California

So I decided to start a blog... Let's see how long this will last me. =]]

(BTW: If anyone understands how to change up the background and such, PLEASE help me out! I somehow can't seem to figure out myself...)

I have not been out of this state for about four years! Needless to say, I needed to get away from this heat and desert scene... A trip to California was imperative.

It all started with a long 12 to 9:30 shift with that infamous person! Man did the night drag on and I had other plans! Luckily with this guy, it hit 9 on the dot and the gate was down and we were out by nine oh three.

I then drove my way to Gilbert to pick up Ashleigh. I still had a lot of packing to do (procrastinate much?). By the time I was done, we had about four hours to kill before we hit the road. In the end we got about an hour nap. Which in the end called for an EXTREMELY long day, to where we didn't even eat till about 6PM the next night.

I had so much fun and it was much needed! The first day we went to Hollywood and visited Madame Tussauds Wax Musuem (Thank You Lindsey for the $5.00 coupon!). I got to hang with some cool friends such as Julia Roberts, Justin Timberlake, Spiderman, Tony Hawk, Audrey Hepburn, Britney Spears, Zac Efron and Robert Pattinson. By the end of the night, all I wanted was my Chipotle Burrito and to watch the first episode of Big Brother!! (Then go spend sometime in the hot tub and pass out!!)


The next two days were spent at Disneyland! So much fun!! No matter what, I think it is the Happiest Place on Earth. BUT it is also the one place on earth that can make you pass out by the end of the night! I think my most favorite-st ride was Hollywood's Tower of Terror. No matter how hard I try not to scream, I screamed. And just to let you guys know... I'm swearer not a screamer (said by this annoying little girl in line). But seriously you guys, I don't scream on rides except for that one. What was the most awesome part, was cutting most of the lines for only being two of us! The last ride we rode (and got to cut in line) was Space Mountain. And let me tell you... it was the most quietest experience on a roller coaster I HAVE EVER BEEN ON! I couldn't let that happen, so I just started screaming obnoxiously! Once I saw the picture, I felt completely terrible cause. This family took their daughter on it because she wanted to. How do I know? Cause the parents looked terrified, they both had their eyes closed like they may have an anxiety attack.

Our last full day in California, we drove down to San Diego. I was a bit sad. I know it's a great vacation spot but I don't think I enjoyed it very much. I think it has a lot to do with we didn't even spend a whole day there to venture out. We didn't even go to the beach, well we did for like five minutes at night but that doesn't count! Oh!! The worst part of the night is... wait for it... I broke my phone! (Shocker there) Water damage. Although I didn't use my phone much on vacation, I felt like apart of me was missing (sad to say).

Needless to say, the drive home on the I8, was long and unnecessary. There were 3 things I didn't want to come home to: the heat, Arizona Drivers and all the construction. Guess what, I hit almost all three "don'ts" at the same time...

Okay, so this is getting kind of long I guess (and pretty late). So I guess I'll wrap it up for now and possibly write more tomorrow...
