ANS Trip 2016: Jen Goes to California

Early in 2016, it was announced that American Name Services would be giving a “bonus” to each member of the ANS team for meeting our 2015 sales goal. The bonus was to be used to fund an ANS trip for each employee and a guest.  Over the next several months, we will give a brief summary of where our employees have ventured.


Jen is the VP of Production here at American Name Services. For her ANS trip, she took her three boys to California for one last trip altogether before her twins graduated from high school and left home.  She summarizes her ANS trip below.

We spent the first three days jumping from one amusement park to another.  We started with Six Flags over Magic Mountain and decided we were only going to ride all the big roller coasters.  There were so many that we didn’t make it through all of them.

The next day, we went to Knott’s Berry Farm where we rode more big roller coasters.  On the third day, we went to Universal Studios where we enjoyed a low key day and fewer roller coasters.  I think our head was spinning after the first two days.  It was fun to see Harry Potter World and ride the Jurassic Park and Mummy rides.

On the last day, we went to both the Warner Brothers Studio and Sony Pictures Studio and had tours.  The Warner Brother Studio Tour was the best.  They drove us around showing us a lot of different movie and TV sets, including the Batman costumes and many of the Batmobile vehicles, which my boys are obsessed with.  We finished the trip off with an LA Dodgers game.

It was great to visit all these parks and spend time with my boys. Thank you for the fun trip, ANS!
