ADVENTURES IN ORANGE COUNTY

Anaheim Garden Walk is located at the heart of Orange County with outdoor retail stores, bowling lounge, fine dining and movie theaters.

The place officially opened June of last year and more shops and stores are currently being added … but you can still enjoy whats there now.  I have shopped and dined there on many occasions.

Personally I love going to their movie house - CINEMA FUSION THEATER.  Its not crowded on weekends and the place looks awesome. They have, what they call, SKY LOBBY SCREENING ROOMS where you can have beer and wine inside the movie theater ( for 21 and over), they have IMAX Experience, Screening Rooms CLASSICS where they show classic films and regular screening.

For Valentine’s Day, I may bring my friends there for some cool movie experience. See you guys there!

Despite gas prices going down, business is still slow. I have been contemplating on selling my car, in exchange of Vespa. I’ve always wanted a Vespa ever since I was a kid and I think its about time I get one. I believe I am in the right place for a scooter and at the right moment. Its cheaper on gas, better for environment and its way cool haha! I think I am few years early for mid life crisis. Lol!

  Look how pretty that is!

Before I jump into that, I need to know if I need motorcycle rider training course certification. And if I need a different kind of license, like Class M?  Would anyone know?

I always pass by Knott’s Berry Farm theme park and thought I’d check out their event for Halloween. Knott’s Berry Farm Haunt has 13 chilling mazes, 3 horror scare zones, 7 hair- raising shows, and 1000 “monsters” roaming around the park. This event may not be suitable for children under 13 though but i bet this could be fun for older kids. I checked out their gallery, and this should be quite a scare!

Halloween Haunt at Knott’s Scary Farm is a special ticket event. You may check out their website or call (714) 220 5000.

 I also noticed that 5 freeway is under construction but there are a lot of alternate routes to take.  This was taken from their website:
