The Friday after Thanksgiving we decided to go to Los Angeles for a Warrior foosball tournament. It was only a 4 to 5 hour drive, and Zorah would be able to reunite however briefly with the kids she met at LA Foosclub when we lived in Burbank. So that morning we booked our room, packed up, and headed out.
Zorah has been on a pretty relaxed schedule for a while now. She usually wakes up anywhere between 8 and 9:30 am and is ready for sleep by 10:30 pm at the latest. A foosball tournament schedule is a little different though.
Long story short, she was up until 1am on Sunday and 2 or 3 am Monday. She stayed up playing with the other kids whose parents were also still in events. When they left she amused herself reading a book of fairy tales from around the world.
It's Wednesday now, and her schedule is still a little off, but does it matter? No. I think we'll be back at 10:30 bedtime tonight, but we had all of Monday, Tuesday, and today to adjust back to normal and catch up on sleep. I don't know how the kids who are in school manage it.
So what benefit did she get from going to a foosball tournament? Well, she got to play with old friends, make new ones, and see Los Angeles again. And she loves hotels. We didn't stay in the hotel the whole time. Saturday afternoon we had a nice brunch in Marina del Rey at a new restaurant called The Organic Panificio. As you may guess, it tries to serve food with as many organic ingredients as possible. It tasted good. Here is Zorah enjoying her pancakes, which she decorated with fresh organic strawberries.
Zorah says: "I liked my trip to LA because I liked the fruity face I made. I read a book. I played tag with my friends. That's all I want to say."
I keep hoping that the more I do this, the more she'll want to say, but I doubt it. LOL.
