California Adventure

The following day we went to California Adventure. It was my second time visiting but Jacob's and Riley's first time. We were looking forward to the Cars ride, very exciting!

I don't remember much from my first visit to CA Adventure which was many years ago. This visit felt like my first time and it was pretty cool walking around taking in everything.

The Halloween decorations were neat ...

.... and it was especially awesome to see buildings decorated as Cars, the movie. Here is where they sold the pumpkin churros with pumpkin flavored sprinkles. We couldn't finish them. The pumpkin flavor was very overwhelming. We felt bad for throwing half of our churros away. We should have just bought one and shared it.

Isn't this neat? It made you feel like you were in the real movie set, if it was a real set.

We walked around a little. All the decorations and the layout is so neat.

Jacob and I got chinese food ... Riley got a huge sourdough mac n cheese bowl. His dad helped him finish it.

As you can imagine the Cars ride line was SO long, over an hour wait. They even discouraged us from standing in line until a later time but we didn't mind.

Riley kept himself busy. I was admiring the decorative details.

Finally our turn!

I sat on the driver's seat and we purposely sat Riley on the edge so he could enjoy the ride even more.

At one point the racer goes super fast ... that was so fun! Riley was giggling.

We got on Soaring Around the World ride and although it was pretty cool at times I had to close my eyes. You sit down on a long row where your feet dangle, put on a seat belt, then your row raises for I don't know how high but it makes you feel like you're very high up. The screen is all around and you get an eagle eyes view, that at times would cause me to get anxiety. That is when I had to close my eyes. I don't think I would want to get on it again.

We walked over to Plaza de la Familia. We like the movie Coco so it was pretty neat seeing things from the movie.

Jacob and Riley got on the big ferris wheel. I didn't want to. It's just not my thing. Jacob said it was nervewracking because the baskets they were riding on would swing outward whenever the ferris wheel would be in motion.

We definitely want to come back and spend more time at CA Adventure. Hopefully whenever we visit again it wont rain because there was a water ride that seemed fun that we would like to go on.

The last two days had definitely been a lot of fun but my feet were super achy from walking too much and standing for way too long.
