California Trip




I had a wonderful time in California with my family and my Mom's best friend’s family. We were there for a total of 5 days and we had various activities planned each day and many different restaurants planned to eat at. On day one My family and I went with Laura and Kera to a very nice restaurant Costera this place had an amazing view of the ocean. I remember taking lots of pictures with Kera by the water because the view was so perfect. On our way back home I noticed all of the traffic for only being three o'clock in the afternoon and couldn't believe that the freeway was always busy during the day it didn't mean if it was morning or night the freeway was crazy busy. On the next morning, I woke up pretty early because California is two hours behind Wisconsin time. My Mom, Dad, Kera, and I went with Laura to her hair appointment followed by some Starbucks afterward. Then we went to Costco to get some snacks for our beach bonfire that was going to occur that evening. When we got home everyone packed their bags and got some warm clothes because the temperatures were dropping quickly. We packed the car with a cooler, chairs, food, and ourselves of course! We all arrived at the beach in about forty-fives. Everyone helped unload the car, set up the games, and food. After we were set up everything we walked along the beach The view was absolutely beautiful with the waves glistening, birds chirping, and the weather was perfect. After we came back from the walk we all played some games on the beach which included badminton and football.  The sun was starting to set and the light was becoming dimmer. Laura had called in a guy that would come to set-up the beach bomb fire and take down when we were done which was really nice because we didn't have to worry about bringing any wood or matches. I enjoyed sitting around the warm fire with the comfort of my family and friends with lots of laughs. Kera asked her Mom if she could have a marshmallow to make an s'more and she began to pass the bag so everyone around the fire could have one. The s’mores were so delicious! Oh, my it's already it's already day three and we're going sailing in the ocean. Sailing was absolutely amazing, but there is a lot of technical work involved that I didn't realize.  The next day we all went to the beach for a day. It was a bit chilly, but later on, it began to warm up. My brother, Kera, and I played with a Frisbee in the ocean after we ate our sandwiches. The water was really cold, but after a little while, we got used to it.  On the following day our second to last day we went to the San Diego fair with Laura and Kera. The fair was very busy and big. I had a really good pasta dish for lunch with a salad and bread stick was really good. We walked around the fair for a bit and Kera and I went on a ride and then we left to go home. That night Laura made homemade pizza on the grill which was to die for! Our last day is fastly approaching which is really sad because I don't want to leave and get back to reality. The last day was filled with lots of shopping at a mall, dinner, and lots of sunset pictures with family and friends. This trip was definitely one for the books and couldn't have asked for anything better. I can't wait to someday go back to California and explore more of the city because there is so much more to see of course that I didn't get to explore.
