For just two people the Metrolink is far more convienant than driving. It only costs $10 and includes all transfers for the day. I figure for $20 I couldn&#8217;t beat the gas, plus parking, plus wear on the car, and most important frustration with LA traffic.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11330\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/ushajanimalactors.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11330\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11330\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11330\" src=\"http:\/\/www.johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/ushajanimalactors-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"AJ enjoyed seeing all the animals.\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11330\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">AJ enjoyed seeing all the animals.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We really didn&#8217;t have an agenda when we got there. The weather was a bit cold and overcast, but that was good because there wasn&#8217;t hardly any crowds. Not only did we see all the shows and attractions (except for Crusty Fun Land because we don&#8217;t really like the Simpsons that much), but we went on several of the attractions twice. AJ decided that his favorite show was the animal actor show.<\/p>\n<p>Since there wasn&#8217;t a lot of lines and we were just wandering the park, we got to see a lot of the actors roaming the park as well. We didn&#8217;t ask for any autographs, but we enjoyed taking pictures.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11332\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/ushnest.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11332\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11332\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11332\" src=\"http:\/\/www.johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/ushnest-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"AJ with a NEST (Transformers) operative.\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11332\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">AJ with a NEST (Transformers) operative.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_11331\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/ushgru.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11331\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11331\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11331\" src=\"http:\/\/www.johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/ushgru-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"AJ and I with Gru and a minion.
