I won't bore you with the details about the lovely old Victorian mansion turned bed and breakfast we stayed in, or how we toured the artsy shops in the town and visited the Bisbee Mining History Museum. There are much more interesting things of which to speak...
HUGE things happened for me on this trip. First, I rolled over for the first time in our hotel room. Mommy freaked. It was hillarious.
But her freak out to that paled in comparison to how bad she freaked when I all of the sudden started sucking my two fingers. You see, when Mommy was little, apparently she sucked her first two fingers and played with her bellybutton instead of sucking her thumb. It was her claim to fame...it almost defined her as a person. And now, the jury's been out as to whether HER kids would pick up that quirky little trait. Well...guess what....(there are pictures to prove it).
In other news, I saw the most AMAZING thing in Bisbee. There was this guy who had this dog, and he trained his cat to sit on his dog's back and walk around town. Amazing, right? That's not even the half of it. The guy also trained his two mice to sit on his cat's back while the cat was balancing on the dog! They all walk around Bisbee in this giant pyramid of dog, cat, and mouse. I have pictures to prove THAT one, too.
I would also like to add that, much to Mommy's delight, I peed on Daddy twice while we were walking around Bisbee. She thought that was hillarious.
LaStly, I would like to tell a little tale of how different and ridiculous my mom and dad are. Perhaps it will incite a little sympathy for my home situation and what I have to deal with as I'm growing up with these two whackos.
As a testament to how DIFFERENT my parents are, I would like to review the things they each had to eat while we were on our vacation:
For breakfast, which was cooked for us at the B&B where we stayed, Mommy had crepes filled with scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, and cheese & broccoli quiche. Daddy had pancakes.
For lunch, at this cute little restaurant in town, Mommy had a Mediterranean pizza with pesto, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives, and feta with a Greek salad. Daddy and a cheeseburger.
For dinner, when we swung through Tucson, we went to Mommy's favorite sushi restaurant that she had been craving since she was pregnant with me. Mommy had a Las Vegas roll: shrimp, crab, eel, cream cheese, avodado, masago (some kind of sea creature's eggs) all wrapped up in seaweed and fried in tempura batter. Daddy had a piece of chicken on plain white rice.
What on EARTH will become of me, coming from these two polar opposites?!
By the way, I posted the pictures we had from our trip to Bisbee, but if you want to see footage of the town or the sights we saw, you're out of luck. The only pictures there are of me sucking my two fingers, and a bunch of close-ups Mommy took of my face while we were driving back to Phoenix. What a tool...
