Picture Post...

As I've been putting these pictures on my blog, they've been automatically adding to the top of my post and not progressing down the page as I had first anticipated...therefore, they are completely backwards as far as the timeline of our trip. So, if you want to see the true timeline, you can start at the bottom and work your way upwards. Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy a jumbled version of our trip to California!
This is a picture of my family (l-r: Andrew, Mom, Alicia and Dad) wandering like tourists at Disney Land. They all look so lost...I love it!



We did two days at Disney Land (one in the California Adventure park and one in actual Disney Land). This is a picture of my parents...they think they're ready for this ride, but actually...


We went to Mexico one day (parked in Cali and walked across)...when we were walking back across this was the traffic we saw at the border and we waited for an hour (on foot) to reach American soil again.


This is Nathan and I at Joshua Tree National Park...not many trees, you say? Well, there is some fuzzy-ness coming out of Nathan's head in this picture...that is the top of a Joshua tree.


This is the view from the top of a crew setting up for a Victoria's secret red (aka hot pink) red carpet. The stars on the sidewalk are the Hollywood walk of fame stars. Pretty cool, huh?


This is just a very cool picture of me and Andrew (my brother) at Joshua Tree National Park...climbing the rocks.


Nathan and I with a teeny tiny little Hollywood sign in the background. Can you see it???


Shopping for hot sauce in a farmers market in LA...world's hottest hot sauce - $130/bottle.

On the way to California...all excited to be warm!

Newport Beach, here I come!

This is our destination of choice...nice, warm, beautiful Newport Beach, California!! I mentioned in my last post that we are looking forward to a trip with my family to California. Well, this trip is only four days away! I'm really excited to be leaving the snow that has been falling today and to arrive at a much warmer destination! We plan to do a day at Disney Land and a day in Mexico (as we're only a few hours' drive from the border). Other than that, we don't really have any plans...as far as I know, anyway! My parents might have some fun and exciting things planned for us that we don't know about yet. But if not, that's just fine too! I'm more than ready to relax and spend some time with family! Whoo-hoo!
