Honeymoon Day 4 - Tanger, Primm, Las Vegas

From Anaheim, first stop of the day was to Tanger Factory outlets...shopping for branded goods at a great price....was so busy shopping that we didn't take any pictures....i must say the shopping here was really good!

Next stop was to Primm Factory outlets. The place here was a little older....lesser shops that entice me but it was still not too bad.

We kept going to Coach at every factory outlet venue we went....its a worthy brand to purchase in the US and also becos we were helping others to check out stuff.

A bag that I was deciding to buy or not....didn't buy and i now can't get over it!!!

We arrived in Las Vegas that evening....checked into the hotel and off we went to roam the street.....the city that remains colourful and exciting through the night!

Wynn Casino...

Caesar Palace...

Every hotel has a theme.....its so so awesome!

We walked down the streets...the weather was cooling....it was great but we were really tired....i brought dear to The Venetian...the place i stayed when i was there for Business Conference in April this year. For me to relieve the memories there and for Dear to see what a wonderful place it was. :)

It was nice to go back to The Venetian again.....though i didn't stay there this time, i'm glad i could go there with Dear....to show him where I had stayed the last time :)

Honeymoon Day 3 (LA - Walk of Fame, Universal Studios)

Early in the morning, we set off from Anaheim back to Los Angeles. We travelled onwards to Holloywood...

Visited Mann's Chinese Theatre

and of course Walk of Fame....

Thereafter, we headed to Universal Studios:

There were many sections.....there was 4D shows such as Shrek:


Also managed to catch Shrek and Fiona for a photo each :)



Took the new Simpsons simulated rides.....it was so exciting! Felt like i was on a real rollercoaster.....deardear was dizzy after that cos he got motion sickness.....poorthing!



Thereafter, i went to the Haunted House of the Vampire.....it was quite creepy....Dear and I misread a notice outside and thought that it was not suitable for those with motion sickness, so i went in there alone......got scared stiff till Mr Vampire befriended poor me who was alone while everyone was going in as a couple or group....hahhaa



Dear got a treat. Though he didn't visited the Haunted house, he managed to catch Spongebob Squarepants!


We were reunited later and got this tram driving past us with song and dance....

We were having lunch when Dora the Explorer pat me on the back and said 'hi' ...hahaha..how often does that happen in your life?

Next, we went to the Waterworld...saw the setting of the movie and watched a skit there...very real....

The merchandise in all the shops there were really enticing as well...

We took the tram and visited different settings of Hollywood....experienced how a thunderstorm and flood is created in Jurrasic Park, saw the homes of Desperate Housewives, saw the setting of a plane crash...saw Jaws the shark.....

experienced simulated earthquake in San Francisco train station....and even how cars explode.We took the roller coaster ride at Jurassic Park station.....as well....more pictures.....At the end of the day...we awarded ourselves.....And went back having had another fufilling day!

Honeymoon Day 2-Anaheim, Disneyland, California Adventureland

We set off early that day....queueing to enter the oldest Disneyland in the world:

Our cute disney passes of Mickey and Minnie Mouse:

This disneyland is much bigger than the one in HK, with a lot more rides meant for the adults....and a variety of rides, that may be suitable even for the faint-hearted like me! There are rides that are just entertaining, educational or very mild like the 3D and 4D shows....

After the Grizzly Water Ride:

The architecture there is really sweet and cute....every corner, every lane is a photo op. Here we are at Minnie's house:
And the must have picture with the Walt Disney castle!

And of course, we took pictures with as many characters as we can:

The famous Mickey and Minnie....

Mr Incredibles and Helen, the Elastigirl (a.k.a Mrs Incredibles):

Also, how amazing they can get real people to pose as characters that look just like the storybooks....here's Snow White:

Jack from Pirates of the Caribbean....his usual aloof self...haha.....

Goofy in Halloween costume......

The merchandise there were all so cute.....everything is tempting for me to buy.....

Look at the Disney and Halloween cupcakes!

My Mickey Mouse cookies and cream ice-cream sandwich....yummy!!

In between during the day, we crossed over to the park opposite....the California Adventureland. This park is a subsidiary of Disneyland and had similar Disney characters, but was more focussed on the rides. The sights were also more focussed on California.......Eg. there was a ride called "Soaring over California"...it was really awesome.....we were like "pilots" soaring over California, we could feel the wind and can see the different famous landmarks in California as if we were physically in each location!......

Deardear took this 360 roller coaster....i was scared stiff and didn't take =p

We also went to the Animation Academy...where we learnt how the cartoonist sketch and make their characters come to life.....we even had a hands on experience sketching winnie the pooh.....it wasn't that tough after all :)

Visiting Disneyland won't be complete without visiting the Parade of Dreams! So we cross back to Disneyland to catch this:

We were there from morning till the time the park closed....to catch the other not to be missed fireworks show.....it was so awesome, we decided not to take any pictures, videos but to enjoy the show and capture it in our memories :)

This picture is another must have for us.....the first time we visited Disneyland together was in HK in 2006....it was also Halloween then and we had a similar picture taken....its pure coincidence that it is Halloween period again this time when we visited Disneyland :)

Before we left for the night, we actually caught a glimpse of Mickey and Minnie in their Halloween costume!!! Lucky us....got to take another picture with them each :)

We went back on the last bus back to the hotel.....tired but extremely satisfied with the fun we had the entire day :)
