US west coast

In November 2007, I travelled to California for a week of work.
At the end of that week, I flew my wife and son over as well, and we had a two week holiday.
We did a couple days at Disneyland, which was absolutely fantastic. Without doubt, it is the single best theme park I have ever been to in my life. It certainly deserves the repution that it has. There are some theme parks here in Australia that could learn a lot by looking at the way things are done in Disneyland.
From LA, we drove down to San Diego (just so we could say that yes, we had done the ENTIRE west coast!), where we caught a flight up to Seattle .
In Seattle, we stayed with a good mate of mine and had Thanksgiving with him and his family.
Then, on Black Friday, we hit the road for a one week drive back to LA.
Some of the highlights of that trip are included in the attached images.
