I have decided to do this trip in two different posts because I don't really feel like writing tons of stuff all at once and it will be much easier to read instead of just jumbling everything in as one.
This trip to California was originally going to be myself, Ramsay and his girlfriend Jessica and my girlfriend Lennea. However, Ramsay and Jess both had other deals so they couldn't go anymore and my bro Connor decided to step in and come along and I am hyped he did.
We headed out of Vernon on the 17th and went to Vancouver to stay the night with Lennea. The drive was pretty quick and when we got to Vancouver, Justen was at my place hanging with Lennea and had a pretty sweet gun that shot both plastics discs and plastic bb's at the same time. Tight. We turned in pretty soon after we got there but not before Connor got hot soup spilt all over his hand due to Justen being a meathead. In the morning we made the trek to the greyhound and had to bus about 5 hours to Seattle. Once we got to Seattle we had to find our hotel and had quite the ordeal locating it. We spent one night in Seattle and caught our plane to LA in the morning.
The plane ride was actually alot of fun. We flew with Virgin America and they had these crazy touch screens in the backs of their seats so you could watch tv, movies, listen to music and play video games. Me and Connor spent some time playing Doom until I managed to freeze my screen and it would no longer work. Anyways, the flight was short and we got into LA in the early afternoon. We caught a bus and made our way to our hotel on Disney Way which was about a five minute walk from Disneyland. Since it was already kinda later in the afternoon we just went shopping at this shopping center by our hotel where we all got some pretty rad sunnies and Connor got a Hollister necklace...which he actually wears. After shopping we made our way to Downtown Disney and looked at all the shops there, some of them had some pretty crazy stuff, namely the store that had the Arnold Palmer memorabilia for nearly 500 bucks. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe that night which was fun but I thought the food wasn't very great. Once our dinner was done we headed back to the hotel and watched the Disneyland fireworks from the porch of our hotel room. Me and Lennea then walked to a grocery store to get some food and see if they had cheaper passes for Disneyland. We went through some pretty hood ass areas to get there and once we did we found that the Disney passes were the same price as they were at Disneyland. Lennea ended up stealing one after sketching about it for half an hour.
We woke up early to get to Disneyland before the rush the next day. Me and Con got into the park easy because we already had passes with Lindsey Allen had given us (thanks a bunch Lindsey) but Lennea's pass totally got iced at the gate because it hadn't been activated due to it being stolen. She ended up having to buy a pass. I had a blast at Disney, we hit all the good rides numerous times and stayed there all day. It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be, but I definitely noticed that there were toooons of shady/scummy looking characters there. I never noticed that when I had been there before, I guess when your young you don't noticed that typed of thing. The highlights of the day for me were Indiana Jones, Space and Splash Mountain, Fantasmic, spending 9 dollars on churros and obviously The Enchanted Tiki Room. Connor also got ruined by a bee in Toon Town and his finger swelled up to the size of one of his legs (which is huge) and spent 20 bucks of a piece of the cursed Aztec gold from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Day three in Cali we went to California Adventure, which is the other Disneyland park for all you nooblets. We got there hella early so we could beat the rush like at Disneyland but we found California opens alot later than Disney (I'm sick of writing California Adventure and Disneyland so now they will be referred to as CA and DL) but they did let us into the small shopping area of the park. To beat the rush we decided to wait near the area where the rest of the park was roped off so right when they unroped it we could hit the roller coaster. The park opened and we pretty much speed walked to the coaster area with about a thousand people speed walking behind us. We got there and found that there was already tons of people there waiting in line for the rides, so that was super wack. We got in the line which we assumed was the line for the coaster and waited in it for about an hour before we noticed that they were giving out 3-D glasses to everyone in line, we then realized we weren't even in line for the coaster which sucked, but the ride we actually went on was fun. It was a Toy Story one where you got to shoot guns. The day at CA was fun but not as fun as DL, there just aren't as many good rides at CA. The highlights of the day were the roller coaster, Maliboomer, Big Grizzly Rapids, Tower of Terror and Soarin' Over California.
On day four we rented a car and drove out to Valencia to hit up 6 Flags. The drive was kinda long but it was cool so see some California desert-ish landscape. We got there and it was crazy hot and for some reason Connor thought it would be a good idea to wear a dark blue shirt and pants. So the first thing we did once we got in the park was find a store buy Con some cooler clothes, he ended up buying a yellow Homer Simpson shirt for like 20 boneyays. We tricked Lennea into hitting X-2 as the first ride of the day (which is the gnarliest ride) and she actually enjoyed it so I thought she would be able to do all the rest of the rides but she still wussed out hard for some of them. 6 Flags was fun and we hit all the rides but the lines were so damn long it totally hindered the fun. I also lost my phone on one of the rides so now I am phoneless which is really wack. The highlights of 6 Flags were X-2, Goliath, Scream, Superman, the super sick Batman play they put on and seeing the cop in it almost eat shit really hard trying a jump on a dirtbike, and meeting Pimp Masta Pimp who was some 8 year old black kid who tried to set up a long distance relationship with Lennea.
This is all I am going to write for now, I'll finish the trip in my next post. It will have all the info on Sound and Fury and some stuff about the trip to Hollywood. All the theme parks were super fun and I had a good time at all of them and I'm glad I went even though they cost me tons of money. I would suggest that everyone hits Disneyland up sometime. Thanks for readin!
