Another California Trip!!!

Believe it or not, Kenny had to go back to California to do a job just a few days after we got back from our earlier trip. He wanted me to come with, and I initially said no many times... thinking that I was already going to be tired from the previous trip. But he wore me down, and I decided to go ahead and go. (Thinking that it could be fun to go on a trip just Kenny and I, leaving the kids home with their grandparents.) So, off we went!!!

We didn't take many pictures since it was just Kenny and I, but we did take a few. It's really hard to not have a good time in California. Poor Kenny did have to work a few days, while I just lounged around the pool, read a lot, and basically relaxed. Basically doing whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted... it was really weird to not have to tell the kids to stop fighting, make meals, do laundry, etc. :-) When Kenny was off, we did some sightseeing, ate out, and even went to Universal Studios one day.

Here was our view one evening at supper:



Nice, huh? The restaurant was literally right on the beach. We did try to take some pictures at Universal, here are a few:



We rode just about every single ride there, except for the Jurassic Park ride (the weather was nice, but not hot... did NOT want to get wet).



We also went on the Studio Tour. We saw many lots where movies and television shows were filmed, including this remnant of the War of the Worlds movie. They actually destroyed a real plane for this film.



And we took in the shows as well, including the Water World show. It was all really neat!



We paid extra for our tickets and got "Front of the Line" passes. They were awesome. We literally were able to bypass each and every line and all but walk right in and ride any ride we wanted, anytime, and as many times as we wanted. It was an entirely different experience for an amusement park, and it was definitely worth the extra expense.

Back to reality! :-( Back to fighting siblings, laundry, cooking, cleaning... you name it. I am so over flying for a while though (flying with oxygen is so annoying on so many levels), maybe our next trip will be a road trip!
