At the very end of August and some of
September, we flew down to LAX for a multi-purpose vacation. The
primary intent was to attend the wedding of my friends Clara and
Mahesh, with whom I went to RPI. But since we were going to be
in the area, we decided to spend some time at Disneyland again... and
we added a day at Knott's Berry Farm as well! We had a lot of
fun and got to ride some of the things that we missed last time, like
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The kids loved that a lot.
Knott's was OK, but we didn't see all of the park, because the day was
a bit rushed and Jarod fell ill. About the only complaint I had
about the whole event was this damn cricket that got into the walls of
our room and chirped all night long. Drove me nuts. :-)
August 30
This is our first day at Disneyland. The night
before was late as we didn't get to our hotel until 11pm or
so. But, we still had a great day at the park. Not
too many pictures from this day. The kids were easing into
it. |
Um, not sure who that is. |
Here's the family in Tarzan's treehouse. |
Back down on the ground under the tree house. |
August 31
This was our big day in Disneyland. We're well
rested and have a full day. We also went to Disney's
California Adventure (DCA) just to make sure we saw everything.

This is in DCA. |
This is in a huge jungle gym play area for kids... like what
you see in a Burger King or something, but about 1,000x
larger. And that's Chip! |
We rode this merry-go-round last time. You know, it's
called a merry-go-round and not a carousel, because a carousel
has only horses. |
September 1
One of my very good friends from college, Clara, got
married on this day. She married her boyfriend from
college, Mahesh, who I know only somewhat. Her wedding was
the real reason for the trip and it was well worth it. I
was so happy to see her again and I have to say, I have never
seen two people more in love. Congratulations Clara and
Mahesh! |
Here is Clara and her father, starting their walk down the
aisle. |
At the altar. By the way, this is on a boat. |
After all the marrying is done, we're back topside playing
games, singing songs and having a great time. |

September 2
We decided to try Knott's Berry Farm on our last
day. It seems like a nice park, but it's definitely not as
kid oriented as Disneyland. It tries to find a
middle-ground. We didn't see the whole park either...
Jarod got sick and we went back to the hotel and then returned
again later. Only 2 pictures and a movie, but it was fun! |
