Well we finally got our butt in the car and drove up the coast to LA. Didn`t see much of the town tho, BUT I`ve seen the Hollywood sign up in the hill :D (and we are going back to LA so actually see the town and do some shopping another weekend).. cos we decided to only have 1 night there and we had tickets for both Universal Studios and Six flag magic moutain.
We left early friday morning and spent all day at Universal. Was okey, a family theme park really, but we had good fun. When we arrived it was a show at Waterworld (they did a scene from the film Waterworld with Kevin Costner) and OMG, they were good. Must have been alot of stunt men acting there, specially the guy playing Mariner had some big skills on the waterjet! Afterward we took the most things we could.. And I dragged the others with me to the Studio tour as I thought it would be great.. but wasn`t what I thought it was.. and I pretty much fell asleep after 30 min driving around, til I heard the guide say "Wisteria Lane" - I promise you I was awake before he could say anything more, but then I understood that all we got to see was the beginning of the street where they do the outdoors scenes :(... And haha, in the house of horror, first Jonas and Casper screamed at the first live person, trying to spook him - cos they thought he like everyone earlier was a doll, made the guy pretty pissed. And I managed to frighten Casper one time I got stunned, cos I screamed. LOL. Was really the worse horror house I`ve ever been in, and I screamed - dang I guess. hehe
Then we went to a nice motel, where they actually had a spa pool where we all jumped in to relax - so me and Cathrine got to wear our bikinis (the boys had been teasing us alot cos we packed soo much for only 1 night away, BUT we didn`t know what we was supposed to do, so we had brought clothes for every possible situations) - and HAHA, we had bikinis while they had to take a bath in their boxers :D
Saturday we got up early, some of us with more sleep then others since I had been snoring and Cathrine been speaking in her sleep. LOL. the boys were pretty tired, but they woke up really fast when they saw all the rollercoasters. Goliath was the first rollercoaster we saw from the freeway, and I swore I wouldn`t do that one as it looked so bad.. It took me about 4 hours (included 1hour++ wait before I had done it) And OMG, it was scary! 2 of the rides we wanted to take (Deja Vu and Xtreme) was closed, but else we took all the others that was open. Superman was really fun. 6.5 secounds of weightlessness - that one was straight up, and it went FAST! 100 mph in only 7 seconds :S But the craziest was Tatsu was the last ride we took, cos it had the craziest line to get in.. Think we waited more then 90mins (I`m so happy we went there off season, or we would probably only had time to take like 3 or 4 rides in 10hours) - it was a rollercoaster where you kinda lied on your stomach - like you were flying. It was face down, or face up, not face forward like it usual is.. so you saw everything.. And it was so scary, but also so great. I think I said alot of bad words on the way to the top cos I was scared that I would fall down and I just remembered that I`m a bit afraid of heights... BUT what a rush!! Best ride there is in Six flag in LA!! I also tried my first ride today where you were standing.. felt kinda weird, but wasn`t that big of a deal.. :/
After 10(!!) hours in six flag we decided to go home (the time went SOOOOOOO fast), Becca and co were having a party tonight and Jonas & Casper wanted to go there. Me and Cathrine gonna have a sober weekend so we went home. On monday there is a holiday tho, so we never know whats gonna happend tomorrow. If it is a nice weather I`ll go to the beach with the girls somewhere fancy near Downtown (and the place is actually called Downtown, not a nickname as we have back home in Norway) tomorrow, gonna be fun. Now I think I need some sleep.. cos it hasn`t been too much of that the last 3 days.. so feeling a bit tired..
Will post some pictures tomorrow when I get around to import them to my laptop :) Nitenite all.
