.round town

As it is pretty late I am just going to post pictures and write not so detail subtitles.

Lunch in Old Pasadena @ some Asian nom nom noodle place.

IN-N-OUTs are everywhere

So like this is parking for all of CA apparently

next day we went to 6 Flags. Mom went on a couple rides which was pretty impressive except that she threw up on the 2nd one....still quite the feat.

After a few rides Batman was the one that made me sick. It could have been the culmination of the 2 or 3 rides before it, but this was the one that made me slightly lightheaded.

I had plans to record this, but I didn't want to risk losing my phone.

Ending our day at 6 Flags we just went back to the hotel and rested...oh had some more Yoshinoya (can't get enough of that stuff).

SMOG...I mean CA haze creates the best sunsets

THAI TOWN...well technically like 7 blocks away from actual THAI town. We decided to go to the original Yai's in THAI town...food was delicious.

THAI desserts w/ tradition asian snack...like Yan Yans

The oddest thing I found I think...YUM...I guess?

.Vacation mode activate (updated)

Family vacation to California….start!
flight takes off at 6.30am Thanks to DoHS/TSA we get to wake up super early to make it on time.
~4.30am


Waiting for our flight I decided to check my camera to make sure it was functioning and had a CF card. I would probably RAGE if after taking multiple photographs I find that I had not charged the batteries and had no memory card.

not exactly our plane, but very similar. Speaking with my parents I found that we were to use Alaska Airlines; this was wonderful news as they are the sponsors of the Portland Timbers. Alaska Airlines has a promotion for anyone wearing a jersey they would get priority seating; I wanted to take advantage of this wonderful benefit of supporting my team. It turns out we were in fact flying Horizon, the ugly step sister of Alaska Airlines, who I found did not have this special "perk." I was devastated.


Feeling pretty bummed the whole flight, I got a nice surprise waiting after disembarked from our flight. There it was glimmering in the SF sun.
I was reminded, though it would have been nice to have priority seating, Im not a fan because of these "perks" PTFC! RCTID!


Currently Im stuck in SF as our flight is delayed. If I take more pictures between now and then I will update this post.

(update)
Finally arrived in LA…it smells wonderful….
After getting the rental, we had to stop by a family friend's to say hello and take care of some business.
Sam and I left our parents and I drove to the hotel. Driving in LA is totally awesome and not at all a parking lot.


After crashing in the hotel for a bit we got hungry and so We went in search of Yoshinoya

Mission Accomplished!




Next door we found this restaurant….

They had the worst service ever. It took about 10min to get us 8 biscuits and 2 chicken sandwiches. To make matters worse this is what the sandwich looked like.

BURNT!!!!
Church's is an EPIC FAIL. I will give it another chance latter down the road but, give me chick-fil-a any day!

well that concludes day one. Im pretty sure I will have nothing new to report as it is now getting late and I doubt we will go out doing anything.
