July 9th
We picked her up at around 11:30am from the Airport. She's so cute, and I love her to death. We had Tim get her luggage, and off to Ocean Beach we went. Fish Tacos at South Beach Bar and Grille. They truly have the BEST fish tacos in the world. I HATE HATE HATE seafood, and I LOVE their fish tacos! We ate them while watching the pier and ocean. Then we headed out to the beach. Took some adorable pictures.
Tim & Stacy! <3 These two!
Look. Sand!
The waves kinda suck. Really rough, Little form. No One was really surfing.
My lovely footsies. I need a pedicure!
There's a few guys who have gone out, and trying to surf. Most don't stay long though..and neither do we!
After this we headed back to my place. Pool + BBQ = Win! We invited my family over, and we all went swimming and BBQ'd Carne & Pollo Asada. The chicken definitely was the best! We had a great day, and all passed out around midnight.
Sunday July 10th.
We were gonna get up early, but that was not gonna happen! We get ready and head to Encinitas to Pick up Tim's Surfboard! Stacy wants to learn how to surf, and so we decided to find a beach. We drove down the coast (stopping at one FABULOUS spot, which ended up being no parking, so we quickly left.. Don't want a parking Ticket in Del Mar!), and ended up at Torrey Pines State Beach. After spending like 20 minutes trying to find parking, we dumped Tim with a bunch of the stuff at the curb, and drove over to the Paid Parking Lot. $10 NOW!! It was $8 last summer, and $6 the year before!
We found a nice spot on the beach, as close to the rocks as we could. Then the lessons began! Lets just say that the waves did NOT improve from the day before. They had actually gotten BIGGER, and were 3-5 ft. This is pretty big for San Diego, and REALLY hard to learn on. There was also a pretty strong current. Stacy tried for over an hour to get up on the board, but the rough waves, and big surf made it near impossible. I did take the water camera out, and got some Fantastic photos!
We walked down the beach to a spot where there weren't any tourists playing in the water so they wouldn't get hurt if the board got away from her.
Stapping up.. hehe.
Tim carried the board into the water while we got used to the temp. It was cold for the first 10 min..
This is the whitewash from in between the sets. It was the smallest, but still pretty rough, and not really strong enough to surf.
I think this was attempt #4 or 5. I was getting beat up pretty bad because I had my body board with me.
She kept trying despite it being really bad conditions. I'm proud she didnt give up immediately.
This is whitewash from IN BETWEEN sets. I was too busy ducking and dodging waves during sets to photograph them. The waves were 10-12 seconds apart during a set, and you barely had time to recover, let alone have fun.
She missed that wave, but Tim was giving her pointers on balance at this point.
See that BLUE in the left corner? That's my Body Board. Pulling me under. It's about a 3-4 ft wave... and strong. I decided after this that it was time to head in and dump the board.
I am alive. thankfully. But really exhausted from fighting the surf. I walked back to basecamp, and decided to take some pics. Stacy ended up coming back too, and Tim attempted to surf. He didn't last long though, and ended up swapping for my body board, so he could have a little fun in the bigger surf.
The surf started coming up... High Tide was at 6pm, and +6! At 4pm we had oceanfront camping going on, and decided to pack some stuff up. I did take some pictures though. You know me too well by now!

This was a recovery day really. Pool, a little Walmart action, cooking dinner, watching movies. I worked until Noon. Stacy and Tim went to the Lake around the corner from my house and had lunch. It was definitely a relaxing day...and getting ready for Disneyland.
Tuesday, July 12, 2011
So we set our alarms for 5am. I had no idea how early it was when I went to bed at 1:30am. We had to leave by 6am, because we had to drop off Halloween/Xmas stuff to Johan and Julie in Lake Forest, and then be at the Ticket Place for Stacy's Ticket by 8am. We ended up only being about 20 or so minutes late.
We got to Disneyland by about 9:30am. We opted to first go over to Disneyland and get Star Tours Fast Passes. 5:30pm was our return time! We then saw that the line was only 65 min, so decided to wait. Stacy had a disabled pass, which cut about 20 minutes off our wait.
Its overcast, but warm at this point. We waited in the outside line...
And then these guys came out to entertain us! They took pictures with the guests, and then went inside the building...
They wandered through the line, mingling with guests. Really Cool!
We got stuck in the front row. We got Storm Troopers, Tattooine, Leia, and Coruscant. Lame. I've seen this exact one before! Oh well. After this we decided to go on Space Mountain, so we waited in the Handicap Area. Just before we are set to go... *ppppeeeewwwww* everything halts. Lights come on. Tim has broken ANOTHER ride! hehe. So we are sitting, waiting for them to fix it. They said about 10 minutes. No one leaves.
and he does!!
Tim and I.. He always makes goofy faces!
Then we go to Roger Rabbit. Some rides have FANTASTIC handicap access. Roger Rabbit is one of them. Haunted Mansion is another, Splash Mountain is a third (if you can climb a few steps). Roger Rabbit had about a 5 minute wait for handicap, vs. a 65 minute wait for regular. We enjoyed the ride, and took 1 awesome picture afterwards!
After this we head to Splash Mountain because it's Hot! It's about 1pm now, and we wanted to cool off.
While deciding whether to wait in the handicap line, or take the fastpass handicap route, Stacy saw Eeyore. She really wanted a picture with him, so we waited in line.
So we figured out who would sit where:
The order went Stacy, Tim, Me. Tim even convinced Stacy to wear the blindfold down the BIG drop! And then dumped a whole bottle of water on her head going down!
This might be the greatest picture EVER! Timed and executed PERFECTLY! Stacy was less than thrilled, but it was too funny to be mad about it!
By the time we were done it was about 2:30, and we were all hungry. We headed out of the parks to our Locker and got our lunches. Tim decided he needed to go to the Car, and Stacy went with him. While they were gone, I took a catnap...and braided my hair.
Phineas and Ferb. It's Fun while waiting in line!
Thats a LOT of lightbulbs.
We head over to Screamin at this point, and grab fast passes for it. They don't have a handicap option, so we waited in line (about 30 min), which is pushing the limit for Stacy to stand around on her foot. Walking is ok, but standing still is less than fun for her. She had no idea what to expect, and the resulting picture is FANTASTIC!
It's hard to tell because I only got 1 shot, and it's less than stellar.
After this we still had about an hour to wait for our fast passes to be ready...so we headed over to Silly Symphony Swings! SO much fun!
Then we headed BACK to Screamin' for our 2nd Ride! Fastpasses meant we had about a 5 minute wait! Stacy knew where the picture was coming this time, and took a MUCH better photo!
Tim needed a break after this, so we sat down in the 'food court' and took a break deciding what our next move would be. We wanted to do Tower of Terror, but the line was 45 minutes, with no Handicap option, so Stacy said she didn't want to stand around for that long. Understandable. We then found out that ElecTRONica is serving Drinks already! It's like 6:30pm. But the Party doesn't start until 8! To avoid the teenage crowds, we got Glowjitos. $11.50 each. Totally worth it! We each had one whole one, and then we all shared 2 more! Stacy drank most of them, and we were Giggly after this. She was more Drunk. Thankfully I was driving... lol.
We could see the crowds forming, so we grabbed our sweaters from the Locker and went back to Disneyland. We had fastpasses for Star Tours. Stacy doesn't remember ANYTHING after this. LOL. I guess the Glowjitos really hit her. We went on Star Tours, and got Storm Troopers, Hoth, Leia, and Naboo! So excited! I hadn't seen Hoth or Naboo! Then the crowds were really big, people waiting for the Fireworks, and Fantasmic. We wanted to ride Jungle Cruise at Night. It was about 8pm by this point, and our Jungle Cruise Captain was REALLY bad. He wasn't even funny in a bad way. He was totally unfunny. Plus, they had the waterfall turned off completely. WTH. It was the WORST ride EVER. When we got done with this, we went over to Big Thunder Railroad. The handicap line was LONG, but we had grabbed Fast Passes earlier in the day. We realize at this point that we are NEVER gonna make World of Color, and resolve ourselves to This being the last ride of the day. As we were riding Big Thunder, the FIREWORKS! started going off next to us! Might be the coolest way to end a Disney Day (other than stopping at In N Out in Lake Forest.).

I have to work all day today. Stacy and Tim sleep most of the day. When I got home from work, we ran to walmart to get tshirts for Harry Potter. I made us 3 of the best tshirts I saw all day!

HARRY POTTER DAY!
I have an entire blog entry for this day.. http://wickedwishings.blogspot.com/2011/07/harry-potter-part-2.html
and the Death Eater Logo on the Back.
Tim's Shirt says "Don't be such a Whorecrux", with "Dumbledore wants YOU for his Army" on the back. Stacy's Shirt simply says "DA, Dumbledores Army" on the front and Back. 
It was ALL WORTH the wait for the Movie.

Stacy's LAST night in San Diego! Tim really wanted to take us to Pizza Port in OB for Dinner, and then to grab a drink before coming back to Lakeside and walking to a local bar! Smart idea really.
We got the Carlsbad Pizza. It was awesome.
We then went to the Pacific Shores Cafe. A cute little Bar in OB on Newport. We each had 1 drink, and the jumped in the truck to come home!
We changed purses, clothes, etc, and headed out to Eastbound to start. They serve Beer and Wine.

I'm pretty sure that Stacy was STILL drunk when I woke her up at 5am to get ready to go home. I had sobered up by that point only having drunk 6 or so drinks All night. But Boy was I tired. I was really sad to see her go, but I'm glad she came out!
Tim and I came home Saturday Morning, and both passed out until about 1pm. What a Wonderful Week!
