A College Graduation Celebration w/my Mom! (Update! I leave tomorrow! Pg. 14 #208)

Wow, one month only?! Crazy! We just got the information on my sister's graduation. Can't believe she's almost done. :eek:

YAY for going to Disneyland!!! Ahh I'm so jealous, I really want to go back to there.
 
That is super exciting! I want to go to LA so bad! I hope you get the camera in time so we can see pix of everything!!! Have fun and good luck with those finals!
 
That will be so exciting! Have fun girl! And...I hope you didn't catch a flu!

Thanks! I feel better today so hopefully I will be fine for my trip!

how fun!!!!!!

One of my roomies from WDW lives out in Cali and I've been wanting to go visit so bad but she is just starting ultra sound school and is super busy with school and working at a hospital for her school that she would not have time :( I'm hoping maybe next summer I can fly out for a long weekend!!

Safe travels :)

Thanks!! I can't wait to tell you guys about it.

I didn't really like my last time in Disney, but I was also too young to appreciate what I would now. Plus I didn't know how different it was from WDW and ended up being disappointed b/c I hadn't been to WDW for 4 years and missed it!

That is super exciting! I want to go to LA so bad! I hope you get the camera in time so we can see pix of everything!!! Have fun and good luck with those finals!

Thanks! I hope I get it in time too, otherwise I will make my friend take a million pics! I need to catch up on your PTR later tonight!

I'm in!

I'll probably be at MVMCP that night too!

And I dont have an ADR for Flying Fish but that's where I was going to try to walk in to eat at the bar since I'm solo this next trip. So maybe I'll see ya around.

Awesome!! I've always wanted to do a solo trip but I don't know if I could handle it all by myself. Thanks for reading!
 
Hey guys! I am back from LA! I think I got sick while I was there so I'm not feeling too great right now. Disneyland was so much fun! I regret not staying longer but Belle had promised some friends that we would go out with them that night, so we were not there all day. Anyways, I thought I'd post some pictures from the trip and share some stories with you guys! I'm off to class in a few minutes, but here are some pictures to get you started...

First we went to see a taping of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien! It was a lot of fun, but I liked seeing Jay Leno there a few years ago better. Conan was very funny but didn't seem to want to interact with the audience very much as I remember Jay doing.

The we ate dinner at Katsuya in Hollywood. It was right on Hollywood & Vine so of course I just kept thinking of Disney! (Weird, because I know the Disney versions are named after the Hollywood ones! I just can't help but find Disney in everywhere I go, though!) If you follow celebrity gossip at all, you'll know that famous people are often seen coming out of the restaurant. We were hoping to see some celebrities in there, especially since when we got there we saw paparazzi outside!

We ordered some YUMMY drinks...these could possibly win in a battle of the best drinks ever with some of the WDW drinks! The pink one is a watermelon cucumber mojito and the green one was a kiwi cocktail!

Dinner was yummy and since I had been traveling all day we just decided to go back to Belle's apartment so that we would be well rested for Disney in the morning! But, what celebrities did we see on our way out?! Stay tuned!
 
Oh c'mon..don't leave us with a cliffhanger! :laughing:

That's so funny you were on Hollywood & Vine!! Of course you thought of DHS! :)
 
That stinks you got sick but glad you had fun at Disneyland! Can't wait to hear what you have to say. popcorn::
 
those drinks do look yummy! i could go for one right now! glad you had fun, sorry you feel sickly!
 
I can't wait to hear more!! sorry you are sick :( I found out I have an ear infection now and the ear drops were $109 bc my insurance sucks and of course I didn't pay it but between an hour at the pharmacy and a horrible day at work, I just had to sit in my car and have a good cry!!

Hopefully your day was better...38 days for us and it can't come soon enough!
 
Awwwwww! Really???? Who was it? My DH always makes fun of me because I am a celebrity gossip queen! LOL I HAVE to know who you saw and I hope you got some pix!
 
those drinks look great.

They tasted great, too!

Oh c'mon..don't leave us with a cliffhanger! :laughing:

I know, I am such a nerd!!

I know :( I did NOT like Disneyland my first time there so I'm excited to tell you about this trip!

Thanks momma!

Awww! I hope you are feeling better now! Yeah I had to pick up my asthma medicine and it was pretty expensive, too.

Awwwwww! Really???? Who was it? My DH always makes fun of me because I am a celebrity gossip queen! LOL I HAVE to know who you saw and I hope you got some pix!

Hahaha I am glad you are a celeb gossip queen! Then you'll understand the fact that on my whole trip I was just looking around, waiting to see someone famous! Except there are so, so, so many people there TRYING to be famous that sometimes it's hard.
 
OK guys. So I just need to vent about my week. I've been sick ever since I got back from LA. TERRIBLE sore throat, yucky cough, runny nose, etc. I barely have a voice left and I had to do a presentation for class yesterday :eek: One more week of class before finals and of course I've had to miss most of my classes this week because I feel like death on two legs. Anyways, on with the show...

So which celebrity did we see outside of Katsuya!?!











Who do you think?











Did we freak out?!










Did we get a picture with them?!











Were they nice?!












Okay, I'll just tell you.....






We saw.....











NO ONE!!!

That's right. Of all the tabloid photos I see of people coming out of there, we saw absolutely no one famous. Even the paparazzi were standing outside waiting for a celebrity to eat there!! Sorry to trick you guys, but I wanted you to feel how I felt when we were in there wondering if we would see someone or not, :lmao:

Okay, so we went back to Belle's apartment and just went to sleep because we wanted to wake up early for DISNEYLAND! Now my first trip here was back in 2003. I loved Disney but I didn't appreciate it the way I do now. Plus, I had NO idea that the two resorts were totally different. You can imagine how disappointed I was when I got there and saw how much smaller everything was.

So this time going into it I kind of knew what to expect and was actually looking forward to it. We were not going to be able to spend all day there or do the other park, California Adventure, but I was still excited.

We got there around 9:00AM - it opened at 8:00. But we still got a great parking spot on the 2nd floor. Those parking garages are like clockwork and I LOVE how easy it is to get in and out.

We walked to the stop for the tram and while we were waiting I took some pictures of the cool signs up for Halloween.

So cute! I'm totally being Cruella de Vil for Halloween next year. I think it would be funny considering I'm a huge dog lover and animal rights person, LOL! So then we walked in through the bag check to the plaza that separates one park from the other. Someday I want to check out the other side!

Then I took this amazingly crooked pictures of the decorations above the gates to the original Disney park.

Stay tuned to see the inside of the park!
 
Since I've never been to Disneyland, I can't wait to see inside the park!
 
Ahhh I'm excited just looking at the entrance! Man I want to go back to Disneyland.
 
you saw no one? bummer....if you were around LA for any amount of time, you would see someone eventually.
 
That stinks that you didn't see anyone! We went to Cape Cod several times for vacations. Every time we go, I drag DH out to Hyannis and get on the beach next to the Kennedy compound. The first time we ever found it, we drove around FOREVER until we got to it! I was not giving up though! When we finally found it, we saw the signs that said stay off the beach and no tresspassing. Well, that didn't stop me! I had mu picture taken on the beach right in front of the main house! Maybe a bit psycho, but as close to a celebrity as I could get. And, I don't even like the Kennedys!!! I am a huge Marilyn Monroe fan and blame them for her death. Rant..... Anyway, I have also seen McKenzie Phillips at a local ice cream stand here. And about 2 years ago I was in Target and Paul Sorvino was shopping. I circled him about 25 times...he must've thought I was a serious stalker!!! LOL Just thought I'd share my celebrity run-ins with you!

Can't wait to see the inside of DL!!!!! I am determined to get there one day!!!
