Travel, Restaurant experience

‘You do?’ my husband questioned back to my question of ‘Would you like to go to Disneyland for Christmas break?’ Nah… ‘Of course I do - do you think I’m just throwing random questions at you just for the fun of it?’ – I mumbled. That was the first of many hints I start scattering in the early parts of last November. He has this CH condition (Crowd Hater) for some time and he tries to avoid them as much as possible. His simple yet solid formula - Disneyland equal lots of people multiplied by Christmas means lots and lots of people. Nonsense! Trust me. It won’t be that bad.

Ay yai yai! I was so wrong on that assumption but my good husband didn’t participate in any ‘I told you so’ dialogue.  Ha ha ha, who said that I’m perfect? Honestly, aren’t you supposedly opening your presents AT HOME? I told that to total strangers all around us with my silenced voice but my husband heard loud and clear me saying it in Japanese

Although very crowded on Christmas Day, it was spectacular with parade and fireworks followed by powdery snow made by machine. It was magical!!! I think to myself, What a wonderful world. Color of the rainbows pretty in the …wait, why were there more people here on Thursday after Christmas? Who wants to wait 200 minutes for a 2 minute ride. We mostly did people watching on that day and look for souvenirs for my grand kids…What the heck is with this astronomical pricing! This unfortunately I said in English. The magical Kingdom has no recession whatsoever.Our favorite attractions here in Disneyland are Space Mountain, Captain EO, Prates of the Caribbean, Star Tours.

My husband rode the California Screaming roller coaster at California Adventure Park. Here he was perfecting his scream before the start of the run. Honey? I can’t hear you. Scream louder!

We saw a mini version of Aladdin the musical. Genie was hilarious with current humor, even danced Gangnam Style. We’ve never had a friend like him.’Cars’ ride. Most everybody were taking the picture of ride photo using iPhone instead of purchasing it, this saved us a few bucks.Mickey’s Fun WheelWorld of Color show was fantastic! Our other favorite rides here were Soarin’ Over California, Toy Story Midway Mania and The Bakery Tour also was interesting

We dined in a 4 star restaurant found on “Open Table”. Marche Moderne was on the third floor of a very upscale-mall. It was amazing! A female server was awesome too. Lovely beet salad.

Near our hotel. The cross of mega church looked like it was suspended in the air.

We tried Umami Burger in Anaheim. Delicious!

We saw this street sign on the way to Huntington Beach. Let’s have a lunch at the Burger King at MacDonald street. Yeah let’s!

California! Here I am.

Hello Ocean!…bit cold reception.

Our main reason to come to Huntington Beach is this macarons at Baguetier Bakery. Very Very good!While I was trying to decide which flavor, Cos Play girls popped in. Adorable and unique.
Raspberry tiramisu.

I always feel some let down when you know the time comes to the end of a fabulous trip. Let’s do it again next Christmas!? Let’s ‘Not’ said my husband.

A few days later my son came home from his Japan trip too. Yumm..Tokyo Banana! I’m so not get on the scale for a few weeks.
