19 More Days!

My parents and I drove out to Palm Desert to visit my grandparents on Saturday. The whole time we watched the Olympics and I played golf with my grandma in the morning (and she totally kicked my butt once again). Once we left my grandparents house on Sunday, we met up with my friends and we drove to Laguna Beach and we spent the rest of the day making sand angels, crashing against the waves, and shopping at $15 stores. 

After a whole day rolling in the sand and swimming in the freezing cold ocean called for a hot shower once we returned to the hotel. The next day we woke up at 8ish to get ready for a day at Disneyland. One of the positives of transplant would be the handicap pass offered at both Disneyland and California Adventure.  With my scar as proof of my heart condition gives me and my party a handicapped pass that pushes me to the front of pretty much every line. 

We went on almost every single ride except Jungle Cruise, Aladdin’s Oasis, Matterhorn, and Autopia. After every ride is a gift shop waiting to eat away your wallet. My parents gave me $140 spending money and I sure wasn’t going to spend a third of it on a $50 t-shirt. Throughout the entire trip, I bought an Alice in Wonderland pin, a Nightmare Before Christmas hat, a little gift for my boyfriend, a sundress at Laguna Beach and whole lot of snackage (I pat myself on the shoulder for resisting the glorious merchandise)! After watching fireworks and Fantasmic my whole lower body was done (maybe one more time on Space Mountain)! The day spent walking was well worth the pain but I still couldn’t wait to go back to the hotel and sleep…  Tomorrow morning, California Adventure!

Our routine was the same in the morning but unlike Disneyland, California Adventure has changed their policy. My handicap pass didn’t give me much of an advantage besides skipping the stairs (which doesn’t really help my situation) so we focused more on the activities that you usually wouldn’t do. We went on two rides, California Screamin and Tower of Terror, but we also went to a drawing class, a dance party, watched a parade, watched Aladdin the musical, ate a couple churros, went to another dance party, and ended the day with World of Color. I thought my feet hurt after Disneyland… the throbbing, aching pain in my whole lower body was accumulated from two whole days of walking. I just wanted to cry but instead, I started laughing because the throbbing was sort of ticklish… 

After a crazy drive back to the hotel we passed out almost immediately. The next morning, we slept in a little longer, packed like ninjas and drove back to Arizona… you know you’re there when you see cactus -____- 

Until we meet again, I will miss you California! 

Keeping on the bright side, there are only 19 more days till camp! Woo just typing a number less than twenty is so excited! I’ve already made my “What to Bring” list, now all I need is the info packet! *fingers crossed I get it in the mail soon* Not to mention school begins on Monday! In a weird way I’m sort of excited for my Junior year, being an upperclassmen and my first year at EVIT should be interesting. With only two days away I still haven’t bought all my school supplies. I hate being left with whatever nobody else wanted at Office Max. But I guess that’s just karma for being last minute!

19 MORE DAYS!
