Dream of Californication

That was an amazing weekend! I don't think I have ever seen so much in three days!


It started on thursday evening. Caro and I went over to the Evans, where we spent the night, because we would have to leave very early the day after. We woke up at 3.15 in the morning and got in the car at 4.15, as we started our 5 hour long ride to Anaheim, CA. The ride was actually not too bad, it was warm in the car, we had some nice music playing, made a stop to get a starbucks and slept sometimes. Then, at I don't know what time, we arrived in Anaheim!
We went to the MacDonalds to eat some breakfast and went straight to the park. It was my first time in Disneyland, I hadn't even been in Disneyland in Paris, so it was very new to me. All the disney characters were walking around, little kids were all over the place and it just seemed like I was in one big fantasyland!

We rode some rollercoasters and other rides, and also went over to California adventure, which is right next to Disneyland, where we saw a mini-musical (Aladin) and had some more rides. After that, we walked back to the hotel, where we ate pizza, watched a movie and went to sleep.
The day after, we woke up early, because the park opened at 7 in the morning. When we got in the park, there were hardly any lines so we got on the rides very fast. After some rides the Evans went over to California Adventure again, but Caro, Blake and I decided to stay in Disneyland for a bit. We drank coffee and ate breakfast at a very cute place somewhere in Disneyland, and stayed for a little while afterwards. Then, we also went to California adventure, where we hung out for a bit. After that, we decided to leave the park and went to a mall close to the two parks. We walked around a bit, had lunch, went to the hotel to grab some stuff and hung out again. At night, Caro and I went back to disneyland to hang out with Richard, Jackie, Sarah, Robert and Austin. The parade and the fireworks were about to start, so it was crazy busy, but a lot of fun! After seeing some Michael Jackson movie thing in 3D, we headed back to the hotel again.. preparing for the day we had been looking for the most;


LOS ANGELES! We woke up at around 9, which actually felt like we were sleeping in big time (and it felt goooood). We got dressed and ready to go, ate breakfast at MacDonalds again and got in the car. One car went back home, but Kevin took Blake, Tylee, Caro and me to LA! The drive to LA took around an hour. You should have been there when we saw the Hollywood sign, I'm telling you, we went crazy. We got out right next to Hollywood boulevard, walked over the walk of fame, had lunch and got in a van for a tour. We were driven around Hollywood and Beverly Hills, where they showed us big things and celebrity houses. We saw Orlando Bloom's place, some other people's houses and we even drove by the house where Michael Jackson died. Hollywood and Beverly Hills are so pretty, if you're ever looking for a new place.. and you happen to have a lot of money.. you now know where to go!
We got off the tour and went to Madame Tussauds, which was amazing as well. For some reason I had never been in the one in Amsterdam, so it was all new to me and we took a lot of pictures.
When we got out of Madame Tussauds, we got in the car and drove to West Hollywood,
where we saw the famous Tattoo store we know from LA ink! It was so cool to see that place! Unfortunately it barely closed early because of Halloween (we were like 10 minutes late.. our luck, but we could look inside and it was amazing to see. I even got to see some people I recocnized from the show (not Kat von D, but still..) so that was great!
We then got back in the car and drove to Santa Monica pier, which was so beautiful! We ate dinner on the pier, bought funnel cake (which is something American again.. weird stuff but very good) and got in the car to drive back home.

I had such an amazing time! As I said, I have seen so much in such a short amount of time.. I want to say thanks for the Evans for taking us, especially Kevin for driving us all around LA - you guys are amazing!

This year is just getting better and better..
