Meet and Greet Disney Characters at Hollywood Studios -- Disney World!

Kids meet Minnie and Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto at Hollywood and Vine Seasonal Dine Restaurant. Lunch Buffet was really nice! Lot of food choices! for us its worth the price we paid! For 4 person, we paid about $200 plus. They charge about $60 per adults and $30 per kids I guess. Kids got a chance to met their favorite Disney Characters and able to see them up close.

We also meet Chewbacca and Kylo Ren at Star Wars Launch Bay. I was amazed how tall Chewbacca is! It was a fun experience! 

Here's the video of our Hollywood Studio Adventure, Meet and Greet and of course the RIDES! 

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Experience...

On the four roller coaster rides we did at Magic Kingdom, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is one of our favorite! It was the most amazing ride we did! Its fun and exciting, not very intense, its very enjoyable to ride, I can ride this all over again! So if you go to Magic Kingdom, don't miss the Seven Dwarfs Mine train! your family will absolutely love it! 

Here's our video and experiences at this 4 exciting rides: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, The Speedway, Space Ranger and Space Mountain! Enjoy!

Roller Coaster Experience at Magic Kingdom DisneyWorld

My first experience on riding a roller coaster for the first time was fun, exciting, nervous, scared, mixed emotions. I am excited because at last I will be able to experience it for the first time as well as mike and the kids. Its their first time too! We had a blast! Imagine we did 14 rides on our first day at Magic Kingdom DisneyWorld, four of the rides are roller coaster. The first one we did was the Thunder Mountain, it was really fun! I like it! We all like it! But at the end of this roller coaster ride, i can feel my knees and legs are shaking. I can't even get up! That's very intense for a first timer but it never stop me to try another roller coaster rides on that day! We did Barnstormer, Space Mountain and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! I am so amazed how brave my kids are especially my 10 year old daughter, she even wanted to be at the front raw when we did the Space Mountain! That was an amazing experience that we will never forget! We will surely come back next time in a couple years! Maybe we will go to Disneyland next time so will see!

Here's the two videos of our Magic Kingdom Experiences and Rides!

No video on our space mountain rides, too dark to take a video!

Animal Kingdom Lodge Experience

It's been a year since our last visit at DisneyWorld Florida! Just want to share our lifetime experience! We stayed at Jambo House Animal Kingdom Lodge for 5 nights and we love it! We arrived around 7:45 P.M so the lighting inside the lobby was kind a dark, but it was okay, the light and design of the lobby was really magical. The room was really nice and clean. The service is good too!  We got the Savannah View! We got a chance to see giraffes, birds and other animals. It's nice to wake up in the morning and see the animals at the balcony. Kids really love it! The pool is really nice and  the only thing that my husband concern was the restaurant, he thinks its overrated to the price we paid, he also doesn't like the service at Mara Restaurant. The gift shop at Zawadi Marketplace was really nice and the people who works there was very friendly. So overall we will give it a 4 STARS!

Here's the videos of our stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge!

We absolutely recommend this place! We will surely stay here again on our next visit to DisneyWorld!

The Open Sea Monterey Bay Aquarium

Love this sea turtle. I got a nice photo of him swimming around. They are pretty amazing.

Look at this great white shark at the Open Sea Montere'y Bay Aquarium. They are scary!

Pretty jellyfish, they are huge! We see different kind of jelly fish there. When you are inside the Open Sea, you will feel like you are under the ocean.

Seals and Sea lions at Pier39

That was pretty amazing when we saw all those seals and sea lions at pier39. I'm  glad we got a chance to see it and the kids love it! We bought them a seal toy but Dustin lost his. I am not sure when he left it but Dana still have hers and they take turns to play with it. This photo taken last month of September in our 3 days stay at San Francisco.

The Crooked Street, San Francisco

This is one of the most popular sight seeing in San Francisco and we are glad that we get a chance to see it. It was pretty nice out there and the view is really amazing. The weather is nice and that time we had our jeep tour and drove here at the popular Lombard crookedest street here in San Francisco. This photo taken last month end of September. What a nice trip!

Fisherman's Warf, San Francisco

The Alcatras Island

At the top of the ship!

Old Boats at Fisherman's Warf San Francisco is truly amazing! We got a chance to see inside the boat and see what's in there. It was a lot of fun and Dustin is really into it. Daddy showed him everything, you can see the Alcatras Island from there. The view of San Francisco City was very  nice, the weather is perfect! So far, we love everything we see at Fisherman's Warf! Next stop is the Pier39! We're looking forward to see the sea lions and seals!

Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco!

This is the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. This photo taken last week in our vacation. As you can see it was kind a foggy and you can't hardly see the top of the bridge. Thanks to Paul, our jeep tour driver for taking us at the Golden Gate Bridge. That bridge look awesome! I'm very happy to see it with my own eyes! I only see this bridge through picture and at the movies and now at last, we get a chance to see it ourselves and took a photos of us. We don't mind the cold though hehe :-) the trip was fun and very enjoyable.

sweaters

Some parts of the country are cold in summer and even much colder in winter. When we went to San Francisco for our vacation, we bring our sweaters and jackets. I guess if we need more, we can still buy it in San Francisco or online. Mike told me that the weather in San Francisco is different here in Colorado so we better pack sweaters and jackets for me and the kids. When we arrive at San Francisco, it was foggy and chilly. We also drove at 17miles drive. That was an amazing scenery I’ve seen! It was little bit chilly that’s why we didn’t stay long, we just take photos and go back to the car after.

Well, I can tell that fall is coming, it started to get chilly here in the mountains especially at night. I bet we will have early winter this year, I am not sure but will see because last year we had snow on December and it only last about a week.

Anyhow, we better buy more sweater for my family. Better to get ready in a cold night. So if you are looking for sweaters either Plus Size Sweaters, coats and jackets, look for jessicalondon.com, they have all the size you need.

Hawaii houses

I guess I am not the only one who are browsing Hawaii houses. I will consider to live in Hawaii but I don’t think my husband would love to live there. I am just helping my friend who are planning to move in Hawaii next year. They are still looking for a nice property in Hawaii. Well, Hawaii is the place where everyone thinks it’s a Paradise and I think its true. I bet they really taking care of the area since many people like to visit Hawaii for vacation or even people want to move and live their for good. Isn’t that wonderful if you can find a property in the island of Hawaii? You will absolutely enjoy the breathtaking views and beaches!

The place where I live right now is way too far in the ocean and I miss the ocean a lot especially the fresh sea food! That’s why I am looking forward to see the ocean again when we get a chance to visit my family. Anyhow, thanks to this very informative website at theviewpoint.org. So if you want to know more about Hawaii, you might like to visit their website at theviewpoint.org.

Need to get a laptop bags

The last time we travel was last year when my mother in law visit us here. We stay couple days at Steamboat Spring and of course, I bring my laptop with me because I still want to communicate my family in the Philippines and do the task online while I'm on vacation. I remember the time when we stop in the road, there's a dirt devil forming in the road and its coming to us. The back of the truck was open as well as the window. I was changing Dana's diaper that time. The luggage in the back of the truck was open and my laptop was there. I don't have laptop bag that time, I put the laptop in my luggage on the top of my clothes.

Good thing nobody's hurt, the kids me and my mother in law was really scared. Mike is trying to take a video and photos of that dirt devil but he couldn't. It's too late and that wind took the big bag of a diaper and some of my clothes too. Inside the car was full of dirt and sand. That makes the trip very interesting and scary but everything is fine, we still enjoy our few days vacation in Steamboat Spring. Next time, I will make it sure to put my laptop in a laptop messenger bag, that way it won't be scratch and my laptop will be safe if its inside a laptop bag. So if you are looking for a laptop bags, visit rickshawbags.com!

Grand Mesa Photos

These are the photos I took when we went to Grand Mesa last Saturday. We just stop by to the visitors area and let the kids play in the snow for a while. They are having fun especially Dustin. He doesn't mind how cold the snow is. He keep throwing me snow balls and he climb up to the little hill where they file up the snow. They really get a lot of snow up here in the Grand Mesa. It is really pretty and cold too as well! hehehe... :-)

Telluride Downtown

This is Telluride Downtown, we went there when my mother in law was here visiting us. It was a nice downtown but when we get there, they seems having a festival or something. The town was so busy, lot of people and cars. I think Telluride is a nice place to visit. It was a nice ride though and we enjoyed it :-)

While driving back going to Steamboat Spring, we stop by at the visitors area, i forgot the name of the town but anyway, here are some of the photos. The first one taken inside the visitors center, they have a little museum there and the other photo taken outside. That's our white pick up truck in the back hehe :-)
