holy smokes. did that really happen? did our parents really let us road trip to california BY OURSELVES?? yes. it happened. and it was SO wonderful. Me, Callie, Sydnee, and Macey had quite the time in the ol CA. Just thinking about it makes me laugh, so many funny things. Wednesday we got up and drove there real early, not to mention we would've been on the road much earlier had sydnee not slept through her alarm and had we not had to go throw literal rocks at her literal window. yeah, that happened. i mean, it wasn't all that romantic, but it'll do. We just jammed the entire 6 hours or so. we went straight to the beach and oh was it ever so lovely. we spent the whole day there, even the night. we watched the most perfect sunset from the pier and then chilled on one of the lifeguard posts in the misty air right up next to the tide, and just took it all in. There is just something about the ocean and your best friends all in the same place together, that is perfect. We hit up the manhattan beach creamery several times. it was fine, really. We went to six flags one day. oh my. what a day to say the least. 3 RIDES. 8 HOURS AND 3 RIDES. so lets do the math on that one. hmm...we averaged about one ride every 2 and 1/2 hours...not even. the lines were insane, and not to mention it was one hundo outside with like 300% humidity. so as you can imagine, all we did was complain the entire day about how hot, how tired, and how pissed off we were. it was so funny. so so funny. 3 RIDES. the people around us in the lines were probably so annoyed with us, because we were acting ridiculous. HAHAHAHAAH im just sitting here dying because, well...i guess you just had to be there. i wont even say anything about the food part...cause that is a whole other story. BUT it was fun, i mean the 3 rides we rode were way sick. it was REALLY hard to pick our top three. so then, naturally, we had to redeem ourselves of the "awesome" day we had...so naturally we went to the ocean at night, and naturally we got in, "naturally" i don't know if you are catching my drift or not, but it was a thrill to say the least. plus it was on my bucket list. SO CHECK. Friday we just spent the entire day at the beach, played soccer, volleyball, boogie boarded, watched some highly attractive surfers do there thing, we body surfed and laid out. oh and how could i forget the part where i lose my phone. so im just out there in the water recording my friends ya know, then all of a sudden out of nowhere i get WORKED by an unexpected wave. it was one of those ones that just thrashes you every which way right? so yeah, as you can imagine my phone gets launched from my hand and all he*k broke loose. not really but kinda. i started to freak the freak. we looked for it for a solid 30 minutes when we realized there was absolutely no way we were going to find the dang thing. but HEY! it was in a waterproof case, so thats good. (i secretly kept searching for it the whole rest of the trip hoping that some miracle would happen) we went shopping and to a movie that night, which was definitely a blast. So then saturday rolls around, which was callies 18th birthday. HOLLA ATCHA GURL. so operation 'find callie a birthday kiss' was in action the entire day. with absolutely no luck at all. it was a failure. but we tried. we really did. sorry callie. maybe next year!;) we went to this way sweet place for her birthday dinner, she scored a free meal which is wayyyyy better than a birthday kiss if you ask me. am i right or am i right? sunday we went to church and headed back home. it was really sad actually, we didnt want to leave. We were just starting to feel like we were real life californians...hahahahaha...i dont think any of us washed our hair once. which is the best. anyway, we made some dang good memories, and i love my friends. it was a great time to say the least.
