weekend in Monterey

We took off Friday morning to do an overnight trip to Monterey with our friends Ben and Candice. Always nice to get away for a long weekend especially if you get back a day early to recover. This trip was an eat-a-thon. We got to Cannery Row and had a big seafood lunch and then headed to the aquarium since none of us have been there. Thanks for the Entertainment book coupon Eva. That saved us a total of $20! After that we checked into the Quality Inn, one of many spots with absolutely no vacancy for the weekend. Thanks AAA! After a long nap (God we're old), we walked down to Alvarado street for dinner and then headed back to the hotel after a stop off at the local liquor store. The next day we did the 17 mile drive, walked around Carmel, ate another huge lunch and headed back home where we went to Tapioca Express in Mountain View (the people who work there are sooooo confused on so many levels) to eat a late dinner. Today Simon and I geeked out at Fry's and then walked around Ikea where we also ended up eating dinner. Hooray for $2.99 BBQ chicken special and $2 desserts!

Nothing more trailer than drinking malt liquor and eating chips in bed

Looks like a fun trip, regardless of the percentage of trailer trashin ;) What happened with Tapioca Express?

They neglected to tell us that the add a drink for 99 cents special applied only to a particular flavour (unlike Tapioca Express in San Mateo), then they got my friends order mixed up. They've also mixed up my bf's order on another occasion so bad he almost finished the conversation in Cantonese to avoid further confusion in English.
