Cali Trip 08
Okay where to begin… November 21st my cousin Kelly got married. My family and I left for California on Friday so we could attend the wedding. It was a little awkward at first because we
had not seen this side of the family for about 13 years… Needless to say everything went great until the end. I think my mom really had a great time. The scary part was there was even OLD pictures in the slide show of me and mom from YEARS ago… That was actually kind of neat cause I felt important even though a bit of an outsider for the first bit. Unfortunally, Mom came down with something on Sunday and she was in bed almost all day. I felt absolutely terrible for her. But my dad, sister and I went out to breakfast at the beach. Talk about an amazing view! You got to eat right there and listen and watch the waves… I thought I was in heaven for that hour we sat 
there. Then it was time to go and walk our “5 mile” walk back to the car, it really did seem like a long walk but 5 miles not so sure. :P The breakfast at the Beachcomers was so amazing that we had to bring Mom back when she was feeling better so that is what we decided the minute we caught our breath back in the car. lol Mom actually started feeling a little bit better later that afternoon so we went out. After I took a nap and so did she cause we were both sick… Mine was being a virus and hers being stomach. Getting everyone ready to go out was a process in its self. But eventually we made it out of the hotel and headed to Fa
shion Island. Lets just say I am glad there is no “Fashion Island” in Dallas cause my cash flow would be extinct. Shopping was fun and of course knowing me I fell in love with some more coach things… Go figure… But this time I was strong and didn’t buy any. Yeah, I know you are thinking I probably had a fever and was sick, well I was and did. lol As we drove home we were able to witness the most amazing sunset ever… And I love them so I am a tough sale. =) So of course we get back to the Hotel and my sister and I have to run up to our room on the SEVENTH floor to get pictures. (I know you are thinking that we actually ran, but we used the elevator lol) So we take pictures and the sunset and of us 
with it in the background and finally our parents get to the room… I swear the sun could have rose again in the amount of time it took them. We everyone gets there picture taken with the sun as if it was some famous star. Then we get ready for bed, cause I am exhausted. (Notice I say just me?) But I was sick remember? So the next day we took a drive to LA… OMG I actually got to see the Hollywood sign and take pictures on Rodeo Drive cause that is why everyone goes to California right? Hehe Had a great time walking around and again buying nothing… Oh wait I bought a $6 pair of earrings… Yeah they were 50% off… I am such a bargain shopper. Went and saw some awesome stores… Yeah almost spent $45 of passies for Allison’s new baby… Then reality hit me… lol So
we left kinda early trying to “beat” the LA traffic… Yeah I think you would have had to leave at like 10am to do that…. (before anyone really woke up) So of course Sara and I pass out on our 2 hour drive back to the hotel. Tuesday we really just drove around looking for true souvenir stuff and looking at more beaches. We were heading back home in the evening so really couldn’t get into much. Oh yeah almost forgot and we did eat at the famous In-and-Out Burger joint… Yeah not bad… Ours on the grill are a million times better… Got home and couldn’t have been happier to get here. Missed all of my babies and actually missed work. Crazy I know. I think it was just cause I missed talking to Misty all day long. Well only working 3 days this week… 1/2 day tomorrow, Full day Wednesday, 1/2 day Thursday, OFF Friday… Not a bad schedule. Gotta get ready for the Christmas party.
