Days 2 and 3
Day 2
Alright, Monday! Monday we wake up at around 8:30 and take our showers and whatnot, then we go, "So what do we wanna do? We end up deciding to go to the mall and eat breakfast there. I ended up eating Hoevos Con Chroezo (Spelling could be wrong) at La Salsa. It was ok, I've had much much better at the smaller, family-run Mexican places.
So we do that, walk around the mall a bit and end up coming back to the hotel. We go back to the hotel, talk about where we wanna go to dinner, then decide on going to the Rainforest Cafe for dinner. If you haven't been there, and there is one by you/somewhere your going, go. The food is good, but what's really interesting about it is the atmosphere of the place. Every 15 minutes or so there's a "storm". Where all the animals and stuff go crazy and it plays thunder music and the lights go up for the lighting. The food is a bit expensive, but you gotta go at least once.
After that, we came home, and didn't do a whole lot and went to bed.
Day 3
We get up at 6:30 to get to Universal Studios and end up eating at some place called "Ma's Market", at mom's request. My mom came into the store and went, "ohhh, this place is cool." I went ,"oh boy, not another health store." Well, this wasn't your ordinary health store. Looking at the breakfast menu I noticed one thing. No meat. Nothing. That was the first thing that told me this place was evil. Then, a not-so-straight guy comes in. And he's talking to this other guy, which sounds like he's a regular at this place. Then an elderly lady walk in and sits down with the gay guy. Now, this elderly lady, who looks as if she's 70 or more, is dressed as if she's 20. She has all pink on. a pink mini-skirt, a pink blouse, a matching pink purse. Pink pink pink pink pink. I order my food and stuff, I ended up getting pancakes, which I think was made with soy milk. Ugh, it was disgusting. Worst pancakes I've eaten, and my mom used to make the real healthy kind too.
After leaving that store I've never felt feminism attacking me so fiercely. When I walked out of that store/restaurant I told myself that when I got home I was going to finish my James Bond book and watching the Bourne Identity. But more on that later.
So we're on the road to Universal Studios... Gosh I feel as if I should have some kinda partner who sings stuff with me. (for those who didn't get that it was a reference to Bob Hope and Bing Crosby and all there Road to *Country* movies) When we get there we present our tickets and start having fun!
I'm not gunna go into much detail about it, because I'm guessing a lot of you are gunna want to go eventually. It's AWESOME! the Rides aren't the greatest, nothing too fast or any upside down stuff, but what's really cool about it is the movie stuff. They have a tour where they take you though the studios and you get to see a bunch of cool stuff, like some sets from Jaws, the airplane crash set from War of the Worlds, Skull Island, to name just a few. They also have other attractions that show you how they do movies. and stuff, it was awesome.
Anyway, after Universal we came home, I think we went to the Cheesecake factory for dinner, I had a philly Cheesesteak. We were so full we didn't get any cheese cake though.
After that we went back to the Hotel and I did what I said I was gunna do, I finished my James Bond book (which was awesome by the way) and watched Bourne.

Ignorant fool am I
:P
So yeah, I forgot about my blog'n stuff. Well, not forgot, more like discouraged. I went, "meh, nobody reads my blog." Buuut, no, that's not the case. So yeah, *posts*
So, I'll start off with an account of my 4th of July week down in Southern Ca.
Day 1
Got to wake up at 4:30 today! yay! Lots and Lots of driving, as you can guess, about eight hours approximately. Anyway, so we're driving, I do many things while driving, listen to my MP3 player, (pretty much Extreme Ways, Battlestar Galactica, Nightwish, and Within Temptation)played a game of Age of Empires: Age of Kings DS with my brother. (for a cheap knockoff of an awesome game, it wasn't that bad.) And... uh... sat? Yeah, that's pretty much it.
At around eight o'clock we stopped at Harris Ranch for breakfast, and yum! I had a sausage, cheese and ham omelet with country potatoes. Very good, Harris Ranch has always been awesome.
So, on the road again, kinda like the song, accept for the, "so glad" part. Anyway, we drive for a good while, then we get into a traffic jam. Well, turns out that on Highway 5, there was some kinda fire that was started and we had to go an alternate rout. We stopped at a gas station, and decided not to go the alternate rout. Then we decided we did, but we had to get back on 5. So, we did. Fire thing was over when we got back on so it was smooth sailing till we got to the hotel.
I have to say something. I don't know if it was just this Marriott or what, but the Marriott sucks. The first room we got the bathroom door wouldn't close properly, I mean literally it wouldn't close. When you did finally get it closed, it was stuck. We ended up complaining and we got another room. Same type, but at least the door closed properly. So after that we go down by the beach to get something to eat.
The beach is an awesome place to go, but not when it's over-crowded. I'm not kidding, this beach was crowded. It took about a half hour to find a parking spot, we ended up getting one in front of a pool-bar. They didn't actually sell beer, but the bouncer up front said that people usually buy something from the liqueur store then hang out at this place. Also in front of the place were two girls "looking for work", if you get my drift. At first I couldn't tell that's what they were doing, cause everybody was really nice over there, but later I went, "ohhh, THAT'S why they were standing outside that place."
So, what do we get for spending a half hour trying to find a parking spot? This little hole in the wall called the Crab Bucket. Now granted, the food WAS good, but it was really really crowded. I was expecting somewhere a little nicer to sit down at , instead of feeling like I needed to eat my food ASAP so the people standing next to me could sit down. (there wasn't really anybody standing next to me, but that was the atmosphere of it.)
After that, we went back to the hotel and swam. Then after that, bed.
