*Notice- This post is extremly long...Like really long. 
I really love my life. Its so simple right now and I figure this is the only time in my life I'll be able to make sparatic trips to the beach when im broke. For labor day weekend Caitlin, Adam, Rhett, Nick, Kelsey and I all went to California. They decided they wanted to go like Wednesday night and I decided I was going to go for sure the Friday we left. It ended up being so last minute and we sure did pay for that. I ended up driving my truck along with Caitlin and Adam. Caitlin rode the whole way up in the back. Kudos for her. And then Nick, Rhett and Kelsey drove up in his car. Lets just say this trip was the trip from hell but it actually turned out to be one of the best i've been on.
Friday night we were all planning on leaving at 7. I knew it wouldnt happen and of course it didnt. Nick called our motel before we left but did it through hotels.com. When he talked to the guy he made sure he knew we were coming in at like 3 am and the guy told him that we wouldnt have to worry about paying for Friday night and we would just be charged for Saturday and Sunday. So Nick books it and we finally leave around 9 and we drive up to Oro Valley and pick up Kelsey. We stop and get something to eat and then we fiiiiiiiinally leave for real this time! Caitlin slept in the back most of the way and me and Adam talked and sang songs till he fell asleep. I was doing real good till we got across the border. Thats when I started getting tired and so I turned up the AC and I sang louder and Adam would wake up and ask how I was doing and depending on my answer he'd either stay awake or go back to sleep. But around 2 I was sooo tired. So Adam gave me an energy drink that I downed in no time but of course I spilt a large amount down the front of my white shirt. I didnt think it was a big deal, thought it would just blend in, but when we stopped I went in to the store and asked for the bathroom key and the guy just kinda looked at me weird. So I went in the bathroom and looked in the mirror, not only did I look cracked out but I also looked like I puked down the front of my shirt. It was awesome. We kept on driving and we got lost so we drove around more hoping to stumble upon where we needed to be. Finally we stopped again and Adam got directions. We finally arrived at like 3:30 and we get to the motel and of course they have no reservation for us. We were all tired. I had been up for like 22 hours at this point and we had no where to stay! So Nicks talking to the lady whose talking to hotels.com and were getting nowhere. So we ask if we can just get a room and the lady was like were all full but if we did you'd have to pay for Friday night. I was like were not paying for Friday night its absoultley ridiculous since it wasnt even Friday anymore and the sun was freaking coming up! So we went to a couple other places on the street and they all said the same thing, that we'd have to pay for Friday night or wait till check in Saturday morning. So we parked in a parking lot and slept in the cars. Rhett, Nick, and Kelsey slept in the back of my truck while I slept across the front seat, which was awesome once my leg and stomach got numb from where the seatbelt thing was jabbing me. We slept a couple hours and when I woke up I had to pee sooooo bad, like bad where it hurt, like I was literally contemplating whether or not I should pee my pants. So me and Kelsey tried asking if we could use a bathroom at the hotel but of course not cuz "they dont have public restrooms". So we walked a block down to the jack in the box to use theres. Keep in mind I look even better than the night before because I selpt in a car and there was so much humidity in the air AND I had "puke" down the front of my shirt. Awesome I tell you. But we finally get into a different hotel where we all just crashed on the beds. We squeezed 3 people in each bed and the 6 of us shared one bathroom all weekend. It wasnt actually bad though. But we slept for a couple more hours and then hit up the beach. We went to La Jolla and the water was actually nice and plesently warmish. But within the first 5 min I got pounded by a wave and lost my only sunglasses. I was so bummed. But we beached all day and then that night we went out to eat and came home and passed out.
Sunday we drove to Orange County because my old roomates decideded to come to Cali that weekend to. So we were planning on meeting up with them at the beach, which never happened. But we drove to Balboa beach and drove around for over an hour looking for parking with no avail. We finally just drove down to Hunnington beach and we stayed there for a few hours. Im not a big swimmer or into playing in the ocean to much. It kinda creeps me out. Im more of lay on the beach and tan kinda person. But as I was laying there I was kinda watching Adam and Cait and everyone and I see a boat get real close to them and then I see the lifeguards swimming to them and so I go down to see whats going on and apparently Adam got rescued because him and Cait got stuck in a rip tide. It was pretty funny though, Adam got on the boat and Caits lifeguard swam her back to shore. It was prettty eventful. Oh ya and as I was standing there all concerned a wave came up and took my bottoms with it. Luckily I was quick like a cheetah and I pulled those suckers on so fast, but not fast enough for Rhett and Cait who were lucky enough to get a glimpse of my sweet cheeks. Me and Cait could not stop laughing although I was pretty embarrased and Rhett just sort of stood there. It wasnt as bad as the day before though when it happened to Cait cept it was her top... Rhett was there for that too. Guess he was the lucky one.

But that night we stayed with Missy at her house. It was fun being with the girls again, I miss them so much and we always have a good time. After we all got showered we went down to Laguna Beach and walked around the town and talked on the beach. It was real nice, and Missy and Jackie and Julie and Kent came and met up with us. I ended up staying with them and everyone else went back and slept. But the rest of us took a thousand pictures of ourselves like usual. It was fun like always. 
Monday we all got up and got ready to head home. We were planning on stopping at the San Diego Temple and then going back to La Jolla for a little while longer to hang out before we left. So we left missys and went to Dennys for breakfast and then drove to the temple. When we got there Adam went to look for his camera to take some pictures and couldnt find it. Of course he had left it back in Mission Viejo at the Dennys so we walked around the temple took a couple pictures and then Me Adam and Cait went back while Nick Rhett and Kelsey went back home. All in all it wasnt bad. I think I laughed more on that trip than anywhere else. My stomach was literally sore from laughing on the way home. It was alot of fun and im so glad we ended up going.
