Bye America...its been a blast!

Its one of those bitter sweet moments where you are sad your holiday adventure is over but also looking forward to sleeping in your own bed...and god forbid eating some vegetables ha ha!  Today we are packing up ready to head for LAX for the trek home...which is no mean feat considering someone has bought way to much stuff (if only I could blame someone else).  Jade is down at the hotel pool complex for one last swim and run around - they have the coolest kids area which has slides and fountains and buckets that tip water on you - so she is in her element!  Our day at Universal Studios was great (after a rocky start with a spoilt brat child) but hey I must admit she has been pretty good this wole trip.  We started with the studio tour which takes about an hour...they drive you all around the complex and show you the back lot where they make all the movies and how they do the special effects and everything.  Drove down Wisteria Lane and saw all the girls houses from Desperate Housewives - they were actually filming that day - but much to Jeremys disappointment it was inside so he didnt get a glimpse of Eva Longoria.  The King Kong part was cool and it made you proud to hear about Weta Digital and listen to Peter Jackson talk.  Jade and I hung out at the Curious George park while Jeremy went off and did The Mummy ride, Jurrasic Park and Terminator rides (which werent really suitable for little people) so that kept him happy.  All in all it was a great day and Jade was very happy to have met and had photos with Shrek and Curious George.  Yesterday we spent our final day at Disneyland going on the rest of the rides so we didnt miss anything...we started with Space Mountain which is a pretty fast rollacoster in the pitch black...Jade was not so impressed with that!  But regained her smile for the Winnie the Pooh ride and her photo with him :)   Another magical day filled with fun rides and things to see...oh and shopping!  Cant wait to show you all the photos.  See you all soon, love D, J & J x
