CALIFORNIA

Road trip! A bunch of friends and I all went to California last week for Spring Break. It was such a BLAST! I've never been on a trip with a huge group of friends and I was super excited. I was not disappointed. We spent a good 6 days together and totally rocked it.

We drove down Monday, then spent the next 2 and 1/2 days at Disneyland & California Adventure. There were 7 of us total and then one day we met up with another 3 friends in Disneyland. The park was open until midnight and we took full advantage. Unfortunately I couldn't avoid getting wet, in fact I got the worst wherever I sat, but Splash Mtn. and Grizzly River Run are well worth it! I even convinced most of them to go on the kiddie rides with me! They are my favorite! Peter Pan, Casey Jr. Circus Train, and even Autopia. I LOVE Autopia....no one else does. Haha! That didn't stop me! We even rode the teacups! Well, some of us.....the brave ones.

Thursday afternoon we went to Newport Beach to enjoy some fun in the sun. Abbey and I threw the football back and forth for a bit. I even got up to my shoulders wet and boy was it freezing! Well worth it.

We then went to the Angles vs. Twins baseball game that night. We had good seats too (at my request), 5th row behing 3rd base. Man, I LOVE baseball games! The atmosphere is awesome. You get the baseball, the crowd, the liveliness, and the crazy people around you. There was a Twins dude right in front of us drinking it up and egging on the crowd with boos and popcorn throwing. Entertaining to say the least. My favorite parts of baseball - soaking up the sun, eating sunflower seeds, and best of all...7th inning stretch!

We drove to San Diego that night and were originally going to go to the zoo, but we were all bombed from walking around Disneyland. So we decidced to take it easy.....sleep inn, pound a big breakfast at Denny's, stop at the temple, and spend the rest of the day at the beach. We were at La Jolla and ended up playing beach volleyball for 2-3 hours with UCSD college students. We wasted 'em! Haha! It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, the clouds came in and we didn't get to stay for as long as I wanted.

Let me just say, I LOVE San Diego. Last time I was there, about 8 years ago, I remember it being flat and deserty. But it's totally not. It was gorgeous! Lots of hills and very green. I'm in love. And that may not be the only reason why :) See Facebook for more pictures!
