Californication

A few weeks ago my big brother Kent asked me if I would be interested in going to California over Spring Break with his girlfriend and him. Needless to say, I was interested. He even told me I could bring a friend (if we could take my lovely new car) with me. So after begging, pleading and annoying all of my friends I finally had one decide to come with me; and it was none other than Mr. Zachary Pitts. Yes you heard me, I took a boy. So the trip was on, five days of Spring Break fun was headed our way.

We left Wednesday afternoon once we were all off of work and headed for the bustling metropolis of Enterprise, Utah, home of Morris and LaRue who are my fantastic grandparents. The ride was pretty typical, music, cat naps and boys begging for back scratches *cough*Zach*cough* But at some point Erika and Zach decided it would be a good idea to add Starbursts to Double-Stuffed Oreos. Gross. They both claim it is delicious, I think they're off their rockers. We spent the night and my grandparents and made our way to Las Vegas!


We looked like fools together, it was St. Patricks Day and we were all decked out in Green. Once we made it to fabulous Las Vegas we ditched the boys at a Casino so Erika and I could go get some shopping in. But only after we made a stop at the iconic Las Vegas sign.


After we spent the afternoon in Vegas we hit the road yet again to make it my sister's house by dinner. We had quite the reception at her house, filled with screaming, giggling little girls, a hyper-active dog named Gunner and a delectable dinner of Chinese food. We filled our night with snacks and playing on the Wii Bowling with a 4 year old. The next morning we took off for Huntington Beach for some more shopping (yes, we have a problem and we can admit it) and lunch.

Eating pictures are always a good choice, right? We spent a fantastic day at the beach, but it was a bit chilly. Erika and I wore shorts and I think we both almost lost our legs to frost bite. But we enjoyed the views and had fun so that's all that matters!

(Don't judge me for the sleeping picture, I realize my body looks disjointed)


Saturday was our super exciting day we went to Six Flags, Magic Mountain and it was AWESOME! A day filled with roller coasters is always a great for me. It was chilly and rainy but it didn't even matter. It was a very entertaining day of people-watching, roller coaster riding and braving nasty public bathrooms. We even got to stay late, because some girl passed out on X2 while we were in line. Three hours in line when it's raining and cold, yay!

Sunday we took the long drive home, I don't have fun pictures because we were literaly in the car for 10 hours straight. But we made it! This Spring Break is probably one of the best I've ever gone on and I'm prepared top it next time!
