California and Las Vegas Trip (March 2010)

We were in San Francisco from March 12-20. Thanks to daddy's course, we stayed at a really nice hotel (Westin St. Francis) right in front of union square. San Francisco is a beautiful city. Took the cable cars and buses everywhere since we bought the city pass for a week. Went to chinatown everyday to have chinese food! The last time i was there was about 15 years ago and this time i can really appreciate the beauty of the city.

Cruise around the Golden Gate Bridge and at Pier 39:

We flew to Las Vegas on March 20 and drove to Williams at Arizona to stay for a night, before we proceed to Grand Canyon the next day.

We drove back to Las Vegas and stayed at Excalibur hotel (the 'castle' hotel) for 3 nights.

Made a trip to the premium outlet where the kids took the kiddy rides while i shopped. Look how happy Amber was....

We then flew from Las Vegas to Long Beach and drove down south to San Diego where we visited the seaworld. Think the kids enjoyed seaworld the most for the entire trip. Till now they keep telling us about shamu (the killer whale). We didn't take a lot of pictures at seaworld (mostly the sea creatures), so here's 2 that we took.

Visited some relatives at Long Beach before we took a trip to Hollywood at Los Angeles. Here's a picture with Wolverine and the teeny-weeny "Hollywood" word in the background!

Video below is the Fremont Street Experience that we took in Las Vegas. Quite interesting with hundreds (or thousands) of TV screens above you. Amber was frightened by the bright lights and loud music while Aedan enjoyed watching the "TV" (as usual)....
