Tim and Sierra: Graduation Trip with the ladies!

(S) My new goal for this blog? Learning how to update it more recent than WEEKS after the event occurs :) Instead I think I blog right before another event happens. Oh well! So about a week after graduation the girls (Denica, Kate, Mandi, Chrissy, and myself) went on a road trip so Santa Monica. It was our last hoorah together since Chrissy is moving back to the east coast and Kate is going to an Ad school in the fall. Denica is contemplating moving to the east coast or sticking around, Mandi is staying, and who knows where I am going to end up!!

So we road tripped all the way to Cali in two cars since we couldn't fit 5 girls and all of our stuff in one vehicle. Ride was easy, quick, painless (I slept the whole way). When we were getting close to the exit for Santa Monica we took the wrong exit and ended up in some random ol town in who knows where. Best part? They had easily at least 5 donut shops in the 5 miles of town we went through. Why why why would you ever need so many donut shops?

Anyways, finally made it to our hotel which was AMAZING. Props to Chrissy for finding such a bomb.com place. We immediately decided to walk down the 3rd street promenade which was right down the road for some food and beer. We found a sweet place that offered beer and pool so we chilled there. Then we just walked around and watched the street performers. Ok, if you know me at all, you know that I love love LOVE street performers of all kind. I love watching the acts and I made the girls stop every single time so I could see them. The next morning we woke up and went to the beach which was right across the street from us. Amazing. We were there all morning and I swear that I use multiple layers of sunscreen! Alas, my Norweigan genes didn't care for the sunscreen and I burned anyways. Pain! Mandi also burned so we were lathering ourselves in aloe the rest of the trip.

Basically, every single day consisted of 3rd street promenade, beach time, and food. I couldn't imagine anything better. We did spend one afternoon walking down Hollywood Boulevard and that was fun checking out the stars. Overall, AWESOME trip. We loved it and were so enthralled with it all. Ladies....I love you!
