the getty

















When we arrived, we had to take the Getty Train up to the top of the mountain where the Getty was.

The Getty was huge and beautiful—we had a perfect view of Los Angeles. The Getty was built by Paul G. Getty.





The Getty was divided into different parts with different topics. We visited exhibits centered around photography, nature, European Masters, and French Rococo furniture! Everything was really interesting and we had lots of fun!

magic mountain













Everybody was very impressed by the view of Magic
Mountain and a little bit afraid of the big roller coasters. But,
everyone wanted to go on every ride.



There were a lot of different kinds of roller coasters. You could
sit, stand, lie down, go backwards, and even upside-down!



One of the most extreme rides was X2. You had to lie
down on your back and go down a 90˚ drop. While falling, the seats
rotated.




At the end of the day, every one was happy and no one puked.

john mayer concert














On Tuesday, we drove all the way to San Diego (almost
to Mexico!) to see John Mayer perform.  We sat on the grass on
blankets. The concert started with Colbie Caillat. She was great to hear
live!



 
Then after that, John Mayer came on stage. It was fun
to listen to his music. We all liked his songs. He played the guitar
amazingly!  After the concert, we drove back to RSM, satisfied and
tired.

disneyland



















Finally, the trip to Disneyland came.

Disneyland is a place where
you can travel through all the different Disney movies.



It’s an experience for people at every age. You can ride some fun roller coasters or learn to draw your own Disney character.

One of the rides at California Adventure was the “Tower of Terror,” where you ride an elevator up to the top of the tower and then free fall.





Everyday at 9pm, Disneyland does “Remember Dreams Come True Fireworks Spectacular.” It was very impressive and a great finish to our day at Disneyland!

sea world and san diego tour



















On the way to Sea World, everyone talked about the Shamu and Dolphin
shows. After seeing the shows, no one was disappointed!


Most people went on the water rides before we left to
go to downtown San Diego.





First, we stopped at Old Town San Diego. We were able to buy
souvenirs and look at the historic town!


Our last stop was the Hard Rock Cafe. Everyone ran into
the store to get a t-shirt or Hard Rock trinket!

angels baseball game















To learn something about Americas favorite sport, we went to a
Baseball Game in Anaheim, the home of the L.A. Angels.




The Angels lost, but it was interesting to witness a great American
sport.



After this amazing game, we knew the basics of baseball.

beach day

On Thursday afternoon, we went to a beach in San Clemente called T-Street and had a fun day.


















The beach was very nice. We relaxed and tried to get tan, but it was too overcast.



The water was very cold so only some of us tried to ride the boogie boards. The ones who did had a lot of fun!





After swimming, we were hungry. We bought something to eat at the little snack shack.
