Disney Land - California


For those who have not read the previous blog, this is day 1 of our west coast journey trying to cover Atleast 5 National parks in 15 days. 


Day 1: in our last blog, I had mentioned about the innocent mistake we committed of not buying Disney Land and Disney Adventure tickets online. And it happens to be that they do not allow anyone to purchase tickets over the counter. 
We woke up with heavy heart, thinking about how to break the news to the girls, if we were not allowed to visit Disney Land. Sashi luckily got tickets to Adventure Land around 5 in the morning. He said, he randomly checked for the availability and instantly bought it. But that’s for next day.. not today.. so what are we doing today for them. 
Our hotel was just a mile away from the Disney land. We had a pretty good walk and we reached there by 8:20 A.M (Park opens at 8).. Yeah early.. by the time we reached ticket counter it was already 8:40.. my mind was racing in every direction.. 
what happens if there are no tickets.. how should I tell them.. I had planned meticulously for this day, that I even made Disney Tshirts for the family.. To my dismay the lady at the counter informed us that there are no more tickets for today at the counter.  I was taken back.. but she instantly asked me, where I was from. Once I informed her about flying out from Atlanta. She said. Hold on.. I might get few for you.  

Am I lucky ???? Are we that lucky ?? Looks like my stars have lined up.. and we got our Disney land tickets over the counter. We quickly changed into our Disney wear and had a pretty good time at Disney. 

   







The one thing which I felt is Disney Land is much smaller than Disney World (Florida). Whatever it is, as long as girls are happy we are happy. 

Around 3:30 the girls rushed to the Main street to watch the parade. Little Insia was excited to meet Daisy, (Daisy Duck is her favorite and not Mickey or Minnie Mouse). She waited all along but Daisy never turned up for the Parade. I was disappointed too that Daisy wasn’t included. There was everyone from Mouskatoon.. Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Pete, Chip and Dale too.. but not Daisy..  

  

  

  

  

   

  

    








   


Sheza and Insia got to meet and greet most of their friends and they had a gala time there.. at the end of the day, after walking the entire park, we knew, they cannot walk back to hotel. We took a Uber home and crashed on bed. 
Another day, another story continues.. for now good night after a wonderful day at Disney Land..!

Glacier National Park - Day 1

Image
It took me lot of time and resources to gather the amount of pics and videos we had taken during our trip to Glacier and Yellowstone. Mind that we had our Cell phones as well as a DSLR Camera to cover our memories.  Travelling to National Parks with Kids isn't easy. It comes with its own challenges. Do they have Restaurants ? Will there be Restrooms ?? Do we have to take GPS devices ? Will our Mobiles have Network Coverage ?? First Things first, We haven't comes across any restaurants inside the national park. There might have been some, but may be due to Covid or some other gracious reasons, we haven't seen any open. Coming to restrooms, there were few, but we never dared to get inside it. So iam clueless how well they were maintained (Iam sure the services would have been good) There shall be no network coverage, so i either suggest to carry your own GPS device or purchase a mobile app called "The Gypsy Guide". I seriously fell in love with that app. That's ...

Rekha's baby shower

Image
one fine evening received a call from charan inquiring about event photography. Upon discussion i understood that they are looking for a photographer for his wife's baby shower event along with couple of maternity pics. On 22 Oct at 10 AM i arrived at Taste of India to cover Rekha's babyshower. I was surprised to see only Charan at the hall, only to realize later that rekha is yet to arrive. I was there for the next 3 hours and left around 1 PM. Here's sneak peek from Rekha's Babyshower Party.

5 National Parks with two kids

Image
Here we are again, planning and prepping for road trip with my two girls who are 9 and 4 now. My eldest Sheza is an National Park enthusiast. So we also try to encourage her, (ofcourse that’s what every parent does these days). This time we are trying to cover Atleast 5 national parks towards west coast (hopefully).  The ones included are Joshua Tree, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Yosemite, Pinnacles & Redwood National Park.. I know, I know there are 6 names instead of 5, Iam trying to get to Atleast 5 (if the girls cooperate).  The best thing which I discovered recently is that blogger is available as an app for iPhone users. Here Iam Blogging and road tripping.  It is always said that, you need good sleep to have a good day.. I did the inevitable mistake of not sleeping the previous night of travel. I was packing, rushing to finish a gallery and then when the time finally came up to my sleep, it was already 4 A.M and we had to leave the house by 5:30.  Here I was Zomb...
