Anaheim trip day 6 of 7. Breakfast buffet with Patrick at Agio, similar to yesterday except I ate a little more today and so they charged us two full meals. Back in the room we prepped for today's event. Patrick and I rode Lyft to the Buddhist Memorial Complex at Rose Hills Mortuary. We waited outside during the chanting ceremony, then joined during the walk to the place the urn in its location next to (part of) Dad's urn. We all visited Amah's resting place nearby. Afterwards we held a luncheon for about 27 persons at NBC Seafood Restaurant. Joey and Jeanne gave us a ride there. The food and service at NBC were both excellent. I played a slideshow of images from my iPad Air. Apple's Photos app didn't let us loop it or control the amount of time each image showed, so after a while I simply left it on one image and got up to change it now and then. There was particular interest in one wedding photo with many people in it. Lani and Uncle Bernard said some words at various times to give the moment meaning. Afterwards Joey and Jeanne gave Patrick and me a lift to our hotel with a short stop at Joey's mom's place to drop off a few things. Rested in the room. For a quick dinner within walking distance we looked inside Denny's then Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles before deciding on Carl's Jr.: bbq chicken combo with waffle fries and chocolate shake for Patrick, western bacon combo with fries and lemonade for me. I'll never forget the children who were permitted to crawl on the floor on their stomachs underneath rows of barstools while playing. Walked back to the hotel, stopping at the convenience store in the hotel for bottled water. We watched the last hour or so of Captain America: The Winter Soldier on FX with four-minute commercials. Patrick fell asleep while watching. I spent an hour completing a survey about our Disneyland visit. Their survey asked if we would return within the year, and I said no; they have no idea that I never plan to return after our two-day visit. What an awful and disappointing visit. I went to bed soon after.
