It was mindblowing! The view was stunning, the rides were terrifying and brilliant and stunning, the shows and special effects were spectacular and the back lots were so memorable - even the lunch was great, gourmet shrimps, salmon and chocolate covered strawberries ( not altogether of course!). It was easy to while... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723910&go=linfarrington Mon, 20 Aug 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723827&go=linfarrington Another perfect day playing! We visited Legoland at Carlsbad, about an hour south of Anaheim which is already south of Los Angeles. The coastal views were great but were pretty good on coastal views ourselves! There were more rides than Lego constructions but it was a great fun day. We especially enjoyed programming the computer bots to go on a treasure hunt.... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723827&go=linfarrington Sun, 19 Aug 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723603&go=linfarrington Today certainly was a " Magic Moment" for us travellers! We got to Disneyland just after 7am and proceeded to all our favourite rides and the odd rides that we hadn't got to because the queues were too long. It started to warm up and we sort the refuge of the air conditioned shops. ( Not much of a refuge, Pat thought! ) The economy is so bad here they were truly delighted to see Australians spe... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723603&go=linfarrington Sat, 18 Aug 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723493&go=linfarrington How sad when you can go to an amazing theme park like Californian Adventure and decide that it pales into insignificance compared to Disneyland. If we'd come here first we'd have been enchanted by the Bug's Life, Toy Story, Monster's Inc, Cars worlds. The rides were probably more of the adventurous sort which definitely DID'T suit us - but there was still plenty to keep us busy from 9 am to 3 pm a... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723493&go=linfarrington Fri, 17 Aug 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723335&go=linfarrington Like Nike - just do it! If you have expectations of what it could be like double them and you're getting close! It's not only a kid's dream it's great fun as an adult and if you're an adult with a kid it is simply stupendous- it gives you permission to be as silly as you like and fun is the only requirement. We went on rides, took photos, laughed and laughed and laughed some more. It is your... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723335&go=linfarrington Thu, 16 Aug 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723294&go=linfarrington Today was our last day in NY and we couldn't spend it any other way! We started the day with a trip to the NBC studios ( they produce the American Today show) it was a fantastic and nostalgic experience for us ( Ava didn't k ow half the shows as they were made and dropped before she was born!) but Pat And I had a lovely time recalling Bonanza, I dream of Jeanie, Saturday Night live and many mor... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723294&go=linfarrington Wed, 15 Aug 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723037&go=linfarrington Today was a typical New Yorker! It started with a bike ride in Central Park. Definitely one to tick off the bucket list! Before hiring our bikes we visited the Dakota building, home to John Lennon and where he was shot. Then onto visit his Imagine memorial and the Strawberry Fields of Central Park. We were corny enough to eat strawberries as we did it! The Park is bigger than you imagine and very... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723037&go=linfarrington Tue, 14 Aug 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723039&go=linfarrington We headed back to New York City by train arriving at our hotel early enough to dump our bags, then straight off to the Statue of Liberty.We toured downtown New York before heading out to Yankee stadium on the Subway for our first baseball game. Yankees won easily and we loved the hot dogs!... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2723039&go=linfarrington Mon, 13 Aug 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2722695&go=linfarrington Wow, I feel so very priviledged to be able to share such a great family celebration! The day was wonderful, warm and clear, which after a few sprinkles of rain yesterday, was a good job. The Farrington clan was well represented along along with the American in-laws and Heather and Colin can be justifiable proud of their beautiful children and gorgeous grandchildren. We spent a good day BBQing, ... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2722695&go=linfarrington Sun, 12 Aug 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2722561&go=linfarrington We headed off to Meriden at 7am only to realize the train left in 20 mins - our taxi driver told us the drive from Seekonk to the Providence train station would be 20 mins, but when we let him know the train left at 7.20 we arrived at the train station in 7 mins- 7 minutes!!!! We ende d up with time to spare! It was fantastic to see Heather waiting for us at New Haven ( saving us a nearly 2 hou... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2722561&go=linfarrington Sat, 11 Aug 2012 12:00:00 GMT
