Birthmonth Closing Ceremonies

Today is my birthday, but I've been celebrating since Saturday night! After work I went to a favorite Chinese restaurant with a few friends. Delicious food and lychee sours and special birthday treat from the owner! Super good fruity, bean paste-y fried gyoza things!

On Sunday we got up early and went to Harajuku for Hawaiian pancakey breakfast! I had the same thing I had last time (pineapple pancakes and potatoes). So good! After breakfast we spent two hours at karaoke. Beautiful singing and contraband champagne! Lovely!

In the afternoon, we headed to DisneySea and got Starlight passports (admittance after 3). The time disappeared quickly at first, as we got into a 120 minute long line for Journey to the Center of the Earth (it was dark when we got out!), but it slowed down after that. After shooting out of the volcano, we sailed with Sindbad and then got some dinner at the Mexican restaurant in Lost River Delta. Then a quick visit to our favorite bakery before viewing BraviSEAmo! Presented with - and this was a SUPER BIRTHDAY MIRACLE - a non-alternative ending! I'd never seen the full show before, so it was super thrilling. Extra great because this is my last chance to see it as the show is ending next month. After that we had a couple hours left before the park, and we managed to fit in Indy, StormRider, and Aquatopia in that time! Nicely done, us!

It was such a nice day! Breakfast and singing were lovely, and DisneySea is the best place I can imagine to spend a birthday. And PWD got me a birthday sticker at the Sea (they don't have buttons here like I got in California), so all the cast members were wishing me a happy birthday and the cashier at the Mexican place gave me a chef Mickey sticker and it was happiness.

The plans for today (actual birthday overlay) are not so exciting, but still nice. Mexican dinner later and Starbucks and relaxing and maybe a bit of shopping. Lovely lovely lovely!

Anyway, the birthmonth closing ceremonies have made for an amazing weekend of celebration!
