Disneyland and California 2013

California Science Center





 What an amazing machine


 I love this shot. That nose has experienced some
serious heat!!
 We had to walk over and peek in the Coliseum.
 Our first experience with Chick-fil-A....tasty. We figured it 
must be good with the amount of cops eating there. It
was packed with them!


I was looking forward to seeing Endeavour more then anything
on this trip. The California Science Center was cool but the
Space Shuttle is what made it worth the drive. It's almost 
otherworldly walking into the hanger and seeing Endeavour
sitting there. I saw her sitting on the pad once but this
time was much more up close and personal. It was so
 fun spending some with her, but I really wish she was
still flying. When they get the new building built for
Endeavour it's going to be truly amazing. The shuttle
will be displayed in a launch configuration complete with
external tank and SRB's.


Angels vs Athletics

 Walking in

 Ouch....expensive beer

 Check out our seats...front row!!
 Jered Weaver was on fire with 8 strike outs.

 Michael and his ball. The guy in the jacket behind him is
who tossed it to him.
 Josh Hamilton and Mike Trout. Trout and Albert Pujols
hit home runs for the Angels. Josh Hamilton was 2 for 4
with a double.
 Pretzels and beer..... or pop for the kids
 Beautiful stadium

Michael, Yosh my Dad and I took in an Angels game while
we were down there. The Angels have a very nice stadium. It's
close to Disneyland too. Dawn took us and picked us up after
the game. It was maybe a five minute drive if that. Our seats
were killer! Front row about midway between first base
and the right fielder. It was amazing watching a MLB game
from that close. All four of us had an outstanding time. 
Michael got tossed a ball that the outfielders were using
to warm up. How cool is that!? The food and drinks were
tasty but pricey...to be expected. The Angels won 4-1. 
After the game they had a huge fireworks display...all
in all a very cool day.

And this completes our California vacation (about time right). 
Hope you all enjoyed reading about our experiences.
