L.A. - First Night and Day One

We took the American Airlines Flight 1957 to Los Angeles on August 14, 2008. The flight was on time. It took off at 8:50 pm and landed at 9:45 pm. Waiting to pick us up from the airport was my friend, Fon, and her husband, Bobby. I've known Fon since we were 10-years-old. That's 12 years of friendship. Wow. A very long time. Anyways, they took us to Bobby's mom's house in Valencia. Judy's house is awesome. It's part of a gated community with townhouses. They have a recreation center with a pool and spa. Five minutes away from her house is Six Flags Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor. Sweet.

When we went in Brianna woke up and started crying. Then she stopped when she saw Fon. She's shy at first, but warmed us to us. She called me "Auntie" and Sean "Uncle." The way she says it is sooo cute. She's only 2, but boy, her daddy's gonna have a hand full.

The next day we went to Disneyland at 10 am. It was awesome. We went on most of the big kid rides and watched Brianna go on the baby rides. Later that night we watched the Fantasmic! Show by Frontierland. It was amazing. That was followed by the "Remember... Dreams Come True" fireworks. The best I've ever seen. We finally left at 10:30 pm. What a day!
