okay, so the trip started at 2am-ish on Thursday. for some reason we thought it was a good idea to leave then....in the middle of a blizzard. We ended up driving 7 hours in the blizzard going 35mph through the state of Utah. I only remember stopping a lot, Kendall yelling "I'M ON THE ROAD!!" when ever we hit the rumble guard, and the beginnings of the mountain men. After escaping the mountain men of Utah, the rest of the drive was kind of a blur. We arrived in L.A. and got to the hotel sometime in the late afternoon. pretty sure we all just collapsed for a little bit. Sarah had to go see some family and Raelee and Kendall went out to explore around the hotel. for dinner we went to In n Out burger. I LOVE IN N OUT!!! its greasy and fatty, but oh so good! we had it at least three times. then we went to Sarah's future inlaws house to have a little birthday celebration for Sarah.
Day 2! Disneyland Day!! i must say i was pretty excited for this day since i've never been to disneyland. i didnt get to go on all the rides i wanted to, but i did discover my new favorite roller coaster of all time. California Screamin' is awesome!! i got to go on it twice. some other fun ones were space mountain, hollywood tower of terror, and the madderhorn. By the end of the day we were all tired and grumpy. (we were there from 8am-12 midnight)
Day 3! that was the beach day. after all of us sleeping in, we eventually made our way to the beach with Sarah's friend Evan. i found some shells and Raelee found a sand dollar, but it broke. that night we went to go drive around L.A. and Hollywood. then went to Universal City Walk. it was like times square with all the lights and noises.
Day 4! not as exciting since it was Sunday. went to church and then had real food for once. then we drove out to go see the Watchers. its these people that come out if you park outside their house. they have a video camera set up in their windows. pretty sure thats the weirdest thing I've seen.
Day 5! the drive home took almost as long as getting there, just because we didn't want to go back. we stopped at Calico for about 2 hours, and many other stops.

I LOVE THE BEACH!
this beach had tide pools and surfers
the Ghost Town
these two meet some of the strangest people on this trip
i could not get out of that chair
trying to get out of the mystery shack
As soon as i get more pictures I'll put them up.
side note: after i posted this i noticed little boxes and they were links to Kendall's facebook from when i was attempting to use those but did not work out. but the links work! so there are some from Disneyland.

I am so glad you had so much fun! The beach pictures are so pretty. I am only 6 hours from San Diego now - I am excited to go and see the beach.
Please explain further what the watchers are...
And when you come visit I will take you to In N Out!
there's in n out in phoenix??
The Watchers are these people who dont leave their house and just watch their door for people. doesnt matter what time of day, they'll come out and watch you or sometimes run after you. they are a little crazy. its one of those things that you have to see it to believe it.
how did you know about them?
sarah knew about them and had done it before and wanted to take us. we went at like midnight. she was taunting them by yelling out the window. we took some pictures but they werent very good. but again, as soon as i get them i'll put them up.
i should of put these details in the blog, but i think it was 3am when i posted it.
Fun times! I loved road trips with my roommates! We did Vegas Baby!
too long.
glad you had fun, though. Now you can focus on getting A's in school.
(did I just sound like mom? I feel like I just sounded a little like mom!)
