Sep. 22nd, 2008 10:12 pmToday we visited the cradle of aviation and cloud 9 yachts.
As soon as I stepped into the cradle of aviation, I wanted to cry. It's perfect. It's better than in the pictures. It's exactly what I want.
The new guy is a significant improvement over the old guy. He gave me a tour of the place and explained a lot of stuff the other guy refused to. While on the tour, I realized though that I will need to rent two rooms rather than one.
Plan:
- Have ceremony in red planet cafe
- Go into space hall for cocktail hour while red planet cafe is converted to dinner tables
- Have dinner back in red planet cafe
That's another $1,500! Sad! So expensive! But so perfect! Curse you, pretty museum of shiny things!!!!
After that, the yacht was not nearly as impressive. It was nice, but for the price, it wasn't really worth it. Plus the docking fee was astronomically higher than I thought it would be. Like more than 4 times higher.
The "best" part of the yacht was when it had drifted from the dock a little while we were on it, so we had to leap to the dock. Scary!
It was about rush hour at that point so we stopped at my aunt leona's house in brooklyn to wait. She's the one who always gives me hello kitty stuff.
She took us out to a polish restaurant. I had vegetarian chili and some pirogis. Then we went back to her place where I played with some of her kittens. She's a crazy cat lady, so she has about 8 cats in the house, and who knows how many she feeds outside. The kitten actually came from outside, so it doesn't know how to play with people yet. I taught it how to chase string. It spent the rest of the evening attacking anyone who wiggled their fingers too much.
Aunt leona sent me home with a bag full of candy, the way my great grandma used to do. She also tried to give me a new purse. However, she would not let me take the kitten. :(
Back at my parents house now. Ben is being unhelpful by encouraging me to have the wedding at the place I like. There goes my budget!
