The Trip

Well I just got back from an amazing vacation. It was so much fun, and I can't wait to do it again. We headed towards Mesquite after Dalen and Tiffany's baby blessing on sunday. After arriving at Mesquite, we stayed at the Virgin River hotel and Casino. Don't worry we did not gamble! It was pretty hot there. It felt like a heater with the hot air blowing on us. The next morning we continued out journey to California. My mom let me take the hotel keys in so that I could see a Casino for the first time. It was just like you see it on TV. I thought I would sleep most of the way, but I didn't. It was fun to see what Nevada and California had to offer. I wasn't to impressed with the Desert. On our way I did see the world's largest thermometor. Exciting I know, but the worst part is it read 113 degrees. Arriving in Los Angeles was a little scary. The freeways were crazy, and my mom was controlling the map. We couldn't decide what was scarier, my dads driving or my mom's directing. :) After leaving our stuff in the motel we headed for the Braves/Dodgers game. It was so much fun. I went down as close as I could and took pictures. It was awesome. Trevor and Rory text me through out the whole game finding out what was going on. The Braves didn't do so hot, but it was still a good game, and Andruw GOT TO PLAY! I was so excited. I just wish Furcal would have been able to play too. There were a lot of great plays, it was awesome. The Braves ended up losing 3 to 0 but it was worth it. Us Braves fans stuck together. We are friendly people I had a guy come and shake my hand, and another girl wave big to me becauseI was wearing a Braves shirt. Another guy told me "sorry about that Brave thing." I had a blast. The next day we headed for Disneyland. A place where we could be kids again. I loved riding the rides, and seeing all the places. My favorites would have to be Tower of Terror, Soaring over California, and Pirates of the Caribbean. I got a little violated during the bugs life show. I even got my dad to ride the tower of terror. It was a blast. I also was surprised by a phone call from Steven at the airport. I was so excited. It was so good to hear his voice. I also got my picture taken with Pooh bear, and my dad ran around taking pictures of the princesses for my nieces. That night we went to see what a California mall was like. (not impressed with the one we went to) Wed. we went to the beach. It was a little scary to be in the water, but it was so cool to see. I loved it. My mom saved my dad from choking on a piece of licorice, as my dad wondered why a lifeguard didn't come to his rescue. A guy on the Pier caught a Sting Ray. It was awesome, they are cool to see in real life. I enjoyed watching the surfers too. Everything was just going great. That afternoon, we headed towards home, and stayed in St. George. There I used my swimming suit at the pool. I was impressed. I'm a good swimmer. NOT! The next day we shopped and drove the rest of the way home. Thank you mom and dad for taking me. I had a blast, and can't wait to do it again!
