Friday
Took a half day at work. Grabbed lunch at Tropical Smoothie and got on the road at 3 pm. I drove until we got to Lenwood to get gas. Vince drove the rest of the way. Got a bit lost because they split the freeway but we still got to Dan and Corinne’s place on time. We ate at Souplantation (aka Sweet Tomatoes) for dinner. Played Smash Bros, Last of Us, and GTA V before going to bed.
Saturday (WONDER CON!)
Woke up early and grabbed a big breakfast at Bagels and Brew. We got to Anaheim in half an hour. We parked at the Toy Story parking lot, which was right across from the Convention Center, and just ate half of our breakfast in the car before heading in at 10 AM. Went around artist alley and the exhibit floor. Went back to the car to drop off stuff. Did the same thing. Met Jonathan and Lauren (cousin and friend, respectively, of our friend, Joel). Went back to the car to drop off stuff and grabbed our food to eat inside. Met Jeff (another one of Joel’s friends). One last round, we just walked around and went back to the car. I decided that I wanted beignets so we walked to Downtown Disney… which was a like a 20-minute walk (sorry Vincie). We chilled at Downtown Disney for a bit and dreaded that we had to walk all the way back. We saw that there was a shuttle that was heading back to the parking lot so we happily jumped on. We drove back home and played more games. Dan prepared dinner (which was suppose to be saved for tomorrow because I was hungry).
(Easter) Sunday
Slept in a bit… We went to Laguna Hills mall, which was a large mall that has been mostly abandoned but frequented by senior citizens. We went to Mitsuwa and Kinokuniya at Costa Mesa to get some snacks and stuff from the book store. Then we went to Cost Plus World Market (they sell Spotted Dick :D) and ended our day with Lollicup. Went home to play more games while Dan and Corinne prepared a German-ish dinner. Played Shrieks and Creaks, which was a very old board game. We ended the night by watching Red Letter Media “Best of the Worst” video.
Monday
We had a day off. We weren’t able to see Dan since he left really early for work but we did see Corinne and thanked her. We grabbed breakfast at Lyfe Kitchen at Irvine Spectrum Center, which is a gigantic outdoor mall near their place. We walked around for a bit and then went to Costco to get cheap gas before going on the road. Vince drove until we got to Lenwood and then I drove the rest of the way. We were back in Vegas around 4:00. We came home to a thankfully vomit-free and pee-free living room and hugged the kitties. We grabbed an early dinner at Lima Limon, a Peruvian restaurant. We ended our night by watching Monday Night Raw and the podcast with Chris Jericho and John Cena.
That was pretty much it. Sadly, this might be our last Wonder Con since it was reported that Wonder Con was moving to LA in 2016. It was still a great experience and relaxing mini-vacation.
We’re going to Wizard Con in 2 weeks!
