We recently came back from vacation and here is what I posted on my local board.....
We just got back from Southern California and it was a great trip all around; if I weren't afraid of big earthquakes I'd move the whole family there : )
We stayed AWAY from the madness of Los Angeles and enjoyed Southern Orange County, specifically we spent alot of time with friends and relatives in Mission Viejo/Ladera Ranch. These are beautiful and well-appointed communities to raise families in or retire. Think of the community of Coto de Caza as in the show Housewives of Orange County on the Bravo Channel (one hill away)
We also took the time to drive to the casinos in the desert run by the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, not far from Palm Springs. Next door to the casino/hotel, we enjoyed shopping at the big outlets of Desert hills/Cabazon. I've never seen an outlet place as busy as that one! Where did all those people drive in from, lol! As far as the casino, I broke even but the rest lost. I would never hit the Max Bet button, but they did duhhhhh lol.
We had a fabulous time at Disneyland and Calif. Adventure Parks. It was (3) 14-hour days in a row doing that so we were t-i-r-e-d after those days but would do it again! Rode everything, sometimes over and over as in the big roller coaster rides...we were the loudest on purpose LOL LOL!
But we really enjoyed the "character dining" at the breakfast buffets each morning at Goofy's Kitchen in the Disney hotel. The food was amazingly delicious; so popular that this buffet needs to be booked weeks in advance. And each character such as Goofy, Minnie, Cinderella's fairy godmother and so on, gave one on one attention; I love when Goofy does his hip hop dancing; he looks so happy and CRAZY doing it, made everyone smile big from ear to ear : )
We also ate at restaurants we don't have in Hawaii YET, such as Claimjumper and we shopped at stores not in Hawaii yet...I think I bought out all of Kohls lol since they had a great sale. It is so much like a Mervyn's store.
11 days in Orange county was not near enough; we plan to go back in November, and will drive to Las Vegas from there or at least that is in the plan : )
