I made a note to myself at Club 33 in Disneyland to learn to make a good pineapple upside down cake after tasting how delicious theirs was. I wanted to find a version with the amaretto liquor flavor that they had, but haven’t had any luck, so instead, I decided to try a very highly…
A year ago, I posted a picture of my younger brother secretly flying to Colorado to propose to his girlfriend. Now, after 24+ hours in which we had a rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, photo shoot, ceremony, and reception, I am beyond thrilled to say that he and Tara are married! Both Aaron and I adore her;…
It is now Tuesday. We flew home yesterday and let me say the John Wayne Airport in Orange County is beautiful and well-run. The plane flew out over the Pacific Ocean and then banked back, parallel to the coast line, so we got the most amazing view. And I’m not sure what happened while we…
After breakfast at Steakhouse 55, we jumped on the monorail and went to the Magic Kingdom to enjoy our last day in the park. We flew out here on Friday and it’s now Sunday, so we will have to go back tomorrow. While Aaron was still getting the…
We all met for breakfast at Steakhouse 55 in the Disneyland Hotel this morning. We were both starving because we hadn’t eaten in 24 hours – there was so much food at Club 33, neither of us were in the mood for anything else and couldn’t bring myself to even have a snack by midnight. This…
If you can’t tell from the recent posts, I’m still out here in Southern California, where I flew out to spend the weekend with my college friends and continue our tradition of trips to the Disney parks. We passed Oswald the Lucky Rabbit’s store, which I told you I think is one of the most…
After lunch at Club 33 and a ride through the Haunted Mansion, we all decided to head over to Disney’s adjacent theme park, California Adventure. The moment we walked through the entrance I was greeted by one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. If you don’t know what you are seeing, you aren’t alone.…
Today is our lunch at Club 33 in Disneyland. I am excited about dining in what is unquestionably one of the most famous restaurants and dining rooms in the world but first, you need the backstory. Ten years ago, during college, Aaron, Ashly, and I, three friends who were in the same classical music studio…
A few minutes after midnight, my entire family and their respective spouses, minus one of my sisters, met at a local movie theater to see the premier of Man of Steel, the new Superman movie. When it was over, we went home to take a shower, change into something comfortable for travel, and head to the…
The first dividend from United Technologies came in today. Actually, it was deposited two days ago, but I forgot to note it when I checked the accounts. I told you when I added the position to the KRIP portfolio, and then later answered questions about the valuation of the stock. It is such a small…
