That was on Friday, the day of her stunt competition. We got there on Thursday and stayed until Sunday. The drive over there was punctuated by a lot of moments of utter boredom, when all I could really do is take totally random pictures like this-
Also on Friday, after that short competition was over, we decided to make a trip over to Huntington Beach. We didn't really know how to get there, but there were some sings that said "Huntington Beach this way" and such, so we just kind of followed those. Eventually we found it, off of an avenue called "Beach avenue." Really creative. This is some of what we saw-
On Saturday, while my sister was having fun at Disneyland (of which, we were staying pretty much right next to the whole time), me and my dad went around LA, where we probably only drove around 30 or so miles, but with LA traffic, we commuted for a good 3-5 hours easily. It was somewhat worth it, however, as we got to go to Hollywood Blvd and I got to take some pretty cool pictures, like this-
Other places we went to on Saturday were this little shopping area called The Grove, which had some pretty expensive looking restaurants and boutiques, but otherwise was just an open-air Arden Mall, and some hella ghetto-ass places around Los Angeles as we got lost a few times. Not really fun...
I took some pictures on Sunday, but nothing really interesting. I was too tired and exhausted from the trip to really want to do anything worthwhile. I just wanted to go home and sleep in my own bed again, which is the thing about spending time away from home that I like: realizing how much I really do love my own bed in my own room where I can be king for at least the night. Nothing better than coming home and plopping right on that bed that seems to remember your body like a well-worn glove.
On Wednesday of the actual week of spring break (I got a little bit of a head start with mine), me and Hannah decided to trek down to Monterey for a little spring break getaway. I totally underestimated the distance from where I live to Monterey, which is a good 3 hours. Needless to say, I was totally pooped at the end of that trip, of which I decided to turn on the little trip counter on my car just to see how much driving I did. It clocked in more than 500 miles that day. Shit.
But, it was totally worth it. Spending the whole day with my love would make any day bearable, but also visiting the cool vistas of the Monterey piers and Monterey Bay Aquarium was just the icing on the cake. Not to mention, after we went to Monterey, we decided to meet up with her friend in San Carlos up north by San Francisco for dinner. More of a drive but still a great end to a good day. Plus, I got pictures like this from the aquarium-
Overall, it was a great spring break, something I needed to rejuvenate myself for the last 6 weeks of school left. Just 6 more weeks left of school at Sacramento City College. I can't believe it, but yeah, I am over the hump and everything is just downhill from here, although I still have quite a bit of work to do for all of my classes. But still, I can almost see the light at the end...
