So after we left the Queen Mary, we went to Berth 55, a dive that Yelp had highly rated. It was pretty heavy on the dive. I wasn't impressed, and my friend (who hails from a state that actually has coastline) was downright disappointed.

Even the little toy machine didn't dispense a good prize! It was like a fake box of birthday candles, nothing inside, but it was an eraser, I think. (Not sure what I expected for a quarter, in fairness.)

Meh.

We had some time to kill so we went to the El Dorado Nature Center, a nice little preserve near the Long Beach airport.
They had signs warning squirrels not to eat human food. What clever squirrels they must have!

"Oh! This reminds me of Japan!"

Then we picked up my mom from the airport. She was famished too, even though it wasn't quite dinner time, so In-N-Out Burger! I got my first Animal Style burger. Shellie May thinks they should make bear-style burgers...

Then off to our next room! This was a lovely place with an obstructed ocean view (it's right past those buildings).

An easy walk to the beach!

Then my friend and I went on a grocery/dessert run and snagged some cupcakes. Mmmmm cupcakes.
