I just got back from California!! It was FANTASTIC. We left Thursday night and drove through the night. We stayed with a member family there because Mariah's boyfriend, Kyle, went on his mission there and knew some people. We arrived around five in the morning on Friday and slept in. Then we went to South Coast Plaza (if you don't know what it is, look it up :) ). Next we hit up Newport Beach. It was drizzling a little bit, but it wasn't too bad, so Lauren and I wandered away from the rest of the group to climb out on some rocks. The rain really started picking up, so we decided to head back to the group. We had to jump over this little barrier thing to get back, so I jump over it and wait for Lauren while she adjusted her towel when I suddenly felt like I was being stabbed by a million tiny needles. I screamed at her to hurry up and she was just like "whatever" until she jumped over and yelled. We had to run from dumpster to dumpster to avoid the tiny sand devils. Until the boys brought the cars to us. :)
Saturday was Disney Day! We got cheap park hopper tickets, so we got to go to California adventure as well and they included fast passes. The weather was kind of cloudy, which was fine with us because it meant the lines were way short! We didn't meet many of the characters, I think they were avoiding the rain, but we still had a blast! We actually saw a TON of BYU kids there. I guess its because we don't get a Spring Break. It was funny that we knew some of them were from BYU because of shirts/hoodies, but some of them we called before they even yelled "BYU" like any good Mormons (JK) because they looked young and had kids or looked like fresh RMs, etc.
Right before the Indiana Jones ride!
Sunday we hit up the local singles ward, took pictures at the beach and had a
delicious dinner with a member. My stomach seriously just growled, probably because I was already hungry, but that dinner was good...
My bad...I'm not very good at jumping pics....
Sadly, we had to leave on Monday, but we still went to a delicious joint for lunch (The Hat, famous for their pastrami) and BJs for their famous dessert, a pizookie! They are not overrated at all. It was amazing. Awesome, not my mouth is watering...It's a pizza sized cookie (hence pizza and cookie combined for the name) with ice cream on top. Somehow they make the cookie the perfect amount of doneness (of course it's a word.) Yummy!
Sharing the pizookie.
