SCV and Mike Trout's Angels Debut

(Visited July 7-10, 2011.) I'd almost forgotten about all the fun times on this trip! We gave Andrew a trip to Santa Clarita Valley (SCV) and tickets to an Angels game for his graduation present. I never bother to take pictures of SCV, so this partially explains why I forgot, but Foursquare remembered!

We spent the first day at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, where Chris lost his glasses. We had to go to the mall to get them replaced at LensCrafters. (Awww, remember Valencia Town Center? Well, it's a Westfield mall now.)

Sadly, he couldn't get them repaired in time for the evening's Angels game. We had awesome seats behind the Angels dugout.

More crucially, we watched Mike Trout's Angels debut. At the time, he was baseball's most promising prospect, and now, two and a half years later, it turns out it wasn't just hype!

The next day, we went boogie boarding at Zuma Beach, and later met my parents for delicious Peking duck for dinner at Duck House (after sitting through something like two and a half hours of traffic to drive from the beach to Monterey Park...forgot about that L.A. traffic at dinner time). Yummy duck though! This is one of my dad's favorite restaurants.
