bye bye cali hello summer

I got back from cali a little over a week ago. I planned on staying there for a couple days but ended up staying there for 2 weeks. I was having too much fun! Here's some pictures in sequence of the good times I had in cali with my family and friends.

My sister's roommate had a circus themed birthday party. We were supposed to be dancing zebras. 8/8/09

My sister graduated from Vanguard University. 8/9/09

Mothers day!!! Jenna, my parents and I went shopping at Ikea and Target for baby stuff for my niece that is due July 24th! My mom had alot of fun. For dinner we ate at this restaurant called Tokyo Table. It's sooooooo good! And then right next door they have this bread place called 85 degrees celcius (as shown above.) It was crazy packed with a bunch of Japanese people, but their bread stuff was so good. 5/10/09

The one thing my mom really wanted to do on the trip was go to the zoo, so thats what we did!

Alana and I hit up America's Cup after dinner

I hung out at Barnes and Nobles with my mom for a bit and found this book with the artist Ive been looking for. By far my FAVORTIE artist. 5/13/09

Later on that night I took my sister and mom to this restaurant called Number Nine in Long Beach. I didnt know it was scary there at night. Now I know.

On the way to Six Flags, Alana, Jenna and I accidentally drove past the world's oldest opperating McDonalds. What a joy....none of us eat there....yucky. 5/15/09

We finally made it there after a long drive

Stuck in heavy traffic......two hour drive home

Jenna, my mom and I went for a walk in Newport, right to the left of the wedge. It was a BEAUTIFUL day.

Picking seashells at Corona Del Mar. 5/18/09

Then we went to the park and hit some balls....golf balls, volleyballs, wiffle balls but not bocci balls

Yesturday I spent a few hours in Borders looking through magazines and books. I ended up buying a magazine called Ready Made...a fun and crafty magazine. I think I looked through the magazine like 10 times already. I love it. Anyways this morning I was exploring websites that were mentioned in the magazine and not to my surprise, there were some pretty cool ones.....Ill post em tomorrow.....its almost bedtime for me;)
Later on in the day I swung by Savers and bought a cool dress. Im gonna alter the style a little.....fun stuff, fun stuff. After Savers, Mikey and I drove up to Wailuku for no reason and found a cool lookout spot. I found some pretty yellow flowers. We love taking pictures with his fujifilm mini polaroid camera:)




I finished off the day with my Monday night 3 hour World Religions class......yay
