We made our way right to the Simpsons ride. After that we went down to the train and went on the tour. We were thinking about doing the VIP tour that lets you walk around on the sets but since they were taping Desperate Housewives that day we wouldn't be able to walk down Wisteria Lane which was one of the main things I would have wanted to see. The tour was good but once you have seen it its pretty much the same ol stuff! The only cool part about the tour was that we saw Teri Hatcher driving off in a car.
This is a set that they are currently building. Very big and cool!
Airplane crash from 007...this part of the tour always takes my breath away. So real looking...its creepy.
Cirdan then convinced me to go on The Mummy ride. It reminded me why I don't trust Cirdan when it comes to amusement parks. When he says..."the ride isn't scary at all!" He is probably just saying that to get me to go. Then while on the ride he is saying (while I am closing my eyes ready to cry)..."I don't remember that part!!" I am glad that I did go.
We ate and went to the Terminator 2:3D show. We were not impressed. It was pretty lame. Then we headed over to the Shrek 4d show which was great!! I didn't get to see it last January but Cirdan and Kaiya had really liked it. We stayed there until 5 when the park closed and headed over to Universal City Walk. For some reason we never went over there in January so I had no clue they had a ton of stores and places to eat. We looked around, took some pictures and headed back to the car.
We thought about heading back to our hotel until we realized the freeway was jammed packed and we would sit in traffic forever. Cirdan had wanted to look around for some new shoes so we decided to go shopping. We first stopped at a Ross...which was kind of scary...not the best part of town. Then Cirdan wanted to try Nordstrom Rack. He had heard that the California Nordstrom Racks are picked over but the 1st one that we went to had so much more stuff than Seattle. It usually takes him 6 months at least to find the jeans he loves in his size. The Rack here had a stack of jeans! Cirdan found some jeans and some shoes but still wanted to try another Rack. The last one we went to had a good selection also! Cirdan was in heaven. We then went back to Redondo...tomorrow we were going back to Universal!
On a side note...I tried to take a pictures of the escalators at Universal. The pictures don't do justice. There were about 4 flights of these stairs that take you down to the lower Universal level. They feel like they are straight up and down. When you are almost to the top and look back down its pretty creepy.
