Day One: Road Trip
After much ado involving food, clean apartments and credit cards, we got on the road at about 10:30 ish. The drive was fun, full of music, snoozing, reading and talking. And snacking. Lots of snacking. When we got to my house my parents had soup ready for us and we talked with my parents and Kait for a while then hit the hay.
Day Two: Disneyland
We went to Disneyland! I love Disneyland! I love it even more when I get to go with people who have an affinity for all things Disney. It wasn't crazy packed so we got a lot of ground covered. The lines seemed to be pretty long but thanks to ingenious planning and fast passes we didn't spend all day standing in line.
Day Three: Beach
We went to the beach!!! I loved playing in the water. It was a little too cloudy for my taste, but still a good day.
After the beach we rushed to get ready to have dinner with Chris' grandma at Claim Jumpers. Sooo much food. It was way fun.
Day Four: Everyone leaves
Everyone left about noon. After spending the afternoon with my family, I got antsy to look at a baking book. I found The Art and Soul of Baking on-line at Sur la Table. I went out and bought it as well as a few other things (tartlet pans, cake decorating kit, and Lettuce Knife). I love Sur la Table! I could have spent the rest of the evening browsing the aisles and spending more money, but it got a little awkward being the only customer with 4 cashiers. Every single one of them told me how much they loved the book. As soon as I got home and got to peruse the recipes and tips, I started to fall in love with it too. So far I've made Chocolate-Rasberry Tartlets, Eclaires, and Lemon Meringue Tartlets.
Day Five-Today: Highlights
Here are some of the highlights:
-Missionaries came for dinner!
-I saw (500) Days of Summer, which is sooo good! I love it!
