Over UEA (sometimes referred to as Utah Escapes to Anaheim) Mike and I along with Mike's sister (Melissa) and her husband (Steve) went on a little trip! We went to Disneyland, Universal Studios, the San Diego Zoo, and Sea World. It was such a blast! The weather was amazing, the parks weren't very busy, and the company was excellent, which makes for a great vacation!
We all love Disneyland - it never seems to get old no matter how many times we go there. Mike and Steve feel like they should write a book on how to go to Disneyland - they pretty much have it down to an art (fast pass strategies, days of the week to go, places to eat, etc.)!
We saw lots of animals when we went to San Diego. Mike and I had never been to the San Diego Zoo before and were pretty excited to go there - it's HUGE! It makes Hogle Zoo look like a joke! (Sorry Hogle Zoo!) They have awesome habitats that let you get pretty close to the animals. After a morning at the zoo went to Sea World - which was cool, I've only been there once (a long time ago) and couldn't remember much about it. I kinda felt bad for the animals, it seemed mean to make them do lots of shows and have them swim around in shallow pools for people to touch all day. I guess it's no different than a circus (or a zoo), but it just seemed weird to me!
Universal Studios was good - nothing quite compares to Disneyland though! There was a fun new Simpsons ride to go on and the good old back lot tour. It really was fun, there were no lines at all which was great!
This was an awesome way to spend my days off from work - even though I feel like I need a vacation to rest from my vacation! Trips can be a lot of work and make you tired, but they are always worth it!
