VACATION 2009

this is my big vacation this year! me and guid went with his mom, dad, sister, brother and sister in-law to disneyland, seaworld, universal studios, san diego zoo and the beach for 6 days and they went home as for me and guid went onward for 6 more days of san francisco, portland, seattle and richland! let me tell you of an adventure so fun i cant even tell these events in order so they will be spuratic and all over the place! deal! lets begin:
seaworld was our first stop and so much fun! valeria, guid's sis, wanted us to sit in the soak zone at shamu. we got soaked so bad and smelled like fish all day, nasty. we smelt like lesbians! haha! we went and saw most, if not all of the shows they had, like the cirque dnace thingy, boring. its like the vegas shows at seaworld. wasnt good cause we wanted to see animals part of it and now were. boring. we saw some mantee's mating. that was cool. they stayed up close to each other and humped and things were growing and poking! haha! we went to pet the sting rays and that was cool! i held a starfish and they had a dolphin pond where people were trying to touch the dolphins. i reached and reached like everyone else was and got lucky! not once but twice! its was a good day until the second time right when i touch her, she tried to nip me and yelped and pulled my arm back. still so cute! we went on the journey to atlantis rollercoaster! so good! at first it was okay and then the water ride turned onto an elevator part and jerked us around and dropped us and was so cool! guid, me, valeria and lyndsey, sister in-law, went to the kids part of the park and went on the climbing course and was so much fun! crawling on the ropes, into tubes, wobbly bridges and all over again. we hurt our knees but if was a total workout for us adults! when we finished up me and lyn had the worst sunburns that i am still wearing today. ugh. ugly.
san diego zoo was our second day on vaca! when we drove there we went through this street that me and guid couldnt stop laughing. it was totally gay san diego. pride flags everywhere! i loved it! at the zoo i saw pandas for my first time. they were so cute! we got some cool pics of them. and i saw zebras trying to hump each other! haha! we saw some apes and their babies. so cute as the parent would through around the kids and the kid just held onto them for life. this day me and lyn wore loads of sunscreen so we could get better and it didnt we still got more burnt. ugh.
driving up the coast to anaheim we went to the beach and all of us swam. my first time getting fully under water and the water was cold and nasty tasting. i know, why did i drink it? i didnt, some gets in your mouth and eww! but it wasnt bad and guido loved that i was trying! muah! we also saw a bridge that i thought was a bridge used in 'charmed'. maybe! on the 3rd day we went to universal studios and i wore my buffy heart angel t-shirt! got 4 people who commented on it! last time i was there i wore my shirt prenup please and got remarks and loved it! attention whore! they replaces the back to the future ride with the simpsons ride which was very cool. the ampuero family loved it! its a very colorful ride and the even had the quik-e-mart store to buy stuff in! we went on the tour of the studios but in spanish for guids parents. me and lyn hated every minute. we didnt get anything. we were lost and it gave us a headache. right after we went to eat at pands express and ate for 2 for $30. rip off. dont eat in the park. i love the mummy and jurassic ride! nice! when we left we went shopping at the big mall they had attched to the park and it was huge and awesome!
4th and 5th day we went to disneyland and california adventure! loved it! by this time the family was so wore out that we didnt stay long at either park late. we got a turkey leg, gross. best part was a cream cheese filled pretzel, heaven! the lines at disney were not very long and moved quickly. except the toy story ride had a wait for an hour and something so we didnt go. fav rides were tower of terror! screamin california and space mountain! but we did run into trouble. on haunted mansion we got down to where we board the ride part and the ride stopped so we were asked to leave, everyone. indiana jones we got on the ride and it was our car that broke and we were lined up and escorted to a different car to restart the ride. while we alked another group took are picture cause we were walking in a uniformed line like we did something wrong. they were doing construction at california adventure for two new rides and it looks sweet! i cant wait to go back! we went on the new finding nemo ride which was awesome! we were in a submarine but not every deep at all. after we strolled down dowtown disney and went to the lego shop! i loved it! it was a dream in there! i just wanted to buy everything and build it!
we went hot tubing and swam for a little bit while in anaheim. we ate out a lot and had our own fun! though the service at ramada wasnt very helpful and the receptionist didnt have someone working with her which she clearly needed someone. phone calls, checking out, orders, mail all coming in at once and she alone tried to do it. me and guid departed from his family and they went home to salt lake and me and guid checked out a mall and then head north for part 2 of our vacation!
