from our table....
