We arrived at Epcot and headed straight towards the "golf ball".
-shudder-
Ahhh, Spaceship Earth! A classic!
Don't mind the chunk missing from my neck and P's extremely creepy expression.
We then decided to brave the rain and explore the World Showcase! I don't know what's worse...walking the WS in the scalding hot sun and humidity or walking it in the pouring rain. Hmmm.
I know we definitely spent a little time in China because I wanted to look for the "bubble sandals" I bought on our last trip. That's not the official name, but I don't know what else to call them!
Here's a pic of me sportin' this stylish form of footwear from our September 2011 trip.
Needless to say, my friends back home fell in love and all wanted a pair for themselves. P, on the other hand, thought they were the most hideous things he's ever laid eyes on and proceeded to gag uncontrollably every time I wore them even though I did a survey at work and a majority thought they were "cute" anyway...LOL.
Unfortunately, they were no longer selling this style. The ones they had this time around had little plastic strawberries on them, and they were just not the same! Sad face.
The it looks like we spent a little time in Japan!
Another one of my favorite pastimes was making Patrick pose with random adorable things. Aren't I such a great girlfriend??
I love me some cute animal plushes!
Soon it was time for us to head to our ADR! Where were we going??
Borrowed from good ol' Google Images.
This place wasn't one of my top choices, since I didn't like seafood at this point in my life. However, P really wanted to try it and hellloooooo giant fish tank, so I was game.
While walking over, I was starting to get that confusing moody/depressed feeling again at this point, and I was texting my mom about it.
We got to restaurant and checked it. We were seated right next to the big tank! Yay!
We started off with an appetizer...the crab cakes with tropical fruit salsa.
Again, credit to Google Images.
I was feeling brave and wanted to dabble in some new foods. I tried these, and SURPRISE! Loved it. I was so happy that I was trying seafood on this trip, and LIKING IT!
For my entrée, I went with the safe dish. The chicken with spaetzle. It was okay...kinda bland. But then again, I'm not a huge chicken person. It was just the only "land" item that semi-appealed to me on the menu.
Patrick got the lobster orecchiette pasta.
OH MY GOD. I immediately regretted being "safe". I tried a bite of this pasta, and it was amazing. I don't even like lobster (and yes, I've tried it several times) and I loved this dish. I would totally come back here for it!
Anyway, throughout dinner I was texting my mom about my moodiness. Even though I told P this, apparently he was suspicious it was some random guy on the other end. Idk. So that put him in an off mood, too. Hooray. Like I've said before, our relationship was just not healthy at this point. So with that bit off tension looming between us, we paid and headed on back to Pop.
I was going to jump in the shower, and for some reason I had the feeling that Patrick was going to snoop through my phone while I was in there. (I've caught him doing it before. Once again, bad relationship, lol)
So, I set a "trap". Having an iPhone, I utilized the little close apps feature. I double pressed the home button, and closed out all apps, including messages which I usually leave there. That way, I could see if the app had been opened while I was in the shower. Sneaky, I know. But I just had to see if my feeling was right. I was just so frustrated with his lack of trust in me when I had told him I was texting my mom.
Sure enough, I got out of the shower and checked my phone to see that my messages had indeed been opened. I confronted him about it, and after continuously pressing, he fessed up since he had no way out of it. We had a big ol' fight, but settled it fast. It actually helped to clear up the tension a lot and we were able to get along much better for the duration of our trip!
Well it was off to bed for us!
Stay tuned, there are more brand new experiences to be had!
