And then!

There was no school on Wednesday so we had SUPER ADVENTURE TIME!

First we went here, to Galco’s Soda Pop Stop:

And this is what we took home:

P1010171

And then we went to Fosselman’s, for the best ice cream ever,

P1010155

(flavours pictured include:  lemon custard, banana heath bar, chocolate covered strawberry, cinnamon)

And then we saw a truly remarkable diner sign, so obviously we had to stop for dinner.  Goody’s, home of the snooty burger (???) did not disappoint.  I ate ten pounds of chicken pot pie with soup and potatoes and salad and bread for eight dollars and fifty cents.  EIGHT DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS!  For more old people food than you can imagine!

P1010157

P1010158

P1010159

And then all of my dreams came true, for lo, we found ourselves at Bahooka!

P1010170

Bahooka is notable for several things:  a thirty-two year old piranha named Rufus, who eats carrots, absurdly over the top tiki decor; over 110 aquariums; and cocktails served in salad bowls, on fire.

P1010169

P1010162

P1010168

P1010163

P1010166

P1010167

And then we watched Gidget Goes Hawaiian, and my life was complete.  (Lesson I learned from Gidget Goes Hawaiian:  don’t talk to boys or restaurant heiresses will tell your parents that you’re a slut.)

    YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND! There isn’t actually a Boylan’s there, though.

    I haven’t seen Psycho Beach Party. But it is on my master list of beach movies that I need to see! (Yes, such a document exists.)
