I have an awesome bucket list and, every now and then, I get to check something off of it. Pirates Dinner Adventure in Buena Park was on the list and on Saturday, I got to cross it off! Scott had gone for his nephew's birthday a couple of years ago, but fortunately, it was a different show this time around. When we first got there, we checked in and got our seat assignment and, as we entered the building, they took a picture of us. There was a ship's wheel that we stood by and then there was a little dragon cracking out of an egg. Neither of us knew at the time that the show we were seeing was called, "Rise of the Sea Dragon" and we were both so confused about why there was a funky looking dragon attached to the wheel. We were laughing a little bit about it, but posed and smiled behind the wheel anyways. Then, the lady taking the picture said, "I need you to both put your hand on the dragon's egg." It seemed SO random to us and we both totally lost it. Laughing SO hard! Scott pulled it together at the last minute to smile for the picture, but I was clearly still laughing! haha! We decided, however, that it was a pretty good picture still and ended up buying it!
For your viewing pleasure, here we are with the dragon's egg! Haha!
It wasn't until the salesperson approached us with our picture that she pointed out that the show was about a dragon. Then it all made sense to us! ;)
For the next hour and a half, we just walked around the building, indulging on complimentary appetizers, marveling at a very tall man (like taller than anyone either of us had ever seen), and just having a good time together. Naturally, there had to be a few selfies to document my bucket list achievement:
We were on the purple team!
The show was awesome and alot of fun to see! Dinner was good, but I have trouble eating chicken off the bones, so when an entire half chicken was placed on my table, I realized I would be going home a bit hungry and wished that I had ordered the kabobs instead. BUT live and learn! It was still an awesome night! Plus, it ended with brownies a la mode, which made up for the chicken situation. ;) By the way, if you are celebrating your kid's birthday, I highly recommend this show. All of the birthday kids got to go up on the ship and also participate in the show, which I thought was pretty cool! After the show, we asked our server to take a picture for us and she asked if we wanted a picture with our pirate! Ummmm...YES!!! So, we went down by the ship and got a picture with the purple pirate, whom we had been rooting for all night.
In the show we saw, the purple pirate is the dumb one and does a whole bunch of stupid stuff the whole time, so that awesome look on his face is entirely appropriate! After this, they kicked everyone out and, I'm proud to say that we didn't get lost driving to or from the show! That's quite an accomplishment for the two of us! It was such a fun night and I'm definitely glad to have gotten the chance to go!
