Woke up about 820, if you don’t count the middle of night leg cramp wake up, and that is as good as sleeping in gets. The cramp thing was not fun. Emily has a topical foam to spray on when they hit. Seems to help, cramps left.
Emily and I were the first up. I showered at 830. It is now after 930 and two are still in bed and another in the shower. I have a feeling we will be having lunch before we head out rather than breakfast.
No more Disneyland. Only one day this time. I think it’s enough. I’m tired. Back in the day we would spend a 5 day vacation in the House of the Mouse. Hard to believe. Of course, we were all younger then. And our goals were different. And it is a family friendly place. Maybe it’s just a life change.
I would truly love to go get a meal. This sitting around is killing me. Sitting makes me tired. So does standing for that matter.
I have found a place for breakfast, if we make it early enough to call it breakfast. The Cafe is very close, less than a mile. And it’s cheap. And 4 1/2 stars on Yelp. That’s the trifecta.
The rest of the crew finally dragged themselves out of bed and got ready. We checked out of the hotel since it was late and we were heading out anyway. Off to breakfast.
Restaurant was in the old packing district of Anaheim. It’s in a shared location with a couple other eateries. They seemed fine but I was more interested in the place I read about. We went to the counter when we got there, no table service. Ordered up breakfasts and coffee. Took a seat outside and waited. Beautiful day here in Anaheim. About 75 and sunny blue sky with no wind. A good day to enjoy a meal outside.
Food was excellent. Lives up to its hype. I had ordered the corn beef hash, as had both kids. Emily, no surprise, had biscuits and gravy. All were great and just to make me happy the food was hot, real hot. I just love it when that happens. Eggs were perfectly prepared too. And, guess what, they had hot sauce that was actually hot. That never happens.
We enjoyed a nice meal. Refilled our coffee a few times and enjoyed the day. Just to top it off the place validated parking. Can it get any better?
We left and went to the parking garage where we were greeted by a non working automatic parking machine. I had to press the help button and a live person came out of the machine and talked to me. It was a little strange. The man in the machine told me to press the help button at the exit gate and ask for Chris. And he would open the gate. Weird.
The button press got another voice at exit and the gate magically opened. Of course we are only a mile from the magic of Disneyland.
After that we made one stop at the bank to get $$ for Carly. We said our goodbyes and headed north. Our day was now fully planned out. Go north 500 miles. Make pee pee stops as needed. So we did. 7 1/2 hours later we arrived.
I drove the entire way. It’s my car, I would rather not allow anyone else to drive her. When we got home we unpacked, obvs, and put crap away, fed the animals, started the laundry and made the bed. The usual. Marika left for home without her cat. Emily wanted her to leave Vlad for some unknown reason.
Now we are watching TV. Usual crap. Almost bedtime. It is amazing how tiring a seven hour drive can be. Soon to bed.
