California Fun

Well, I loved California! My two roommates and I had so much fun and were very blessed the whole trip. Here is a summary of each day and all the fun we had!

Wednesday Night: We left school and headed to the airport and flew into LAX at about midnight.

Thursday: We woke up early and rode with Bumpy to the MGM building and took a tour of his work. While we waited for T* sister we hang out on the 32nd floor balcony and did some shopping in the mall next door. I fell in love with H&M and I cannot wait to take a little shopping trip there when I get the chance. After T* sister picked us up we went and had lunch with their great aunt who took us to a fancy yacht club for lunch. There we saw Kurt Russel and tried escargot (not great, but not horrible either)! After lunch, we got our rental car which was paid for by T* great aunt (such a blessing!) and drove to our free movie screening of American Reunion. It was hilarious and I would not mind paying to see it again!We also did a little shopping before the movie and I found my formal dress for $8. Can you say deal? Finally we called it a day and headed back home to Orange county around 11 p.m.


Friday: We drove to T* sisters house and spent the afternoon walking down Hollywood Boulevard looking at all the stars. M* and I got lost while looking at the stars on the street and had to wait for T* and her sister to come find us. We also did some shopping in the morning and I bought some cute stuff! We picked up T* nephew and headed to dinner at Cheesecake factory since I had never eaten there before. Afterwards we stayed in L.A. for the night and had an interesting evening with two dogs wanting to cuddle all night!

Saturday: The majority was spent at Universal studies which was FREE!! We got to ride a bunch of rides and do an awesome studio tour that looked at set used in tons of movies such as: Jaws, War of the Worlds, and the set for Desperate Housewives which was closed set since they were filming (super exciting). Afterwards, we had a FREE dinner at Hard Rock Cafe and it was delicious! Then we went to see the Lorax which is an adorable movie.

Sunday: We went to Santa Monica and Venice Beach. All of us rented bikes and rode from Santa Monica to Venice and back. Then we walked to Venice to look at the cool shops along the beach and grabbed some ice cream. On the way back, M* was interviewed for a documentary which was awesome! We had dinner at a cute Mexican restaurant and then I crashed at 10 that night because I was so exhausted

Monday: Nanie took us to Huntington beach and to lunch at Ruby's Diner which had the best milk shakes. We did some window shopping and then went back home to have a delicious spaghetti dinner. Ended the night getting my nose pierced! I did not pass out and I did not bleed, but I did upset the parents (which I think everything is good now?!).

Tuesday: Our last day in California! We had breakfast by the ocean and checked out some cool yachts. Then we went back to Hollywood Boulevard to do a Hollywood Home Tour. We saw where Michael Jackson died, where Jennifer Gardner and Ben Affleck live, and tons of other people. We also got to see the set up for the premiere of 21 Jump Street (I saw the movie on Friday and it was hilarious! Go see it!). Had dinner at Fudrucker's and saw another FREE movie screening for a movie called Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp in it. It was also a very good movie and in a huge theater!

Wednesday: We said goodbye to Nanie and Bumpy and headed to the airport. I saw Jennifer Hudson in security while we were waiting and we ended up getting a picture with her!


It was an awesome trip overall filled with so many awesome memories with T* and M*.
