LA Road Trip

Katelyn and Bella took their first road trip to LA last week.  Daddy decided to drive at night to avoid the traffic and was hoping they would sleep through the entire ride.  We left Po Po's house around 10pm.  The girls slept until 2:30am.  Bella woke up crying for Mommy and wanted Mommy to hold her hand.  We arrived at the hotel at 4am and everyone went back to sleep.  That morning, the girls met Auntie Jill and Millie at Pretend City, an interactive children's museum.  Bella and Katelyn visited the grocery store and weighed fruits and veggies.

Katelyn liked cooking in the kitchen.

They both loved pretending to go to the dentist office.  Katelyn was the dentist and Bella was the patient.

It was so nice to spend time with Auntie Jill and Millie!

The hotel had bunk beds. The girls were excited to try it out.  In the evenings, Katelyn slept on the bottom bunk while Daddy slept on top.

The girls had breakfast with Mickey and friends.  Bella was scared of most of the characters especially Stitch.  Whenever he walked by, she would be terrified and cry.

She loved Minnie though and held Minnie's hand.

Bella warmed up and smiled for Mickey too for a nice family photo.

Po Po bought the girls' autograph books on the trip.  Katelyn was obsessed with getting as many autographs as she could.  Bella would nap at the hotel while Katelyn stayed at the park with Daddy to find the princesses.

She saw Mickey several times and waited in line each time to see him.  She saw Minnie, Goofy and Pluto too.

The girls love to watch the Doc McStuffins show.  Bella was so excited when she spotted Doc and screamed Doc's name when she saw her.

The girls visited Elsa and Anna.  They watched the new Frozen Live Show at the Hyperion Theater.  The line was really long to get in which resulted in sitting at the very top of the theater.

Bella didn't want to say hi to Olaf.  Katelyn wanted an autograph and picture with him.

At Bug's Land, Po Po, Daddy and Katelyn rode the ladybug boogie ride.

Bella loved Ariel the Mermaid ride, It's a Small World and the carousel.

We ran into Uncle Van, Auntie Lisa and Ellie and rode a couple rides with them.

We met Uncle Fred, Auntie Jenn and Hannah at the Anaheim Packing District.  There was a great selection of foods.  The girls loved the watermelon popsicles at Popbar.

Here's 3 generations.  There was a bench swing at the Packing District while customers waited for their food order.

Katelyn is becoming quite the poser. This is how she posed when Daddy asked to take her picture on  the Tea Cups ride.

Mommy had fun driving Katelyn on Autopia.  The day before Mommy drove Bella.  Bella didn't like the ride and would not want to go back on it the next day.

It was so hot in LA- high 90's.   It was great to cool off going down the water slide and playing in the sprinklers.

Daddy got Katelyn a Fast-Pass to Radiator Springs Cars ride.  She is tall enough to ride it this year.  For the most part she liked the ride, but thought some parts were a little scary.  Although she said she would go on the ride again.  The ride was really fast towards the end and Daddy wasn't able to hold the phone steady, so you can only see Daddy during the last part of the video.




Katelyn loved the Paint the Night electrical parade.  She watched it 6 times and it never got old. Sometimes twice in a day.  The girls got to stay up late every night watching it.   We survived our car ride to and from LA and look forward to future trips back to Disneyland!
