The purpose of the trip was to meet with my niece and her son, who had flown in from New Zealand. Then we'd go to all the tourist traps in Southern California. First port of call was Anaheim to visitLes mer

I have never in my life wanted to go to Disneyland, but once I got there, I had a lot of fun.
First day was pretty low-key, but the Young Master got to build a radio-controlled car in the Ride MakerLes mer

We spent five days in Anaheim, visiting Disneyland and the Disney California Adventure Park several times. But the real highlight was the jousting tournament we went to elsewhere in Anaheim.

We didn't do much of anything on the last day at the apartment, just went out for a stroll and some lunch.
