Golden Zephyr ride at California Adventure!

Christmas Time at Disneyland, Anaheim, California, USA

Crowded as it was, Christmas time is a great time to be at Disneyland! We were greeted with surprisingly warm weather, but the sky high Christmas tree, castle covered in icicles and holiday parade made up for the lack of winter weather! This was at the parade – local cheerleaders did a routine to Christmas […]

"Soarin’ Over California" Ride, California Adventure, Anaheim, California, USA

Soarin’ Over California is officially one of my favorite rides in the Disney Theme Parks! For those that haven’t been on it, its a simulator attraction in California Adventure, that flies you through beautiful and familiar sceneries throughout California. Not only that, they add a dimension of smell so that you can become familiar with […]

"It’s A Small World" Ride, Disneyland, Anaheim, California, USA

It was after 10pm and after a long day, we were preparing to leave Disneyland. Before we did, we decided on one last ride – It’s a Small World. Sitting down for a slow-moving ride is always a nice treat after my feet were sore from the non-stop moving around throughout the day. Decorations from […]

…And there it goes!

King Triton’s Carousel, Disney’s California Adventure, Anaheim, California, USA

‘Twas a long day park hopping between Disneyland and California Adventure! Arriving not too long after they opened, and leaving shortly before they closed, we sure were exhausted. I had a lot of fun though! Of course, enjoyed taking photos of everything too. This is King Triton’s Carousel in California Adventure – wonderful by night! […]

The Train around the Christmas Tree, Long Beach, California, USA

First use of my new point & shoot – the Canon S90. It’s made for someone that wants more manual features (SLR type controls) and I like it a lot so far! Of course, I’ll still use my SLR but I just needed something more portable that I could bring around all the time (I […]

Gingerbread House Street, Los Angeles, California, USA

When you are busy and engulfed in the working world, sometimes its nice to be able just feel like a kid again! Gingerbread house making (more like graham cracker house making) was so much fun! This is our street lined with 6 different colorful houses covered with snow-white frosting and a colorful array of candies. […]

Los Angeles Traffic, 110 Freeway, Los Angeles, California, USA

Since I’ve been back in LA for almost 2 weeks now, I thought I’d have a photo from LA today. The odd thing with LA traffic is that when you don’t expect there to be traffic, there is. Obviously, you can see from this photo that going northbound on the 110 is stop and go […]

Murder at Mardi Gras, Murder Mystery Party, Los Angeles, California, USA

Invitations distributed, RSVPs rolled in, characters assigned, masks, beads and decorations bought, jazz playing subtly in the background… And there you have it, Murder at Mardi Gras – murder mystery party. After watching the Office, I was inspired for a good night of acting and mystery! We surprised Connie for her birthday with this party. […]
