Balboa Conquests

Adam and I took a day trip to Balboa Island for some peaceful seaside beach walking and some rowdy arcade games. In a head-to-head duel, I showed Adam a thing or two about Skee Ball and triumphantly claimed my Fun Dip prize. It's all in the wrist.
In an effort to best my ball rolling skills, Adam challenged me to Roll Down. Unfortunately for Adam, I did not take pity. Let's just say gravity got the better of him in our second extreme arcading championship. Together we picked out the world's smallest gorilla for our prize. Adam wasn't down for long before his name was up on a street corner!
We finished up our sunny day trip with a walk around town. Adam got a Balboa Bar (chocolate covered ice cream), while I couldn't pass up a frozen banana (even if George Michael Bluth wasn't there to sell it to me). We also passed through a saltwater taffy store on the way back to the car. Have I told you about my sweet tooth?

Did you happen to see Job or Tobias? Sorry you didn't see a Bubba Boulevard street sign.

Oh my god, I didn't know you were a fan. We went to the Banana Stand...there is always money in the banana stand! This whole area is littered with Arrested Development related stuff.

Didn't Gob burn down the banana stand?? It's the final countdown!

Not only am I a big fan of Arrested Development,I own all the seasons on DVD. (Not buying them would have been "a huge mistake.")
