The Happiest Place I Have Been In A While…
March 21st, 2008: Best day ever.
Chris, Celia, Jimmy, Jaime, and I went to the greatest place ever, Disneyland! Took it easy the night before and enjoyed happy hour at Tia Juana’s then migrated to RA Sushi in Tustin. Got in bed around 11pm in preparation for our early departure. We were all up by 6am and were on our way by 8am.
We were all extremely excited to get on our way. Mainly becuase it was a nice get-a-way for all of us. Finals/midterms/workloads were all causes of a much needed vacation. Overall the park was amazing. I won’t talk much but instead I will let the pictures of us 5 tell the story. I will say one thing though, the best part of the night was the fireworks show. It was well worth the 3 hour wait we endured on some extremely comfortable concrete. Even better then the fireworks show was Tinkerbell’s show above the castle during the show.
Onto the pictures!
First fast pass ride of the day: Indiana Jones!
I had to get in on the fun…trip to the park.
Space Mountain! Best. Ride. Ever. Weird, my date didn’t show up in the picture. hmmm…
Gotta love randomly taken pictures…The woman’s face on the left in the red is hilarious. Guess those stairs were treacherous.
We knew this one was taken…well maybe Jimmy didn’t. How could you help but not be happy at Disneyland??
Some crammed action on the Winnie the Pooh ride! You can’t tell, but I was basically standing the whole time. Jimmy’s fat ass wouldn’t move!
In line for the longest ride ever, Peter Pan’s Storybook! Wait in line: 55 minutes, Ride length: 55 seconds. Worth it? If you’re five.
Who says you can’t have fun waiting 3 hours for a fireworks show that almost got canceled?
Jaime knows how to have fun! Jimmy does too, I think he was watching Step Brothers on his Blackberry Storm, that he hates.
This is basically our whole experience! Hazy, Ridiculously fun, Smiley, Rockstar day that could never be ruined.
Thank you for making this day so amazing! I haven’t had such a fun day in a very long time.
Remember, Dreams Can and Will Come True. Good job Walt.
The Road Most Likely Traveled
When you ask mostly anyone if they have ever taken a roadtrip, you will usually get the, “uh yea…” answer. Me? Not so much. Don’t get me wrong, I have traveled and taken short trips. I do not believe that a 6 hour drive to Arizona is a roadtrip in the slightest. When I was younger, my parents would always take the family out camping all over the Western United States and Canada.
Now I am 22 years old and realized I have never done what most have done by the age of 18…road trip across the US! Most do it for the fun of it, others do it to get away. I am going across the US for both of those reasons plus the fact that I am taking delivery of my new car!
What’s Better?
Buying a new car? Or having a friend who would drop his life to enjoy the road with you to create new memories and build an already unbreakable friendship?
I choose friendship, no matter what.
James and I will be flying to Indiana to buy my new car at the Merrillville dealership and taking the scenic route back home.
2,032 Miles
Not too bad huh? That’s the straight shot across. We will be all over, making trouble, creating out of nothing, and having a blast. Follow me on Twitter here to get updates of where we will be through out the days.
