What now?

So it's always a daunting task to post after having had something awesome happen in your life. It's easy to just babble about some everyday activity, but when, say, you go to California for a week it's always a little more intense. I'm never sure exactly what to say about it all. So we'll see if we can do this justice, eh? Sweet.

So I left last Thursday to head to California. Road trip! I made a playlist and all including, of course, the requisite track California by Phantom Planet (see: the OC theme song). It was a two day drive. Which made for a long trip and a fair bit of boredom haha. I brought along a book, game boy, ipod and stuff to write with. And we made it! Stopping somewhere along the way overnight we made it to Diamond Bar, California (about 20 miles out of LA and where they filmed Orange County) around four in the afternoon or so. And we then had our family reunion; spanning the weekend. It was pretty fun. Ate food, watched Field Of Dreams, and saw people I never knew existed haha. Good times. It was in the mid 90s the whole time I was there and that's a little change for a kid from little ol' Sammamish, where they give you warnings when it hits 80 degrees. It was fun though! I loved it.

Sunday was uneventful. Went to church and had a dinner with all the family again. Played some games, the whole nine. Nice and everything but not much to report. Monday we went to the beach! And I got burned haha. My face and random spots on my chest where I guess I sucked at putting on sunscreen. Ate at the Hat, which is an amazing sandwich place. Highly recommend. And Tuesday we went to Disneyland! Which is cooler than cool. I had a blast. I would put up pictures but I'm really too lazy to do all that now. But it was awesome. And it was actually not very crowded at all which is sweet. The longest we had to wait in line was 20 minutes for Space Mountain. How awesome is that? It had been far too long since I had been there. I love it every time. I don't really know what to say about Disneyland. I mean, it's awesome...so you can't really say any highlights. So I won't. It was fun.

Wednesday was a relaxation day. Just spent some time with family visiting. Until the evening that is. We went to this pirate dinner thing that was super sweet. It's almost like Medieval Times but pirate like instead. We went and had orderves and everything and they had this little pre-show thing. And it set up the story and all and then we all went in the main place and sat down. And it was this big ampitheatre almost with a pirate ship deck in the middle with masts and ropes and everything. And they put on this whole interactive show while we ate dinner with big booms, sweet aerial acrobatics and swordfights and everything. The pirates were all ripped with sweet six packs and all and it pretty much made me jealous. But it was awesome.

Yesterday we drove home. All. the. way. home. Which turned out to be a 19 1/2 hour drive. In one go. We got back last night at like 4:30 and I'm pretty tired because I haven't slept much. I'm in for a nap today. Anyway.

That was the trip! It was awesome and everything but it's good to be back. I hope all of you had a great week yourselves! I'm going to go relax and maybe nap and maybe my parents will take me to see Harry Potter. Have a great day everyone!

California, rest in peace.
