As mentioned in a previous posting, Mike and I took a road trip in August with a couple of good friends, Simeon & Alli. Yes, the four of us stuffed all our luggage into Mike's Toyota Echo and all piled in for a 17-hour drive down and back. And we are all still friends!! We got to spend 5 wonderful days in southern California, 2 of those at Disneyland, 1 at Six Flags, and 2 just hanging around their old stomping ground (they both lived down there in college and knew the area very well). It was a great trip! Here are some highlights:
Mike, Kate, Alli, and Simeon at Six Flags Magic Mountain. It was sooo HOT!!
About to take off on an old wooden roller coaster at Six Flags. Much fun followed.
Mike, myself and Alli waiting to board the scary elevator on Tower of Terror. Needless to say, I didn't really want to go on it, but pouted my through the fear.
Check us out in the front row on the left. I screamed and stomped and held on to Mike for dear life the entire ride. But Simeon and Alli had a great time laughing and pointing at my reaction once the ride was over. :)
One of our first rides of the day was Splash Mountain at Disneyland, and we got SOAKED!
Here's Simeon and Mike looking a bit awkward on Grizzly Rapids at California Adventure.
Alli and Kate looking tough.
Our good friend, Jesse, was able to meet up with us at one of our Disneyland/Cali Adventure days!
On one of our off days, we walked around Hollywood for a bit. This is us looking confused in front of the famous Chinese Theatre.
Mmmmmm..... In 'n Out burgers are the best!
We picked up a hitch-hiker on the way home, who ended up having some personal boundary issues.
