My faithful readers will have noticed that I missed blogging all last week. This is because I was on vacation. In California. Let’s go through the highlights of the trip.
- Flat tire. We were an hour into the trip when suddenly: POT HOLE. So two hours later, I’m a day park-hopping at Disneyland poorer and we are back on the road with 3 trusty tires and 1 new tire.
- 6 to 7 hours of bumper to bumper traffic.
- The island we were on flooded.
- The power got knocked out.
- It rained nearly the whole time.
- 11 boys, 5 girls, one bathroom.
- The creepy old black and white photo of a little girl outside of my room.
- I forgot my towel.
- Sunburned forehead which led to a leprous forehead.
- There was sand everywhere in the house.
- I paid to NOT eat crab cakes.
- Failing massively at boogey boarding.
- Tar on the beach.
- My car was kidnapped for several hours.
- Then I was kidnapped in my car for half an hour.
- The boy I have a little crushlette on called me “buddy” which is the worst!
- The whale we paid to see fell asleep.
- My bangs were driving me INSANE!
- When I went for my mani-pedi the little mani-pedi ladies kept tricking me into getting more and more expensive upgrades.
- My team lost in the NCAA tournament.
- Bottom bunk in California where an earthquake is imminent, which could lead to being smooshed.
- Pooped on by a bird. (To be fair “Lindsey” got most of the poop…but I still got a little on me too.)
- Parking ticket.
- Speeding ticket…an hour away from home.
That’s not to say the trip was all bad. Mostly it was fun. A lot of fun. And I made a bundle of new "buddies." But due to the unexpected expense of the tire and tickets the trip ended up costing me about 3 times more than I thought it would.
However, I did get some shampoo and conditioner that made your head feel minty fresh AND I was introduced to the fun-time that is playing Set. Also there was an olde-timey candy store that supplied me with enough Giant Pixie Stix to keep me happy for a long while yet.
