Universal Studios
Yesterday we spent the day at Universal Studios. It was really a great day. My leg was not so good again, so I was on the cane. Recommendation: Want to the front of the line? Take a cane!
They gave me a pass, so we were able to get into everything like VIPs! So when we got our tickets, the person there said to Dana, "take her over there and get a guest assistance pass", like I could not hear or something. It was the same when Jenny went in there on the cane. They spoke to me and said exactly the same thing! Being on a cane means you are deaf!
Anyway, we went on the tram which is about a one hour ride through the lot and there are lots of special effects as you go through, and the set from Fast and Fast and Furious (one of the car scenes) and King Kong, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future and lots more . We also saw the animal actors show and one of them was the yellow lab from Marlee and Me. Also, the Shrek 3D, and special effects show. Unfortunately we could not go down Wisteria Lane, but passed by the entrance and exit (Desperate Housewives).
So today we are in Santa Barbara. We will head out to Montecito soon to the retreat centre where the Simonton program is going on. It is a beautiful day here, and we are out of the insanity of the LA traffic.
There are a few photos posted below.
They call 'Jaws' Bruce. That was the name

Norman Bates came out to greet us
Plane crash from War of the Worlds. This was a
real de-commissioned 747 airplane. They paid only
$60,000 for it, but it cost about $200,000
to move it to Universal.

With Shrek. We went into the 3D movie.
It was so much fun. The seats moves, water sprayed
on us, and it seemed like things were right in front of you
