I Love LA: Day Three of Spring Break!

Wednesday was awesome. It had both and awesome beginning and an awesome ending!

To begin the day, I ran on the beach and then Marla and I found beach trash...or treasures the waves bring onto shore. Things like sand dollars and shells.

We then headed into Hollywood and saw the Chinese Theatre, The Walk of Fame, The Hollywood Sign, The Kodak Theatre and we even drove down Rodeo Drive. Fancy!

Then to end the day we went out to Anaheim to catch an Angel's game. That makes five ballparks that I have visited. (My quest is to hit all of them in my lifetime!) It was a blast. I sure do love baseball and now that it has started again...the hope of summer is again here!

We are now off to San Diego and more adventures! Yipee!!!

Spring Break: Day Two

Today we drove from Vegas to Los Angeles. I do have to say that LA drivers are CRAZY!!! I also have to say that a GPS's directions can sometimes be really stupid. Like when it would say: "Stay in left lane, then exit right!" SERIOUSLY? How is that even possible? So, we got a little tense tonight while getting to The Santa Monica Pier but we made it, nevertheless.

We did stop in Baker, CA so we could see the World's Largest Thermometer. That was life changing but not as life changing as the Alien Fresh Jerky Store. I really don't know if the jerky was made out of Aliens or if the Aliens made the jerky. Who knows?

The lookout from our room here in LA is awesome. The pictures really don't do it justice as is often the case with pictures. There is a really cool Chinese garden right out our window that is very relaxing. You can hear the fountains through our balcony window. (That is much more relaxing than the smell of weed that we keep smelling through our balcony window...that just irritates me!)

We walked around the pier and then had dinner at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Co. It was delicious. I am very full still.

Spring Break pretty much rocks! I LOVE it!!!

Spring Break 2010: Day One

Vegas was fun. We had a great hotel because we are pretty much spoiled. We ate at The Hard Rock Cafe with my friend, Alyssa. We then went to the Bellagio and enjoyed the fountains and garden.

This morning we went to brunch with my friend, Lesley. She has awesome hookups and we did not have to stand in line for the buffet at Harrah's and even went in via the VIP doors. It was a blast in Vegas as always. Enjoy the pics!

Ah....a sigh of relief.

Spring Break, Spring Break, Everybody, Everywhere....Spring Break, Spring Break......

Okay, so maybe not everybody, everywhere is on Spring Break, but I think you all should be! I hereby give you permission to take the next week off of work.

I am very tired. I should be sleeping but here I sit on my couch. There really isn't anything to watch on my DVR so I have been watching Youtube videos for the past forty-five minutes. I would have put a movie in but I was distracted by my iPhone shopping. If you know anybody who has a 32 gig iPhone(preferably jailbroken) they want to sell for a reasonable price, let me know. I have been shopping for one lately. It is stressful! It is also crazy and you probably have no interest in my iPhone quest.

The week went really fast and I don't remember a thing that happened that was exciting. That is kinda weird.

Today, I ate a delicious cheeseburger and played a fun few games of racquetball. Fantastic Friday.

Tomorrow, I will drive up to Manila, Utah. It will be a blast o' matic. That really made no sense.

Sunday, I will pick up Marla from the airport and Monday we will head off to California. It will be an utter blast. I bet you are jealous of me. I am jealous of myself.

Well, have a fantastic day!

Sue Safely Flies Home...

Sue is in the yellow shirt in the photo. She is a sweetheart. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my mother? Well I do! She is one of the kindest and most thoughtful people that I know. It was a treat to have her here with me the past few days. The time went much too fast but we did cram in a lot in the short time we had...and as I told her today, we really have less than two months until we see each other again anyway! :)

Yesterday, we both attended Challenge Day at our school. Check out their website. It was an awesome day and I was so excited to see Rich and Yvonne again(the founders of Challenge Day). They were the actual leaders at our school and it was something special. My mom and I also were able to go to dinner with the two of them and that was even more of a treat. The love those two people show and express is awesome and actually leaves me without words. I love their work and hope to do better at being a change in my little part of the world.

I better get to bed. You are all nice and I hope you are having an excellent day!
