Day 3

Disclaimer: written in the car not a literary master piece

Sofor the second day in a row we've woken up at 11am, we must have been super tired! We had lunch at the cheesecake factory ( i can tick that off my to do list) the food was great and so cheap but the serves are huge. I don't think any of us even ate half of our meal. We'll have to start sharing meals now i think!

We got to California adventure park about 1pm. This place was brilliant.  No where near as many people as Disneyland!  Hugh and Reilly walked straight onto  the Hollywood tower of terror ride,  Hayden didn't want to do it and i didn't want to do it on a full belly!

After this we spent some time in Bugland where Hayden said the rides were more his speed. We managed to convince him (force/peer pressure whatever ) to go on the California Screamer roller coaster.  It is the biggest, most amazing roller coaster I have ever seen! I have to admit i was shitting myself but I knew if i chickened out I would never hear the end of it from Hugh and Reilly  (FYI Reilly is a dare devil! Loves scary rides). It was fantastic! Best rollercoaster ever! Not recommended for those with vertigo, poor Hugh!  We went on the giant ferris wheel next where we had the option of a swinging or non swinging gondala of course Reilly wanted a swinging gondala this turned out to be a terrible idea. It was terrifying, the gondala was on a track so when you went up it kinda slid down the track then stopped and swung really fast!
Hugh and the boys went on the river ride and got saturated it was about 7pm by this stage and freezing cold so we took this as a good excuse to buy Disneyland shirts. ( just heard gotye on the radio that's exciting! ). The boys and I ended up going back and doing the tower of terror ride  just before we left. It was really dark and scary but the view from the top was worth the defacating of pants!

  Christmas time at Disneyland is so beautiful,  they really go all out! I'm so glad we visited at this time!  I bought a mickey mouse Christmas ornament for the tree so every year when we put the tree up we'll remember this trip!
On the way home we stopped at Starbucks for hot chocolates and watched the Disneyland fireworks while altogether

We're on the Santa Ana  freeway now heading to San Diego #sandiLamo this whole driving on the right side of the road is terrifying and just plain weird! The scenery is weird desert on one side of the road and the ocean on the other side, it's beautiful! 

That's it for now.  Will post anther entry tonight after Legoland.
