The Food on My Honeymoon

This is a separate post because I have a lot to say about the places we ate on our honeymoon. They were all delicious! And they used up all our money...

So the first meal of our honeymoon was in the Salt Lake Airport. We ate at Market Street Grill. It was absolutely delicious! Chris got the Utah trout with a side of the biggest broccoli I've ever seen and some rice.  I sampled his meal and it was really good! I didn't want to eat too much before a flight so I stuck with a chicken Caesar salad, my favorite! It was very good too. One of the best Caesar salads I've had in a long time.

In conclusion, I vote that if you see a Market Street Grill, you go for it. You may be spending a bit more money, but you'll be getting quality food. (PS, because our flight had been cancelled the airline gave us these coupons to use anywhere in the airport, so we got $20 off our meal!)

Later that day we visited a new place we've never heard of called Fire and Ice Grill and Bar.

This is a very different kind of restaurant. It's all-you-can-eat, it's get-up-and-get-your-own-food, and it's watch-a-very-cool-and-talented-teenager-prepare-your-food. So we got up and decided to start with pastas. So we filled these bowls with all the things we wanted in our pasta. The noodles, the vegetables, the meat, etc. Then we took the bowls to the chef who laid them on the grill.

So our meals were just laying on this grill where hundred of other meals had been prepared that day and I had watched how the grill was cleaned... not up to my standards. So I was a little paranoid. But my pasta was very good. Chris liked his too.

Because it's all-you-can-eat, we wanted to make the money worth it and tried a pizza as well.

The chef laid our pizza on the grill and covered it, letting it really cook. And while it turned out to be the ugliest pizza of my life, it was very good.

I enjoyed the restaurant as a whole, but I did not find it to be worth the money we paid. It's a very cool concept, but when you're waiting for your food at a grill for 20+ minutes you're idily wondering what's happening back at your abandoned table. Is your purse getting stolen? Is someone sipping from your drinks? Most restaurants you end up waiting 20+ minutes for your food, but at least there you're sitting at your table, protecting your stuff. You could ask Chris, I was paranoid the whole time about my purse. I was also paranoid about how clean the grill was. It was a great experience, but I don't know if I'll ever go there again. Sorry Chris.

For lunch the next day we went to Johnny Rockets at Huntington Beach. I wanted Dwights. We specifically went to that part of the beach for Dwights, but sadly it was closed. So then my only request was a burger, and we ended up at Johnny Rockets. I really liked it too.

I can't remember exactly what we got except that ours both had bacon. And Chris's looks like it had onion rings. Then we shared a chocolate milkshake. I really enjoyed it (I always love a good burger and fries) Chris didn't seem to enjoy it as much. And he said something about it being unoriginal. But I loved it. We had a great waiter as well who gave us ketchup smiles and the whole time was being viciously ordered around by his boss (there's a time and a place, don't yell at your workers in front of the customers). But I really enjoyed Johnny Rockets.

Our next lunch meal was in Disneyland and we visited the Stage Door Cafe. Chris got fish and chips, I got chicken breast nuggets. Both of us were amazed at how amazing our food was. I get chicken tenders everywhere, but these ones were super good! I also tried Chris's meal and was amazed at how good it was! Disneyland is always expensive, but this was one of the cheaper places too, so I definitely recommend checking it out.

That night we ordered pizza to our room. It was a great deal, pizza, hot wings, salad and a soda for a good price. But it made my stomach hurt. It wasn't good. The salad was okay. But the pizza crust was like cardboard and I've never liked wings. They were also really weird when I went to pay them. The delivery guy didn't speak any English and I had to write down my credit card number even though Chris had already told it to them over the phone. It got me really paranoid. But nothing weird has happened on my credit card so I think we're good. The place I think was called Pizza Plus, but don't mix it up with the Pizza Plus in Cache Valley, because the one in Cache Valley is good, the one in Anaheim, not so good.

Our next meal was at California Adventure for lunch. We chose to eat at Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill. As always, Disneyland food is always better than you expect. I had tamales Chris had a burrito. We both loved out meal. However, there were little birds flying around us waiting to steal our food. I am terrified of birds and hated it.

Our next meals I didn't get pictures of. However, I have pictures of the treats I had while on the trip:

I love Cheetos!!! 

Chocolate ice cream cone #1

Mickey suckers

Ice cream #2

Popcorn!!! (I'm making the face because I was very angry at this kid throwing his popcorn on the ground)

Mickey pretzel!!! 

Ice cream cone #3 (and Chris's second)

Dole pineapple ice cream (I don't like pineapple, but Chris was obsessed, and PS, the line for this ice cream is almost as bad as the lines for the rides. Apparently everyone loves this ice cream and waits in line for 20 minutes to get some.)

The final meal of our honeymoon will be in another post. One where Chris and I will write how it was the greatest meal of our lives (as well as the most expensive, but totally worth it).

My Honeymoon!

So I want to write all about my wedding day, but I don't have all the pictures yet, so that will have to wait for a little while.

My honeymoon was INCREDIBLE!!! ...except for the beginning.

So we spent our wedding night at The Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City. Everyone at that hotel is so nice. They gave us chocolate covered strawberries, sparkling citrus lemonade and a gift certificate to come back on our anniversary. I wish I had pictures, but unfortunately my brother had my camera. We had to meet up with my mom the next day to get my camera, but it's okay because when we met my mom she gave us more of our wedding cake (which was the most delicious cake of my life).

Then we drove to Chris's parent's house, or, my new in-laws. It was Mother's Day and we were able to talk with Chris's brother Sheldon (who is on an LDS mission in Michigan) on Skype. It was really cool to talk to him. I've only met him once and that was before Chris and I were even dating. I'm very excited I'll get to officially meet him when he gets home in November.

So then Chris's parents drove us to the airport so we could catch our flight to California! So we go through baggage, security and we sit at wait for almost two hours and then they announce that our flight is cancelled. What? When does that ever happen? Seriously? In the winter that happens a lot, but not on a bright sunny day in May!

So the airline arranges a new flight plan for us, but it left 11:00 AM the next day, went to Seattle, then to Portland, then it landed in California at 7:00 PM. We called the airline and talked to them about that. The guy on the phone told Chris "Wow! They have you going across the whole country!" And then he changed our flight to the same time the next day. So we were stuck in Utah for another day.

My new mother-in-law got us a room at their time share in Wolf Creek (thanks again Michelle!). We were able to use the hot tub and just relax. It was really nice. The next day we drove to Ogden and went to the Dinosaur Park!!

After that we were dropped off at the airport again and this time, our flight was not cancelled!!

So we landed, rented our car and drove to our hotel, which had this beautiful view... of DISNEYLAND!!!

Yep, the tall building on the right is the Tower of Terror!! So we settled in and ate at a delicious place at the Garden Walk in Anaheim (but I'm writing a whole other post about all the delicious food we ate on our trip).

The next day we went to Huntington Beach. I was very upset because I wanted to go there so I could specifically go to Dwights, but it was closed. :( But I do love Huntington Beach. It's absolutely beautiful!

So we did lots of playing in the water, burying each other and soaking up the sun! Then we got some food and enjoyed a Farmers Market going on and did some shopping. I absolutely loved it! I'm a huge fan of beaches! Why I live in Utah where there are none, I'm not sure! But I just love going to the beach!

That night we went to see The Great Gatsby. I'm a huge fan! The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite books and I'm beyond excited to teach it when I teach high school English and I found the movie to be very good!

The next day was DISNEYLAND!!! Chris surprised me and got us these fabulous matching shirts! We also went and got these "Just Married" pins at the Disneyland City Hall. If you are going to Disneyland on your honeymoon, I highly suggest doing this. All the workers, and lots of other Disneyland goers, would congratulate us and we ended up getting three fast passes because of them! Totally worth it.

I cannot say enough about Disneyland, I'm in love! I would go there everyday if I could! It just makes me so happy to be there!

We spent the next day in California Adventure and had such a great time! The new Cars Land is incredible! It's so authentic! The rides are awesome and the food is great! We were in love with the ice cream cones! I got one everyday! We also loved the Radiator Spring Racers! Best ride ever, and  the only rides we went on twice in a row, thanks to a generous man who gave us his fast passes!

I wore my Perry the Platypus shirt at California Adventure and the guy on the Phineas and Ferb parade float pointed at me and said over the microphone that he like my shirt. I felt very special. :)

Yep, they really were pointing at me. The next, and last day of our trip we had a park hopper ticket and visited both Disneyland and California Adventure. However, it was a Friday, and incredibly busy. We hardly got to go on any rides and waited forever for the few rides we were able to go on.

But we just loved being together! Oh! And watching the Jedi Training Academy! Because we both love Star Wars!!

Chris was just upset he wasn't allowed to participate. But it was okay because we enjoyed watching the little kids. They were so adorable! And were so great at defeating Darth Vader and Darth Maul. ;)

The next day we had the best meal of our life (information coming soon) and took our flight home.

Overall, it was literally the best trip of my life! I loved every minute of it! I loved being with Chris 24/7! I'm so happy we're finally married! I love being married to him! He is my best friend and the most important person in my whole life! I can't wait to take another trip with him! Especially if it's to Disneyland!! :)

PS, on the day I wore this shirt to Disneyland, I saw at least 20 other women wearing this shirt. Apparently it's really popular. And I totally understand why, $8 at Target? Totally worth it!
