ADVENTURES IN ORANGE COUNTY

This blog - http://ocadventure.today.com will no longer be active. I have just recently  moved to San Francisco. For my [mis] adventures in San Francisco,  will be posted on -http://blognuts.today.com

A funny thing happened yesterday. My friend’s car stalled and we had to call a towing company. Good thing we were still at the grocery and did not stall in the middle of nowhere.

After waiting for a good 2 hours, they finally came. We “almost” got the car towed because …  as soon as Henry, that’s the driver,  was about to position the truck to tow the car, the tow truck stalled! Lol!

So imagine seeing a TOW TRUCK TOWING A TOWING TRUCK! lol! It was funny! We couldn’t help but laugh at the situation we were in.

So anyway, we called another towing company and they came within 30 minutes and finally got ourselves home.

My friend’s car sad to say, wont be moving out of the garage anytime soon. But it sure was a fun experience for the both us!

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:
