LA Visit

We had a very exciting 5-day trip to LA.  It started with the Chadwick Class of '93 20th Reunion.  We had a blast - everyone looks the same and is doing well.  We probably had at least 40 people back.

Then we hit the beach, pool, movies, and more beach.  Alex and Julia really loved playing in the sand and digging up sand crabs and splashing the water.  No one wanted to venture in past their knees which was fine with us.  We also got together with our old friends Kelly and Darren and their kids.  It was so great to catch up and the kids got along great.  Julia kept calling their daughter "Tag" when her name is actually "Chase".  Cute.  Chase gave Julia a special Eeyore donkey that she calls Jesse.

Then we did 3 days at Disneyland and California Adventure.  Alex and Julia love roller coasters, especially fast ones with lots of ups and downs.  By far the best was Cars Racers.  We also liked the Soaring Over California ride, Star Tours, and the coaster at Toon Town.  We didn't like Roger Rabbit and Ferris Wheel wasn't worth the wait.  Alex even got to do the Jedi Training and fight Darth Vader.  Julia got to meet Minnie Mouse and a few princesses, but she was most interested in fast roller coasters.
