California!

I am officially in California for a week, I got in yesterday at 2:30ish. On the plane I rode with a girl who goes to community college in Orange County and a little girl in the second grade that was flying by herself. Their company on the plane made for a quick ride, turns out they were both visiting their grandparents in Arizona and the girl my age was very close to us, her grandparents live in Mesa. She goes back in a week to continue to take care of her grandpa who has esophageal cancer, even though I don’t know her well and did not get her name, please pray for her and her family, as they do not have much time left with him. When I got to the airport I was greeted by grandma and grandpa Cake at the luggage belt. I am stoked for this trip well because there are no plans and I am just grateful to be here!! So the first day, after the airport we went straight to Roger’s Gardens, I have been here one before and loved it, so of course me being plant loving girl, I walked around looking at the plants I knew and learning more plants! Grandpa and Grandma thought I was crazy for knowing so many plants, but I just can’t help it, I retain plants, about the only thing I can remember well, as for geography (not so much retaining) as they have learned this morning. After Rogers Garden we went out to Tommy Bahamas restaurant where I had a delicious Mango-Mustard Chicken! People that pay $128 for a shirt are CRAZY! Tommy Bahamas well to say the least people that buy clothes from there are loaded and need to spend their money elsewhere. Once we got back, we watched Revenge of the Bridesmaids’ on ABC Family; they both thought it was silly but funny. Day 1-Complete and eventful!! And it’s Monday!!!! All three of us went to the art show in Laguna, I had so much fun, it was fabulous, I had the chance to talk to two artists one was a ceramic artists but what was unique about him was that he added crystal to his designs which made it completely gorgeous. The second one I talked to was an artist that combines her work with another one, it was astonishing to find that they do their work separate and then eventually bring all their pieces together and find ones that match, put them together build frames and write stories for each picture. Oh and I forgot to mention, we were walking into the art show and I cannot remember what happened but Grandpa said WTF….oh my lanta I thought I was going to die laughing!! After that we went and looked at beautiful houses in Laguna and Newport! Man would I love to live in some of those house (only if I was born with a bajillion dollars-not quite but I guess I will live) Now if I invent something maybe I can live there….hmmmm….one day! Day two- Artsy! Tuesday Grandma and I decided to go shopping after Grandpa’s eye doctor appointment. I went with them to Grandpa’s eye appointment and started reading a book called Life After School. Explained. What a fantastic book, I read about half already! So we went shopping and I found a couple new tops, I especially like a store called Cotton On, I got a tank top for $2 and a long sleeve shirt for $5. Then we played a mean round of cards, it went from Grandpa winning to me winning to Grandma winning, we all kept trying to beat the other one out even though we kept giving the other person the perfect cards to finish their phase. We had to go to bed after our 10 phases because Grandma beat us to bad :) Day three-Tiring but fun! :) Wednesday I unfortunately woke up with the worst headache ever so I went back to bed till noon; it turned out to be a relaxing day! I watched the Young Victoria with grandma while Grandpa was out shopping (he brought home delicious chicken and lemon meringue pie for dinner) and then all three of us watched Ben Stiller in Greenburg-worst movie ever-DO NOT watch!!! And Grandma and I went and got our nails done, I needed to get out of the house and it was a fun girl thing to do while grandpa was shopping! Day 4- Head pounding day! The next day, I got all packed and went to breakfast with them; I got a mushroom, onion, and spinach crepe, who knew that it was going to be enormous!!!! After that we went to the Orange County Fair, all I have to say is that place is so much more legit than the Maricopa county fair! I saw real peanuts growing!! I looked at all the livestock, they had a huge demonstration garden for “educational purposes”, flower arrangements (of course), craft section- man there are some talented people in CA, and went in the Ice Museum!BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR…………….. After that they took me to Aunt Pattie’s house. It was great to see everyone and to meet Baby Ava, she is so adorable! Day 5- “I miss FFA” I spent the night with them because the next morning Chris, Ryan, and Emily picked me up to go to Six Flags-Magic Mountain. So Chris and Ryan are two peas in a pod, when we got there and pulled up to the parking lady, she says “Good Morning, welcome to six flags” Ryan replies, “Good morning, welcome to our car!” It was so hilarious, all of us were laughing so hard! So then we get up to the gate, go through, Chris grabs a map, opens it up and proceeds to say “Where is the we are here sticker, this was in the first 30 minutes of arriving, you can imagine how the whole day went……FUNNY! We got there at 10:30 when it opened and left at 10:00 when it closed…..LONG DAY!! The first ride I went on was called X2 to say the least I thought I was going to die, but by the end of the day I actually started enjoying myself. My favorite ride was called Tatsu and you were on your stomach and flying, it was incredible at night.
When we left we were all completely exhausted…..oh and I forgot sopping wet because I made them go on a water ride…WHOOPS!!

Day 6- Overcoming my fears!! So the next morning, what an adventurous day, we woke up and decided to go to the beach. We thought Balboa Island would be fantastic, little did we know that EVERYONE in California had the same idea, we drove around for 3 hours to look for parking!! By that time, we were tired of being in the car so we just went to Newport Beach :) Chris and Ryan boogie boarded all day while Emily and I laid out to soak up some sun-just to clarify we are still very very white!!! But we enjoyed lying out and not dying of heat exhaustion. We even fell asleep for a while and then the boys decided to look for sand crabs. Who knew that would entertain Chris for a couple hours! That night we went to Wahoo’s for dinner and then went and saw the movie SALT. Day 7- I love the weather in California!! :)

Last day, well kind of, it was suppose to be but we ended up meeting Niane, Nileah, and Lauren at the mall, they can be so convincing- we stayed another night with them!! We went to the beach, Huntington this time, it was freezing, Chris and Nileah went swimming which was absolutely adorable. He would pick her up every time a wave would come and all you would hear is a scream and then giggle. Christopher won’t admit it but he loves Nileah to death, and personally I think she has him wrapped around her little finger.

Lauren and Chris built Nileah a hole to sit in and they also found more sand crabs. Then back to Aunt Pattie’s!! Day 8- Still not ready to leave!! The next morning we all woke up to pack and get ready to go home :) We met Rikki and Garth for breakfast before we headed out, we made really good time, I drove Kera’s car most of the way home because Niane was exhausted….I love Kera’s car (I think I want a car, 1st reason- BETTER gas mileage and 2nd-look to reason 1!!)

Day 9- Long Drive to come back to the scorching heat!!!!
