Instead of heading to the Disney theme parks today, we did some Socal shopping. Went to Trader Joes and bought some goodies (but no canned ice coffee).

Got a pick me up from Starbucks and lunch from In n Out Burgers (again).

Then went to the Block at Orange which is really close by. After years in the Irvine area, this was my first visit. Big place with a Nike Factory Outlet and Hawaii’s own, Hilo Hatties.

Finished up shopping at the Glendale Galleria and the neighboring Americana. The Galleria reminds me of an indoor Ala Moana Center.

Across the street is the new addition of the Americana. It has its own water fountain show like the Bellaggio in Vegas.

The daily 9:25 fireworks show at Disneyland viewed from the tram pickup spot. Wanted to beat the crowds out of the park.

Disneyland’s Smallworld at sunset.

In stark contrast to our cold and rainy visit to Seaworld, Disneyland (and Anaheim) is scorching hot, even in the 70’s
