Shields date factory!
The Zoo!
Sea world, feeding the seals and SHAMU!
After the last few days it is our opinion that they should put a napping place in the parks somewhere so the adults can nap! We are exhausted after our days in the parks and marvel and the children who not only keep up with everything but do laps around the adults . . . dancing non the less!!! the energy is truly amazing . . .sigh . . . remember those days!
Anyway over the last few days we have been taking in all the parks, Universal studios, Disney Land, California adventure, San Diego Zoo . . . and Sea World tomorrow. I imagine that after tomorrow we will be parked out . Not much has changed at Disney since I was there 14 years ago, except some of the paint has faded and it seems MUCH smaller now. But still lots of fun! Universal studios was excellent - my favorite 14years ago was the studio tour and it was my favorite this time as well - I even saw Wisteria lane. They were filming so I just saw the entrance to the street - but could recognize the houses etc!!!
We have also been to Indio (palm springs) to visit some family Friends from home. We went to the thousand palm oasis; an oasis in the desert that grows cuz its on the San Andreas Fault line. the water from the Fault line bubbles up to the surface and then palm trees grow - wolla!!!!!!
We also many crops of veggies and fruit and watched them harvest lettuce. Did you know that dates grow on Palm trees??? They do and it is a very labour intensive crop - we obviously toured an date farm which was very interesting.
So we sit in San Diego enjoying a quiet evening desperately trying to stay awake past 9pm it is only 8 now and we are fading fast!!
Sorry guys - internet today will not allow me to upload pics - will try later!
