Cable Airport - Upland CA

Desiring something new, I went to eat breakfast at Manic Mike's Cafe at Cable Airport in Upland, California. I heard that the food is very good and one has a view of planes landing and taking off. The cafe lived up to the good reports I had heard of it.

This is the train that kids of all ages can ride at Travel Town in Griffin Park which is located in Los Angeles, California. The trains next door at Los Angeles Live Steamers are more fun to ride.

LA Live Steamers - Union Pacific

Los Angeles Live Steamers are located in Griffin Park in Los Angeles California next to Travel Town. Riding on their trains is a lot of fun and highly recommended by me.

17601 Fitch Avenue Irvine California Today

I am spending a night in the three month old Marriott SpringHill Suites in Irvine California. This new hotel is sitting on the ground where the old Faith Defenders building of Faith Defenders Church, Inc. use to stand. The Faith Defenders building was leveled and hauled to a California landfill to make room for this new hotel.

A very nice hotel near the John Wayne Airport.
