Saturday morning at the totally unreasonable time of 5 AM, I woke up to do some more hot rodding (in theory). What really actually happened was I woke up at 5 AM, made sure I was wearing all of the proper clothes required of me by society, and blearily made my way over to the other hotel to meet up with Jeff and Armon, my two die-hard Mustang buddies. From there I blearily followed them to a donut shop somewhere in the vicinity of Huntington Beach, where I blearily parked and blearily answered questions about my car. Once day dawned (finally), I woke myself up a bit and was able to really look around at where I was.
Clearly I am not enough of a morning person to take a good picture at 5:30 AM. |
One of several rows of cars. Donut shop was in the very back right of the pic there. |
A Jag with a distinctly not-Jag drivetrain. |
Anyways, after everyone cleared out around 9 AM, we decided to head to the beach! After all, what’s California – especially SoCal – without a little beach action? I wish we could have stayed longer but we had a ton of plans for the day. So after a couple of hours of wonderful sun and sand, we headed back inland to Knott’s Berry Farm.
I may have borrowed this picture... but this is exactly what it looked like! Widest beach I've ever seen in my life. |
The roller coasters were awesome - though one wooden coaster did probably make me a good candidate for a chiropractor - and the chicken was totally delicious! Biggest home cooking meal I’ve had in a really long time and I was glad for it. I’m not a very good Southerner despite being born and raised in NC, but I am always down for some good soul cooking and man can I pack it away when it’s put in front of me.
Suitably stuffed, we headed back to the hotel for some relaxation. It seemed like days had passed since Donut Derelicts despite it being that morning. But Sunday was the big day – Fabulous Fords Forever at Knott’s Deceptive Berry Farm! I of course had not cleaned the road grime off of Jane at all but I figured I could do it early in the morning before the show started (wrong). But more on that later in the next post… Kelly signing out!
