Discovery Kingdom

So, when I was with Maria in CA. We went to Discovery Kingdom. It was LOTS of fun. Sorry it took so long to get up here, but my blog wasn't loading up pictures for me for a while. First we went to a lot of the must-see things that Maria was telling me about. First there was....

Tava the Elephant Show

Then there was Shouka the Killer Whale

And this wasn't a must-see but it was new and so we wanted to see it, but it's Ordin's Temple of the Tiger...

It's not like we just saw shows, I did go on some rides in between shows and some while McKay were going on some kid's rides. Maria told me that while they were waiting for me, McKay was looking at the ride I was going to go on and was saying 'ooooh!' while pointing fingers at the ride.

It's JOKER!!!! I Went into this Superman & Batman Store and I just had to have these pictures I also bought a Batman shirt and a Batman Bracelet. And Guess where it was...the boy In case any of you don't know, I am a BIG Batman fan. I LOVE the movie and pretty much everything...I'm just not obsessed. Which is why I LOVE this picture and would actually pose for it...
It was funny the way that I ended up posing. It wasn't even my idea, but I didn't know how to pose and these two girls told me to kiss him on the cheek. Naturally, I did. I mean how many People can say that they have kissed BATMAN?!? It's like a once in a lifetime opportunity! ;)
And I couldn't resist poseing as superman....

This is one of the rides that I went on with McKay. I was surprised how it was actually pretty fun. I mean it wasn't a roller coaster, but I didn't mind going on it with him. I mean it like actually moved around a little bit. And when you hear him laughing, it's hard not to like it.
This one wasn't as fun, but it was still fun because he liked it. He LOVED driving on it all the way around on the 'Safari Drive'.
It's sort of 'my thing to take pictures in front of a fountain, so I chose the Dolphin fountain. Just thought I'd throw it in.

Naturally, you have to have a picture with one of the characters in Discovery Kingdom. The whole trip was LOADS of fun THANKS for taking me Maria!

San Francisco

For those of you that don't know, I went to Maria's house in San Jose CA from June 26-July 11. Just me. :) On Saturday (June 27) we went to San Francisco...yes it was my first time, and i LOVED it. It was SO much fun. We went to china town first. This is me in front of the entrance.

Maria and I in front of the entrance.

After we went down Chinatown we went to little Italy. Just so you know...Calzones has the best pizza crusts that I have ever tasted. I highly recommend it. After that we were walked over to Ghiardelli. If you haven't had their chocolate before, you need to. It tastes SO good. the carmel was my favorite. It was amazing.

I am now a definite fan. :)

We were walking down the street and I decided that I wanted my charicature done. Maria was taking pictures while I was being drawn.
We didn't really take out the camera during it, but we saw a breakdance competition. It was SO cool! I'd never seen one before and it was AWESOME! This picture is the finale when he is flipping over two volunteer's arms. WAY cool.

Alcatraz Island

My first crepe! It was SO good. I had a nutella with bananas, strawberries, pwd sugar and whipped cream. WOW! It was SO good.

This is a monk siting, recognize it?

You can't go to San Francisco and not go to the golden gate bridge. It was beautiful there, the fog makes it look even better...in my opinion.
This is how thick the cables are on the Golden Gate bridge. I know it seems tipical that they would have to be so big, but woah! it's HUGE!

Sunsets at the beach are just perfect aren't they? We went to the beach in San Francisco before we went home.

My name was in San Francisco...till the waves took it away. :(

Just after the sun went down.
I really have to say that San Francisco was one of the funnest places that I have ever been to and maybe ever go to. I wouldn't like to live there but I would definitely visit again.
