I'm getting out of this dark cold wasteland

I love Utah, but man I hate January and February. They are the worst months with little sunshine, and beatings increase. So it's time to go to sunny California. The girls can't wait to go to Disneyland. We're going to Universal on Monday, which is really to give me a chance to geek out. Then we'll be in Disney and California Adventure on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. I caved and agreed to let Mirinda and Priya where their princess dresses to the park. I really don't like it, but they're so excited to do it I can't say no. I think what bugs me about the whole princess thing is a lot of these kids look at it as an excuse to be brats, and call it being a princess or a diva. It drives me insane.
I've been doing a lot of research on food to eat there, cause that's what I do. When I travel I'm on Trip Advisor looking up the most highly rated restaurants in the area. I've also been on YouTube a lot looking at videos of people eating food, and I've realized that YouTube is like the Mos Eisley Cantina. It's just a wretched hive of scum and villainy. And most of these guys have no business reviewing food anywhere. They don't have any idea what they are talking about. One guy was reviewing the fish and chips at The Three Broomsticks, and talking about how good it was. He then went on to explain how he really knows his fish because he's had tuna. In a tuna fish sandwich. If I had him in the room I would have hit him in the head with a 2X4. I realize that's extreme, but I feel it would be justified. He then went on to say he didn't like swordfish, because swordfish was really important to the plot of Harry Potter.
We did take Mirinda for her 3rd birthday, so she's been there before, but she doesn't remember anything. Priya has never been there, and I'm so excited to see the two of them there. It's going to be a fantastic trip.
As an update on Priya, she's going to have hip surgery in a few months. Her club foot is starting to come back, and they think it's because she isn't walking on that foot correctly. She'll be in a body cast for 5 weeks. It's one of those things that you know you need to do, but you'd do anything to not have to do it. Priya will take it stoically as she always does. I think that kid has more patience with doctors than most adults have. But, it's going to be a long 5 weeks. Hopefully with the hip replacement she'll have an easier time walking, and the club foot won't come back. I didn't know that could happen.
So we're going to have fun now, and deal with the garbage later.
I'll give everyone an update on how the week went when we get back. I'm going to love seeing those girls reactions to everything.
My recommendation for this week? Go to Billy B's Hash House. Seriously if you haven't gone, get there. The donuts are amazing. Get the poutine and the deviled eggs. Just get there.
