A Little Weekend Getaway

This past weekend Seth and I went to LA. We had so much fun together! First we went to a Dodger's game:

We had really good seats right behind home plate where we enjoyed dodger dogs and nachos, mmm.

The next day, we went to six flags...

We had a good time, but while we were there we came to the realization that we are in fact "Disneyland people" Here's some reasons why:

1) If you see cobwebs at Disneyland, it's on purpose and they're probably fake. Disneyland is much much cleaner and kept up. (aka not ghetto)
2) There is no line control at six flags. We often found ourselves getting annoyed when 4 people from the line are supposed to go on the ride each time and only 2 end up going; why don't they ask for another party of 2? This make for a much longer waiting time...
3) For the most part, the lines at Disneyland are air-conditioned inside, and you're entertained while you wait...nope, not at six flags!
4) I know that people don't go to six flags for the shows, they go for the roller coasters (which I found most of them to be very jerky and rickety-and I usually love roller coasters) but we went to the one show that they did have. It was a batman stunt show...let's just say that we were laughing at parts that probably weren't supposed to be funny. So, Disneyland for sure takes the show there!
5) Last, but not least, where is the love for our good looney tunes friend Speedy Gonzalez? We only found him in one place:This was taken after the first ride (after waiting in line for almost 2 hours to ride it)


mmm, frozen lemonade...


Our good friend Bugs bunny


This picture speaks for itself


We were really dirty by the end of the day


We had lots of fun taking silly pictures :)


We made ourselves right at home in bugs' house


Fun day but I don't think we'll be back anytime soon! haha


After our adventures at six flags we ventured out to Santa Monica Beach. We rented bicycles and rode them up the beach bike path to Venice Beach. This was very fun and I highly recommend it. We wish we would have had time to go further up the path. We saw a lot of interesting things and people.
It was such a nice, fun weekend and I'm so glad that I could spend it with my favorite person who still makes me laugh everyday. I love you Seth!

Now back to work and school!

Fun times! But seriously, Linds, I haven't seen you for like a MONTH! :) Jill and I need to come visit you for our VT duties. And hopefully our paths cross at YW activities again! :)

We went to Six Flags in May with a big group of friends and the lines were really minimal, so, we decided to have a contest to see who could ride the most roller coasters in a day. Let's just say that everyone had a headache by the end of the day! I don't think my head has ever hurt that bad! Tyler actually gave up half way through the day along with a few others, but I was a champ until the end. I think I came in 3rd, riding 17 roller coasters (some more than once), and the winner went on 21! Some of those coasters are CRAZY, and really bumpy. Tyler said he could care less if he ever goes to Magic again! Anyways, it looks like you had a great California Adventure (no pun intended...HA)!
