Happy New Year

So as it turns out Jeremy did a great job of driving the Cadillac through the maze of freeways in LA to get us to our Disneyland hotel for the next 6 nights...thank you GPS!  New Years Eve dawned and we hit Disneyland at 8am for the day...god that place is so magical...you dont have to be a kid to appreciate just how cool it is.  Jade had an absolute ball going on all the rides and meeting Mickey, Minnie and Goofy :)  Towards the end of the day the lines were quite long with 60 minute waits on the main rides...but typical Jade amused herself by talking to all the kids in the line and coped really well.  We stayed for the fireworks display at 9pm - which was amazing by far the best display I have ever seen - then headed back to the hotel at 10pm absolutely beat!  We were then awoken at midnight by the biggest rumbling...I actually thought it was an earthquake in my half asleep state...but no it was another magnificent fireworks display at Disneyland which we got to watch from our hotel balcony.  Happy New Year!!  The next day it was up early again for our bus ride to Legoland, which is about an hour from here, where we spent the first day of 2011 going on the coolest rides :)  And the best part was there were no lines as everyone was either still in bed hungover or at the big New Years Day parade they have here.  Legoland has a totally different feel from Disney, but had heaps of rides which Jade could do on her own which was cool.  One particular rollacoster scared the living daylights out of me...but Jeremy and Jade proceeded to go on it another 4 times!  My favourite part was Miniland, which is a depiction of America in lego, it was amazing...unfortunately I only got a brief look as Jade and Jeremy didnt find it as interesting and were busy looking for the next ride.  Today was a bit of a struggle, it seems the trip, weather and crap food have caught up with J and I and we both have the achy body cold :(  This was made a little worse by a freezing cold, rainy day in which we were on the Grand Tour of LA so in and out of the bus checking out all the sights.  So now its an early night ready for our next adventure...a day at Universal Studios.
