Spring Break
California was fun. We had a series of mishaps and situations were exacerbated by the fact that neither of us really likes to be "a bother" so instead of asking questions about things that weren't working we just complained about them. Like not having a microwave in our room.
I met Henry's dad, he's nice. We ate breakfast and drove him to Bob Hope Memorial Airport in Burbank so it's not like we had a heart-to-heart or anything. It tickles me that He has an even more pronounced accent than Henry's mom but Henry and his brother don't really at all. Makes me giggle.
Henry drove me around Valencia in our PT Cruiser, which I liked and he hated. I felt really far away from the dashboard considering how little those things are. He nammered on about everything that's changed and we ate at Weiner Schnitzel. I had mini corn dogs and Henry had chili cheese everything. Went to Zoom? Beach with Molly and Rachel. It was cold but I acted like a two-year old and thusly had a mound of fun. Can't wait to snag copies of the pics everyone else took. We went to Disney and my camera crapped out about halfway through the day. It was fun but I don't think the fun/price ratio was as high as Six Flags (in Illinois) is, novel though. We went to Little Tokyo twice because the first day we got there about a 20 minutes before the museum closed. I bought the complete Spiral (anime) series and after we started watching it we realized that Henry didn't get the second disk as a Christmas present he got the fourth but it's good anyway. And I splurged and bought myself three manga, which I devoured as soon as we got home and have been re-reading the rest of my collection ever since.
We also went to Santa Monica a couple of times, that was fun too. We never made it out to Hollywood but I got to eat at Johnny Rockets in Santa Monica so that was nice. We never swam in the hotel pool and we only got to park in the parking lot two out of the five nights we were there and Thursday morning we had a parking ticket from parking on the wrong side of the road.
I started to get sick on Sunday when we were leaving. Sore throat and coughing. Took some Benedryl for the plane ride which ended up being not such a good idea. They woke me up for cookies and pretzels which took about ten minutes to make me sick. I threw up twice. Once in the bathroom and once into one of those fancy barf bags... during our decent. Henry wasn't too excited to be the go-between and have to pass that to the flight attendant, but he didn't have a choice.
If you want the entertaining version of this story you're just going to have to live with that.
