For all of you that have been to Disneyland and have NOT been Disney World. What is your take on Disney world?

I am going to have a multi part blog on Disney.

(Now if you have been to Disney World don't answer or think about your perception of Disney World before your first trip)

Being a Cali Kid and growing up going to Disneyland, my take had always been that Disney World was a little bigger and what I always heard was that
"you have to go check out the Matterhorn, its supper cool"

Other then that I always had a perception that they were more or less the same.

I look forward to hearing your answers!

I can't believe the end of the year is upon us already!
Which also means it is time for all the end of the year stuff too!

First on the list is Halloween.
If you have little ones... there is nothing funner (is that a word) for them then a trip to Legoland California to the Brick or Treat trail.

it is running from October 3-4, 10-11, 17-18, 24-25 and of course the 31.
The kids have to be 12 or under and after a day at the park they can do a run through the trick or treat trail and get a bag of goodies to take home.
(I would recommend getting in line early cause it gets long REALLY FAST!)

I would then tell you to plan on dinner at the Upper Deck Sports Cafe. Mom & Dad can sit down to a nice dinner we'll the kids get to head over to the lego room to play with Lego's. They have a nice selection of grown up food and a great buffet for the kids!

Then Legoland is also hosting their Party Nights as well for more info goto:

It is that time of year again for the Miramar Air Show 2009.
it is on October 2, 3, 4
Gates open at 8am
shows from 9-4

On Saturday the 3 rd they have a twilight air show from 5:30-9

It is free admission, free parking, free blanket seating.

If you would like preferred seating and more info goto:

As a kid I remember going to the air show and my first time seeing the F117-A bomber talk about an awesome plane.
They have planes the kids (big kids too) and get in and play around.
and demonstration throughout the day.

It is a great event to go to and see what the Men and Women of our military do for us on a daily basis!
God Bless America!

There are no shortage of corner pumpkin patches that start popping up this time of year... and for most city slickers, we don't really know any better.

Let me tell you between Encinitas and Del Mar we have some killer pumpkin patches that come to town about and they are about as grand as the Del Mar Fair.

However if you want to take you kids some where, where they can really see what farm life is like, I highly recommend Bates Nut Farm (insert joke here) Bates Nut farm is a family run farm since 1921 and every year it just keeps getting bigger and better!

They have tractor rides, vendors selling their wears, a general store with all kinds of fund stuff, horse rides, petting zoo and not to mention pumpkins... and plenty of them!

Be sure to check out Bates web site for other fun things they do through out the year like Cars Shows, Arts and Crafts Fair, Scout Day, Farm Education Day, Scarecrow Contests and Christmas Fair.

Then of Course for all you people in the know, on your way out of Bates Nut Farm...

keep your eyes open for the guy with too much time on his hands..

He has built a replica of the US Capital entirely out of match sticks.

Cheers,

James Baxter
