Anyway....let me put up some photos for the trip. I didn't get to sleep the night before cuz for some reason Hades kinda knew we were gonna put him home alone for the whole day so he was upset for the whole night. He probably dreamed about throwing up too cuz he woke up to throw up but nothing came out....Ok...I got sidetracked again...here are the photos....
We took Catalina express from Long beach which left around 10 AM. We got there before 9, and the coffee there was horrible...:p The ride was about 1 hour going to the island. Weather was nice, and the island was not too crowded.
I really liked how the island was full of colorful sail boats and houses. It felt like Greece in a smaller scale (with less blue buildings) if you just look at the small village itself.
We had lunch at Armstrong's seafood, which was right next to the beach. The food was alright but portion was kinda small. (I think Hui-Ling jie probably thought it was over-priced :p)
The town Avalon was really cute cuz everything was small. We rented a golf car to drive around and finished checking out the island within three hours after lunch. :)
We went to check out Wrigley's memorial garden too....not too much to see other than cactus, but then it's kinda cool to know the gum guy probably bought the island. The view from the memorial tower was kinda cool too.
Looking at the town Avalon from the hill top was kinda nice. I think they need to build a lot more houses to make it look more like Europe though....then for some people who cannot go to Europe they can fake it with photos. :p
Small shops at Avalon were all very cute....but the only thing we bought there was ice cream. Ice cream with two scoops and waffle cone was around 5 dollars. :)
We were lucky enough to get a earlier ride back to LA after we checked out the whole island. We also had big dinner with ribs when we arrived Alhambra. What was the result of a fun day trip? Well....lots of photos....and a many more lbs on me and Billy. :p
