Valentines Day - Couples Breakfast

So, Joel and I got up at, what I consider to be, the butt crack of dawn (9am, yes-yes, I'm a major douche).  And we picked up Steve and Lisa so we could go to the Donner Kitchen. I was a bit groggy and very excited to have a Santa Clause mug filled with caffeine. Lili was in the mood for boob surfing.
 Can you tell I'm groggy? Major puffy eyes!
 Apparently I'm disgusted by fake flowers...
We ate our gigantic breakfasts and  decided that we would head to Truckee for some more coffee and outdoor photo-ops. But first I have a fairly hilarious photo and a video of explanation.
And then here is the video that Joel accidentally took before hand...

 Yeah...Puffy eyes and sunlight are not my friends.
 I found it hilarious that the book and Bean called their soup of the day Soup Nazi
 Steve and Joel pontificating.
 Hey Everybody! ACT NATURAL
 More NATURAL
 Okay, Less NATURAL
 TOO MUCH!!!
 Steve looks slightly frightened...
 She rubs the lotion on his skin...hahaha
 She also wipes her butt on him.
 Totally Awesome!
 We felt like chaperons, lol.
Next up I'll be posting the group outing to Soule Domain, where we TORE IT UP...seriously. It. Was. Epic.

The Final Installment of the So-Cal Vacation.

Are you excited? Because I am! Thank god right? It has taken me like 4 months to finish it with all of the other blogs mixed in. Anyway!
I forgot to show this is the past blog this is the exterior of the restaurant they shot the morning after scene in Knocked up...YAY!!!
 All of these pictures were taken on the day we left. We actually managed to pack quite a bit in for how little time we had. We left our hotel in Santa Monica, I was a little sad to leave since It had such a nice view of the ocean. We then drove down to Long Beach. We had about 4 and a half ours to kill before it was time to get back onto the ricket-rocket and jet back home. We decided that we would visit the Long Beach Aquarium since we are both quite large nerds and also the Santa Monica Aquarium had been closed that day anyway.
 Giant clam thingy.

 And here comes the series of photos that A. Remind me of Finding Nemo and 2. (yes 2) Make me want to ride the Nemo ride at Disneyland again.

 Seahorses! There were like 5 different types of sea horses and I'm almost positive I got a picture of all of them. These are the most normal of the bunch (P.S. You can click on any picture to make it big...I've never said that before...maybe I should have...whoops)
 Scary pointy fishies!
 Leafy Seahorses, What's cool was that If you looked in the tanks you could see the Sea Horses digging their tails into the sand to hold them in place.
 SEA TURTLE!!! Us and a couple of little kids hung out near this tank for like 15 minutes just watching him swim around!

Alas, it was not meant to be we actually had to high tail it to get to the airport so that we could wait around for about 2 hours, lol. We didn't want to be late for the flight like we were the first time!

This was the last picture I took until we got up in the air. I never knew how close Randy's Donuts was to the airport, that was kind of weird/exciting!

Yes those are two bottles of vodka in my mouth. I'm not normally a big drinker but if you're getting me on an airplane my ass is getting drunk...sorry. This is the last photo from the trip (technically).

Btw, if you know any of the names of the fish listed above let me know and I'll change them!
