Ca-li-fornia girls...

I'm sick of Facebook. Blog is better. I'm gonna start posting my new pictures on blog instead. This is more fun anyways. This post will give you a tiny taste of the end of summer California Adventure I have been talking about for months. My sister Aimee let my best friends and I stay at her loverly house in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. When we showed up to her house my niece Brinley was singing, "California Gurlz" by Katy Perry at the top of her lungs in the shower. It was an awesome kick off to an awesome trip. Thanks to Aimee's brilliant idea's we were NEVER bored and we were very busy the whole time.



DAY 1: Huntington Beach
Not to brag or anything, but I found the most DYNAMITE parking spot behind the shops (free parking, may I add, AND I parallel parked the best I have ever parallel parked in my whole life). We walked around the shops and bought a few little trinkets (mostly at Forever XXI) and then went and bummed out at the beach. It was fantastic.



We went for a little swim in the beach and met a new friend who played soccer at Texas A&M. He was staying at the Hyatt for a wedding he was going to and invited us to come swimming with him and some friends at the Hyatt. Normally I would never have gone but #1 I've always wanted to go to that Hotel, and #2 I saw a really good looking worker there while driving by it at the beginning of the day. What else were we supposed to do? Turn down the offer? OH HECK NO! We decided to use this guy and spend the rest of the day swimming at the Hyatt (which was totally beautiful). This is Adam, our new beach friend/photographer/guy we used to swim at the Hyatt.



The Hyatt:




DAY 2: Chinatown, Olvera Street, Hollywood, Rodeo Drive, and looking at the massive houses driving through Bel-Air and Beverly Hills. May I add that I THOUGHT there were rich people in AZ? These houses were FILTHY. They were so dang huge I felt like a reject.

Yes we bought cute Best Friend bracelets on Olvera Street.


Chinatown:


I am real excited about this one: Me and the Hollywood sign. YES!


We had dinner reservations so we drove around Sunset Blvd for something to do and we saw a 711 and a Rock and Roll Cupcakes. Slurpee's and delicious cupcakes were a VERY good mix before a big dinner. The flavors were Cookies and Cream, Red Velvet, and a chocolate one with Heath Bar. YUM.



Aimee told us of this sweet restaurant that she went to called Saddle Ranch Chop House. One of THE COOLEST Bar&Grill places I've ever been to. There was a Bull in the middle of the floor and people would go ride on it. That's me wishing that I rode on it. Being a ballet major and having already had tons of bad luck in the past, I decided riding the bull would not be a wise decision.





They had massive Dessert trays and appetizers. We got an appetizer and a dessert tray to share. My favorite part about the Appetizer was the sweet potatoe fries and the marshmallow dip. Sounds interesting and gross but I was in heaven.



Dessert was smores (Is that not the greatest idea ever invented?) They give you a tray, and outside where fire pits that you went to to go roast your mallows on. They even give you caramel and chocolate dips!





DAY 3: 1/2 shopping 1/2 Laguna Beach day.
We went to the spectrum and did some shopping at H&M and Nordy's, ate lunch and headed to Laguna beach!! It was nice and relaxing there. We lost track of time and I was almost positive I would have a ticket on my car but LUCKILY when we got back we had 1 minute left on the parking meter!! WEW!





Day 4: Aliso Beach/Beach Bonfire

We are the most giggly girls EVER. I laugh so hard when I am with them!


My most favorite activity in California is having a bonfire on the beach. I love it love it love it. We roasted hot dogs and mallows with my sister and her family and it is ALWAYS so fun to do. Did I mention that I LOVE beach bonfire's? Well, I do.



Day 5: Drive home (insert sad face). At least we got good treats and good music!






SEE YOU NEXT SUMMER CALIFORNIA!!!
