Spring Break is over :(
Highlights from Memphis!
+Saw Jesse Jackson! We watched him film part of a documentary (I think) at the Civil Rights Museum! I'm keeping a look out for it, we only found out that it was being done by the Associated Press, nothing else.
+Two guys sat next to me in the Memphis airport. One of them happened to be the guy who won an Oscar for the screenplay Rainman in 1988. Didn't talk to him, was too shy, and by that point a whole bunch of people had crowded around to see the Oscar. (Pondering whether I should watch the movie sometime)
+Graceland is SO SHINY. Sadly, my battery died before I could get pics of the costumes (which are my fave!) Pictures on Facebook. Also, I want Elvis' basement bar, for the record.
+THE RIBS OMG. I am now addicted to ribs! Had them three night in a row.
+BEALE ST. IS SIMPLY AMAZING. I want to go back. We all went to Silky's, and Irish pub and piano lounge. Piano guy played Great Balls of Fire AND STOOD ON THE BENCH AND PLAYED WITH HIS FOOT. We chatted with him afterward, he's a fun guy :D
+Found out that the more drunk I am, the more I start to talk with a southern accent.
-If I had flown back to LAX during the day, we would have had an AMAZING view of the Grand Canyon, considering we flew right over it. *sigh* One of these days I'll get to see it.
+Presentation was easy-peasy and now I have something else to add to my resume!
Highlights from Disneyland!
+ THE BLUE BAYOU. We all finally got to eat there! Even one of us who grew up in the area had never been. Scarily expensive but SO WORTH IT. Our waiter was awesome and let us steal have a menu, lol. We tipped him extra.
+Cafe Orleans still has the best beignets EVER.
+Finally managed to do a complete mountain run. Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Matterhorn, all in one night. socalcharger even managed to do a DOUBLE run somehow. We haven't been able to this before because one of the rides would always be closed down.
+Didn't quite make it over to Pirate Cove (which took over Tom Sawyer Island) but it LOOKED cool.
-It was cold and rainy in the morning and chilly most of the day. This made splash mountain a bit of an annoyance, lol
-Had to DASH to the Aladdin show so we wouldn't miss it and had to sit in the Mezzanine again. Never sit in the Mezzanine for that show, btw, it ruins all the magic :(
I hope I'm not forgetting anything! Good night!
