Last week B & I traveled to Anaheim and Corona California! We had such a good time & the weather was beautiful!Our very first day there, after we had flown in, we went to Disneyland! B was so excited!!! :)
Our first full day there we had an 8hour tour to Downtown LA, the OLD LA that is now an awesome Mexican part of the city, The Walk of Stars, Chinese Theater, Kodak Theater, the Hollywood sign, drive bys of Celebrity's homes, the famous Rodeo Drive, The Farmer's Market and Venice Beach! I think our favorite part was Venice Beach! It was beautiful and there were some wild characters out there! All I could do was stare!! ha! But while on the Walk of Stars, I was able to get a picture of 1) the crowd that was around Michael Jackson's star and 2) a picture of MJ's star!!! I mean, even though he and I shared a Birthday, and I did like his music, I was not that big of a fan, but it was history.....we were flying in the day of his funeral.......
In the OLD LA, the Mexican part, there were shops full of colorful things!
THE CROWD & below, THE STAR!
HOTTIE Matt Damon!!!! :)
Rodeo Drive!
Yep, that is a Tricycle with 1) a Harley Davidson Sticker on it and 2) CHAINED to the pole! I laughed so hard!!
Some more crazy stuff we saw at Venice Beach! ha!!
B & I on the beach! Beautiful day! Almost chilly!! Then the next 2 days was spent at Disneyland's Magic Kingdom and California Adventure parks! We had a blast! It wasn't too crowded and we were able to ride rides multiple times with out too long of a wait! Magic Kingdom is so much smaller than the one in Flordia, but so quaint and FUN! I will definitely be going back!!! and on THURSDAY night I was able to see someone that I think is Famous!!!!! Derek from Dancing with the Stars!! I knew my girls at MUH and my cousin Mary Raye would TRULY appreciate it!!! I was so excited!!! and of course I got his picture! See below!!!
IT IS DEREK!!! In an ice cream shop!!! :)
My favorite parade! All lights! At night! :)
:)On Friday night we were able to meet up with Sean and his Wife To Be - Katie!! We haven't seen Sean, in like, FOREVER and it was awesome to see him! I was just so glad to meet Katie! She is truly a warm and genuine person! She was so welcoming, I just felt like I had been friends with her forever! Sean caught and AWESOME girl! :) Congrats to Sean & Katie! They are Hawaii right now for their Honeymoon! Lucky ducks!!! ;)
Saturday we hit the parks one more time for our last few fun rides!! :) Then off to see my friend Lynn before the wedding! We haven't seen each other in about 6 years!! She used to work with me when we both worked in West Memphis, we hit it off and became instant friends!! It was just a small world thing that she moved to Corona and that is where Katie & Sean got married!!! B & I went to visit with her, her husband, Mike and their dog, Sal! It flew by too fast but I enjoyed every minute of it! Like I told her "I am coming back, I love visiting out here!" :) Thank you Lynn & Mike for your hospitality and letting us visit with you for at least a little while! I love you and MISS YOU TONS!!!
Lynn & I! :)After that visit we were off to the wedding!!! What a fun time, and beautiful too! It was at the beautiful home of Katie's Dad & StepMom, Mr. John & Mrs Sue! Sean looked so handsome and Katie was breath taking!!! Katie's son, Jonathan was a HAM on the dance floor & such a sweetie!!! They make one beautiful family!!!! Phil & Heather (one of Brian's old college roommate and his wife) got to come too. They live in Memphis also, and I said it is kind of funny that we had to come across the country to visit with one another! HA! But it was good times as always! Sean & Katie had an artist at their wedding painting the scene, landscape of their wedding day and ceremony the entire time! It was so cool just to walk by every once in a while to see the progress of her painting! It was awesome!!! Thank you guys for inviting us to be a part of you big day!! We love you!!!
Katie's grandmother caught the bouquet! If you know me at all, you know I fell in LOVE WITH HER!!! :)
Heather, Phil, Katie, Sean, B & I!
The painting! What a wonderful way to preserve the day! :)I am totally embarassed to say how many pictures I took! So, I won't say! but if you would like to see the WHOLE TRIP and the WHOLE WEDDING, go to the Photos Section and check it out! Thanks for listen to me ramble! I really enjoyed myself on this vacation and just want to tell everyone EVERYTHING! ha!
Have a great week!!!
