VERY LATE

Jun 15, 2012 19:10

So this was the beginning of my California trip to visit Lizzie (jadekitty777)... TWO YEARS AGO
OTL
I never finished because I have short term memory loss so I couldn't remember what the hell happened after awhile so I will post what I had and then just the rest of my photos!

ENJOY
--------------------------

Yes, so finally!
I WRITE MY CALIFORNIA REPORT.

WARNING://
Image Heavy & you'll end up being tl;dr unless you're bored.



Saturday:
After getting probably 3-5 hours of sleep, I wake up @ 3:45am and head off to the airport. Nothing too amazing happened. Checked in, went through security and waited for my flight. Unfortunately, with the lack of sleep and food in my gut, I didn't handle it too well. I'm not use to such long flights and music wasn't helping me any. I did however listen to Kra, which brought back some nice memories. I totally miss RPing Keiyuu. But once I landed in Dallas, TX, I felt a bit better. Got myself some pretzels and a Pepsi (unfortunately) which tasted like soap. Called my mom and Lizzie and waited for my next long flight. That didn't go as bad but I still wasn't feeling well. Pokemon Ranger was able to keep my attention for a bit longer so I didn't feel so claustrophobic.

Landed in Ontario, CA and met Lizzie down at the baggage claim. Got my bright yellow (SORA) bag and headed out to her car. That was the first time I saw palm trees! They were awesome and not so awesome at the same time since she explained they use up too much water.

We headed off to Ontario Mills Mall. Our first destination was food. Mmm, pizza. Unfortunately, I was still meh from the flight so I wasn't able to finish my $72874827 piece of pizza. After that, it was off shop.









We went to plenty of places including the Sanrio store where I got my mom her X-mas presents. Went to Hot Topic, Lego, Disney Outlet (where I bought a Duchess plush which will be shipped to me) and Spencer's where I got an awesome Batman t-shirt that has a detachable cape!



After the mall, we headed to Lizzie's house but before we could find the freeway, her GPS told us to pass it. So we did and turned where it said to and when we did, it told us to drive off road through the freeway. LOL. Demyx moment. We turned around and went the right way. I instantly fell in love with their mountains! They were beautiful!
She showed me where she worked and a little of the town before heading to her house. I stayed in her brother's room and got into my PJs before my huge introduction to her extensive Pokemon collection. It was... well, it was huge. Afterward, we played some Days and BBS before going to bed. She kept kicking my ass in Days... as in kept hitting me instead of the Heartless! D: We were an unbeatable force together in BBS though! She was Terra and I was Ventus and FUCK YOU UNVERSED!

Sunday:
Got up and headed out for breakfast at a place called Mimi's Cafe. I totally got some chocolate milk and french toast. Again, I guess my stomach wasn't cool with food just yet so I wasn't able to finish my meal. we then headed out to Boarders since it was the only thing opened and looked around. She bought some Warrior books and then we headed off to Toy's R Us to look at their lame section of Pokemon. Ugh, why so lame like mine!? But, it did find something awesome.



FFFFFFFFFFFF. I love Deery Lou. She got some awesome priced plushes (Buy 2 get 3 free). We then headed to the mall and checked out their Hot Topic where I found the perfect shirt for Disneyland. I had been looking for a purple shirt (for Spirit Day) and with a Disney theme. The first shirt on Men's clearance was a purple shirt with the White Rabbit on it that said 'You're Late for a Very Important Date'. It was in my size and was the last one left. Wow. 8D Snatched it up and headed off to the awesome Anime Store...



Yea, spent like $300 in there. Not included is this and this which will be in the mail too. Lizzie also got me a HUGE pink gloomy bear which is coming in the mail as well! We also looked in the Halloween Store which was awesome~
We ate, which is when I had my first bite of a corndog and holyshit was it amazing!

After that, she brought me up to her old college.



There was a beautiful rose set up with a little stream and bridge. We walked around and saw the pond where TON of ducks and geese were hanging out. We stayed there for a bit before heading back to her place. We ended watching two movies (Bolt & Horton Hears a Who!) and I really liked both of them a lot. Jojo was my favorite~ And not because Jesse McCartney was his voice actor...
Lizzie's dad then took us out to a nice Chinese buffet. The rice was SO good! So was their chicken. When we got back home, Lizzie and her mom got ready for the trip and we bought our Disneyland/Cali adventure tickets. Called it a night shortly after that.

Monday:
Woke up and left around 7-8. We were going to meet Justina and her husband Mike (Lizzie's friends) at the hotel in Fullerton which is close to Anaheim. Had some fun driving there. xD







When we got there, we headed straight to Knott's Berry Farm. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the park since I was kind of shy around the others. They were really nice and funny though and we had a really good time. Hardly anyone was there so we were able to get on so many rides that we got tired of them eventually. xD

My Knott's Berry Farm Ride Count:
Jaguar - x2
GhostRider - x1 (That ride was SO painful)
Montezooma's Revenge - x2
Pony Express - x1 (Fun but too short)
Sierra Sidewinder - 1
Silver Bullet - x2 (My favorite)
Xcelerator - x1 (Fun but I couldn't do it after I ate)
La Revolucion - x1 (Much higher than the one in Six Flags)
Calico Mine Ride - x1
Calico Railroad - x1
Wipeout - x1 (Also painful)
Bigfoot Rapids - x1
Timber Mountain (Sleepy Hollow) Log Ride - x2 (Second favorite)

After riding everything, we headed off to the shops.



We were driven back to our hotel and unfortunately forgot to have Mike put the new windshield whipper blades on so we worked on them with no luck before going in. Our room was 201 and was a really nice size. However, the walls were paper thin. We could heard everything. We went downstairs to explore the hotel and found a $1 soda machine and the so-called heated pool that was freezing. Drank some soda around the pool and talked before heading back to our room for the night.





Tuesday:
Got up early and headed out to LA. Wow. Drivers. Nuts. Trying to kill us. Luckily, we didn't get lost only until our GPS told us to take the wrong turn and sent us up the street when we wanted to go down. Lizzie did a crazy ass three point turn thing but we made it to the Museum of Tolerance. Our first stop was at the Holocaust exhibit.
