i <3 cali

california trip


So last week my family and I took a trip to San Diego for our annual vacation. It was so much fun- and the weather was GREAT! We stayed in a 3 story beach house in walking distance from the beach. It had 5 balconies including one on the roof. There were 14 people (and 2 dogs) in all and we had a great time! We went to the beach every day and when we weren't there we went to Sea World and the San diego zoo. We went to Sea World about 5 times because we had passes that allowed us to go as many times as we wanted. We went boogie boarding, snorkeling, and Jason even went scuba diving with my brother. We rode bikes on the boardwalk and relaxed on the beach. I finished one book (The Host) and started another (Marley and Me). Luckily I didn't get burnt hardly at all but got a lot more color on my pale skin :). Belmont park was a lot of fun. It is just like a carnival with fun rides and a great rollercoaster! We went there one night (half price night cause its very expensive) and had a great time! It was so nice being there but now its back to work for me! :( I could've stayed there all summer!

That's so cool that you guys got to stay in a beach house. That is way better than getting a hotel room. Glad you didn't get burnt, that always ruins it a bit for me if its too bad. I wish we could go to Cali, San Diego is so fun to go to. You finished the Host! how did you like it?!

I really liked the Host- it was really good! But I didn't like it as much as the vampire trio. Is she going to write a sequel to the Host or is that it? I figured that was going to be it for that story but maybe not..?

I have heard that she IS going to write a sequel! I have heard that from lots of sources. So that is pretty exciting. I hope she never stops writing. Can you believe Breaking Dawn (Twilight book 4) comes out next Saturday! I probably won't get to read it until some time after that because Steve's mom ordered it for all of the girls and it has to go to her house THEN she has to ship it to me out here in Dallas, Sad. So if you read it before me don't say anything! :) until I tell you I've read it.

Romi, way cute blog! Looks like you guys had so much fun in California. I'm dying to go to Cali and get away from this heat. A nice day on the beach sounds perfect right now, I'm jealous!

It looks like you guys had a blast at the beach! I am sooooo jealous!I just started reading Marley and Me also. Did you see they are making a movie of that book?

Romi said...

Yeah the movie comes out this December. I'm excited for it- I hope its good! I'm halfway through the book and I really like it.
