I'm sure her male companion appreciated the limits of your contact with the girl In other news.. I really need to warm up a bit before playing volleyball. Damn work and keeping me 13 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking vacation time is coming due soon. The wife thinks we can't manage to hit Yosemite again this year. We'll see about that...

Members niomosy Posted May 16, 2008 Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 Originally Posted by Zamfir One can actually get into Yosemite, let alone park, these days? Yup. Last year we went with another family and rented a 2-bedroom duplex. Brought up food and just used it the entire time. We hit some things outside Yosemite valley, which made life much easier. No issues parking or dealing with crowds. We did hit Mirror Lake as well and it wasn't too bad. They've trams that take you around the valley so you can park somewhere and just take one of those to where you want to get to. It makes life easier. All in all it was a great time. The kids loved it. Lots of splashing around in rivers, streams, and lakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members niomosy Posted May 19, 2008 Members Share Posted May 19, 2008 So we went to Legoland on Saturday. I'll have to say that their biggest feature is that they make Disneyland look pretty decent. $59 to get in and their hours were 10am-5pm. $66 at Disneyland. We were there until 10pm. I don't know, Nioette made it on a few rides and had more fun with some of the play area stuff than anything else. So we paid discount ticket prices of $42 each (Nioette was free, at least) for Nioette to play at the park, and maybe $15 in carnival rides, and a 3d non-motion movie, basically Oh well, at least she had fun.
