Universal Studio's - Movie Capitol of LA - Day 3

After making 2 waffles and stuffing bread and jam into our bag, we headed out for what was going to be a long and fun day.

I was excited to show my Mom and Ton the place where I have worked. Finally someone to share this with. The theme park was fun as ever. I had done the studio tour a million of times before, so I knew exactly what to expect. They loved it.

The Mummy roller coaster ride and the Jurassic Park ride was my favorite part of the day. They take you at thrilling speeds through magical places like mummy caves and dinosaur jungles.. I'm not telling more about the park itself 'cause I wrote a blog about it long ago.

At night, we walked up and down the city walk and went to iFly Hollywood ! Ton immediately wanted to fly, but Mom seemed to have a headache. But, after she saw the instruction video she wanted to fly too. I was lucky to get both of them to fly them twice for free. What a great gift !

And they were amazing. I'm telling you, I sorta know now how it feels to see your kids flying while you're out there taking pictures. Seeing your Mom fly is kinda special. She was the first to go in and after she got her bearings a bit she did excellent. She was stable, held her hands right, her chin up and there she was, flying in front of me, smiling but with an expression in her eyes that said, wauw, this is amazing. And the instructor gave kissing signals with his hands, telling her that she's doing a great job.

Then it was Ton's turn. Of course, he's a bigger person, so they had to jack the wind up a little. His first flight was kinda rocky, even though he held his legs straight and seemed to hold his body still. The instructor had to hold on to him a few times and when he pushed Ton sideways toward me to take a picture of him, I saw in his eyes that he too was having the time of his live.

The second time they went in, the instructor took them high up the tube. I love it when they do this. They fly like superman and take them all the way up and down again, so it feels even more like you're falling in the wind. Mom's eyes went from 'hey, I can do this', to 'OH MY GOOOD !"

Of course, Ton already knew what to expect his second time around. He had jumped in like it was a pool and he was on fire. The instructor took him way up and Ton practically had a skydiving orgasm.

After their flight, both of them looked frazzled but kinda stoned too. Mom's headache was gone. When we went for dinner at Bubba Gump, they still were high on adrenaline. No need to tell you that we had a great night. The waitress loved us so much that she stopped waiting for a few minutes and came to sit next to me for a chat. I love this country. :-)

We got back home around 9:30 PM and went straight to bed. We were pooped.

Tomorrow, the big LA day : Traveling from East to West and seeing all of the famous LA highlights !
