Friends, the beach, camping=heaven

The group
(br: Trent, Erika, Alison, Todd, Emily, Heidi, fr: Mike, Me, Dan, Hafid)

I love road trips and all that comes with it---lack of sleep craziness, great conversation, girl talk, not having to check work email. Really the list could go on and on. Add to it camping and the beach and it's the formula for brilliant adventure.

HOLLYWOOD

Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Walk of stars, street performances,
Hollywood sign, Kodak theatre, crazy people

Madam Tussards Wax Museum
uncanny likeness (mostly), grown ups playing dress-up, short movie stars

Miceli's Italian Restaurant
oldest Italian restaurant, fabulous pizza, Italian kitsch decor, "slices the size of a dinner plate"

Aneheim Angels vs. Kansas City Royals
first professional baseball game, nosebleed seats, rally monkey, AA broke seven game losing streak, beautiful weather

Taio Cruz Concert
actually knowing who Tai Cruz was, lack of sleep crazy dancing, cell phone picture

BEACH!!!

feet in the sand, waves crashing, sand castles, football, freezing water,
SUN, book reading, sea shell gathering, gorgeous sunsets, happiness

Camping
fire, marshmellow roasting, ocean cooked corn on the cob, our adopted pet aka the shunk, butchering campfire songs, good food, youtube video discussions, perfect summer activity
