The California Trip Part 2

It has finally arrived.
The second part of the account of one of the best trips I've been on in a long time.

The last time I left off, we were at the Grand-beautiful-Canyon.

We stayed in that area for one day and spent the following morning before leaving soaking up the sun rays and splashing in the very shallow pool at our hotel.


Katie and Emily were my California buddies. They are two of my favourite people and I got to stay with them everywhere we went. We stayed at our host family in Orange County together and then when we went on our road trip, we stayed together in all the hotels we visited.
One night in Orange County, we were invited by some people we met to go and hang out at their house in their hot tub.
It. Was. Amazing.
The view was insane! We looked out onto a beautiful valley with a lovely moon shining down. It was very californian.


When we got back to Southern California, we spent a few days in Costa Mesa where we stayed at a local University which was a lot of fun. We ended up going to Newport Beach again one day where I had a famous Balboa Bar covered in Oreos. I was a fan.




On our last day in California, we checked into our last hotel near the airport during the morning meaning we had lots of time to chill out and enjoy the last day in LA. We used the pool's jacuzzi and pool during the day with the boys playing random games in the water while the rest of us, being the girls, dipped in and out while giving a last attempt at getting a Californian tan. Which generally failed. Oh well...next time.


The meal for the last evening inevitably had to be one last In-N-Out experience which the Boyfriend took to the full extent by ordering two of the biggest burgers along with two portions of massive chips. So attractive. Bless him.


A group of us decided to take full advantage of the evening and decided to venture to the cinema which turned out to be a FREAKING long walk away.


It ended up being a massive cinema which was SO cool!


We discovered that there was a seemingly good price to see Pirates of the Caribbean 4 so Katie, Will, Ben and I decided to splash our last Dollah on that. They were excited...


I thought it was pretty good. Thumbs up from me. The 3D glasses are especially sexy I feel.


All in all it was an awesome trip, definitely not a holiday and I will be returning.

California, wait for me. I loved you. I will come back. For longer this time. Promise.
