From Vegas to Anaheim

So. Today is day two of my summer vacation. And I started the day off in Las Vegas and am now ending it off in Anaheim. That's right folks, I am at Disneyland. The reason why, is because my mother thought it would be fun for us girls to not just "sit by the pool" or "see the sights we have already seen". Instead we got a 3 day pass to Disneyland. And I don't really know how I feel about it.

I mean I have just spent the day there and it was fun, but I was honestly looking forward to sleeping in and just chillin like a villain by the pool. plus (and at another time I will write more on my reasoning why) I fucking hate theme parks when they are busy or have long lines. I just don't see the point of waiting in line for 45 minutes to go on a ride for literally 4 minutes. And we went on Pirates of the Caribbean today, and it literally was you looking at puppets singing a song. It was the grown-up version of It's A Small World. Like. WTF. But. I love my mother to death, and I understand where she was thinking. So I will be happy for the next couple of days. And I understand that people are reading this and going "what a spoiled brat" but I'm not. I mean this wasn't what I was expecting. I may not be an organized person, but when I am going on vacation I like to be mentally prepared for what I am getting myself into, for at least 2 weeks in advance. I'm sorta still processing this entire thing.

But to let you know about my trip so far, I got up at 6:00am today, drove to Anaheim (4 hourish drive) then park the car and walked into Disneyland. Then we went on Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Snow White's ride (who knows what the title is), Thunder Mountain, It's a Small World, Indiana Jones, and more. One that I really enjoyed was Space Mountain. It was effing epic. It was like you were a rocket ship and you took off and were flying around space. It s black with small white lighd (the stars). I would definitely have gone on that again. But that was the longest line up. Then we went for dinner at the Blue Bayou in the New Orleans section. And omfg it was expensive. I mean I ordered my meal and was starving and after my soup (all entrees come with a soup or salad) I was full. Honest to God. And then we got bread, and then our meals came out. And I mean it was the one of the few proportionate meals that the states has to offer, but I felt like I couldn't eat it. And it was $34. So want to know what I did? I stuffed my face. I ate the entire thing, and almost threw up because that entire meal cost $34. Times that by 4. For one meal. Holy shit. The waiter who cleared my plate laughed when she grabbed it, because I had literally finished and then looked down at my plate said "who just ate their money's worth", sorta did a hand gesture at my plate in the "like a boss" movement, then sat back. And at that exact moment the waiter came up. Yup. I do that in public.

Weather wise, it was warm for the beginning of the day. And then at like 5/6 it started getting chilly. And I was getting looks because I was in a t-shirt and shorts. It was warm people. There were literally people walking down with full on winter jackets. I kinda wanted to slap them silly for being ridiculous. But currently it is 8:30pm here and I am writing this post in bed. I could just sleep and never wake up. And wil probably fall asleep in under 5 minutes after posting this. It's sad that I have to go to bed by 10 o'clock my time, whereever I go. But it's just a thing of life.

 I miss all my friends back home, whether you are in Lethbridge, Calgary, Yellowknife, or wherever. I shall see you soon. I could never move away from Canada. I would get to homesick from missing my friends. :)

Chelsea: hope Dan isn't pissing you off too much after day one.
