Death Valley, Legoland California 1999

Posted on June 26, 1999 by steve
Danielle and I traveled to California in June, 1999 for a two week vacation. Linda, unfortunately, was too busy on projects at Epcot to accompany us. We began our trip with a visit to Linda’s parents in Los Angeles, and saw Knott’s Berry Farm and the Getty Museum. Then it was on to Death Valley for a really interesting few days of 114 degree weather (honest, it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity!) Next we spent a night in Las Vegas and caught the Star Trek Experience, where we have equipment installed (Danielle hated it, but it was really cool). Finally, we drove to Carlsbad (Danielle was a great traveler for the whole 7 hours across the Mojave Desert) and visited the San Diego Wild Animal Park, San Diego Zoo, and Legoland. It was a great trip.

Since Linda didn’t get to go on
our summer vacation, when I returned to Legoland in October for meetings,
I arranged to take her with me for a backstage tour (on her birthday). We
stayed at the same place that Danielle and I did, the beautiful Four
Seasons Aviara.
