IM IN UR OCEAN. EATIN UR CARDZ.
Friday was a sad, sad day. Mary and I enjoyed room service one last time. While I was packing, I found a sugar cookie I bought at Disneyland that I was saving for later but completely forgot about. It was probably better when it wasn’t three days old, but it was a sugar cookie, so I couldn’t complain.
Only two photos for you from the last day. Not surprising, they are of food.
Look at that. I actually blogged a last day of vacation. Perhaps I’m turning over a new leaf.
Thursday was awesome because it was our do nothing day. We had some pool time during the day, and for dinner we went to The Boiling Crab. Awesomest. Restaurant. Ever. You tell them what you want, and then they throw it in a bag and, I don’t know, boil it or something. I got snow crab. Maybe I’ll have to start the hunt for the Minnesota equivalent. Or go back to California. It’s worth the trip.
Mary and I went out with a bang that night, ordering banana splits and an international cheese tray and dining in our room. Wow, we ordered room service a lot during this trip. In case you couldn’t tell, we ate a lot, too.
Usually I don’t start slacking on vacation posts until the last day, which typically never gets blogged about. I’ve been really fail with the Disney blogging. On Wednesday we went to Disneyland and California Adventure. And ordered room service. Here are some pictures.
Day two in Anaheim was sun and adventure filled. Mary and I kicked it off with breakfast from room service. Then we checked out because we had to switch rooms and stowed our bags before heading to Disneyland. We rode some rides and ate some food. Lunch reservations were at the Blue Bayou, which shared an indoor space with Pirates of the Caribbean—the best ride ever because it’s long and air conditioned and we got to sit in a boat.
After lunch we waited in some more ride lines. It got pretty toasty outside as well. I purchased a delicious Mickey Mouse pretzel before getting in line for Indiana Jones Adventure. Between eating, seeing the girl reading Fifty Shades* in line, and briefly listening to the Australian in front of us, the hour passed relatively quickly.
After Indiana Jones Adventure (which was also awesome), we were hot and hungry, so we headed back to the hotel to check in to our new room with the intention of going back to the park later in the evening. We ordered late lunch/early dinner from room service, and I internally cried over the giant blister that had formed under my toe. I think at some point we went to the pool, too.
I wasn’t feeling too hot by the end of the night. Mary went back to the park alone. I stayed back in the room and really . . . let go. *shifty eyes* I got a lot of reading done while I was alone, so that was good, and the fireworks were fun to watch from the balcony.
Below are photos of food, Disney, more food, more Disney, more food, evidence of the girl getting her Fifty on, the view from our new hotel room, yet more food, fireworks, and the monster blister on my toe.
*I mean, what the fuck? Really? Leave your poorly written pr0n at home. You’re surrounded by children for Christ’s sake. At the very least take a page from this girl‘s book and use an ereader.
This week I am vacationing in California with Mary! I’m really excited, but I’m not sure she believes me because my excited face is pretty much like my bored face is pretty much like my tired/happy/mad/sad/glad face.
I arrived yesterday at 7:02 p.m. The flight was a little rough, but I was in an aisle seat close to the bathroom and had a cute boy sitting next to me so it made it kind of okay. My head was constantly pressurizing, almost as though the pilot couldn’t keep a steady elevation, and I had a headache for the rest of the evening.
Mary and I ate dinner at McCormick & Schmick’s, one of the restaurants I ate at while in Seattle last year. We started off with a bowl of clam chowder and oysters. I’d never had oysters from the shell before, but I must say I quite enjoyed them. For the main course I had seared sea scallops on a bed of spinach and crab hash, and for dessert we split a lemon soufflé. I also ordered a Bloody Mary, but it was terrible. Terrible. The meal cost a ridiculous amount of money and I’m sure it’s only the beginning.
After dinner we stopped at the hotel gift shop, where I bought water, sunscreen, and a small tube of Advil for a bargain deal of $723.
Once again I’m traveling without a traditional camera and will be relying on my iPhone to capture the memories. I would have brought it a long, but the charger is currently MIA.
