Cali Vacation 2011: Day 1

Hello All,
So this is the first blog of this new and exciting year. Dad and Katie took Stacy and I on a graduation trip to California since both of us will graduate this year. After our first flight out of Madison was cancelled we got on another flight to Cleveland 5 hours after our original flight was to leave. With our slight delay we made it to LA only 7 hours after we were scheduled to arrive. We were all dog tired but walked down the street from our hotel to the Gardenwalk where we had dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen. We slept in the next day since we had basically been up for about 24 hours. We had breakfast at the hotel and went to a discount tickets and tours place to get tickets for the things we planned to do that week. This first day we spent at Knott's Berry Farm. Enjoy these pictures from Knott's.

Completely replenished after a good night's sleep we were ready to go to Knott's Berry Farm and ride some roller coasters.

The beautiful view of the mountains fromt he parking lot.

Yay for Knott's Berry Farm. The best thing about the day was that there were barely any lines since it was a weekday.

Dad had to try on the fish hat before we walked in the door.

Walking into Ghost Town.

The first ride of the day.

Had to get a picture with the statues in Adventureland.

The coolest ride, I think, because you ride a horse in that ride.

The horses roller coaster.

We got stuck in jail...LOL.

We walked to Camp Snoopy to see what was there even though we could only ride one ride. We did get to have our picture with Snoopy because he was right inside the entrance.

From Camp Snoopy we entered Fiesta Village where we rode Montezuma's Revenge and the Jaguar.

Then we went on the tallest ride there, Supreme Scream. I was shocked that Stacy went on it with me especially since she does not like heights.

This was my favorite ride of the day.

I liked this ride but Stacy did not since it went backwards.

The beautiful sky and the mountains as we were leaving Knott's.

That night we had dinner at Bubba Gumps. It was a great first day of vacation. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Continue to read my other blogs about this vacation. Sending you warm wishes and aloha kisses.
