LIVING THE DREAM !!

For as long as i can remember i have wanted to go to Disneyland ...

today that dream came true .....

What a magical place!





We were there from 9am to 10.30pm ..... a huge day!

The street parade was so enchanting





Unfortunately the fireworks had to be cancelled due to it getting to windy ... never mind, that famous castle looked gorgeous anyway!



Keep smiling :O)

G'DAY from USA

We are having a fab time .... our days are very busy & very full; but fitting in every little bit possible whilst we are here!

Here's what we have been up to since leaving San Francisco.


Picked up our hire car and drove to Monterey


Went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium


one of the highlights at the Aquarium was these little guys ... the Otters ... really cute and loads of personality !


Visited the famous Pebble Beach Golf Course


Travelled 'The Big Sur' along the USA west coast (sort of like our Great Ocean Road)


Stopped at Vista Point at San Simeon ... behind Blake you can see the colonies of Elephant Seals along the beach. An amazing sight up close in their natural environment.



Visited Hearst Castle at San Simeon ... what an amazing place!



Saturday we arrived in Las Vegas ... what can i say ... awesome!!



We've been to M&M World (4 storeys of everything M&M imaginable!!)


Today we went to The Grand Canyon


... visited the Halupai Indian Village

I think i have taken about a thousand photos and will share lots more when we get home.

Here in Las Vegas for another day then off the DisneyLand!
