Cali Girls!

Wow, where to begin. I was lucky enough to meet up with some of the best girls this last weekend. My roommates from my sophomore year of college and I met up in sunny California for a quick vacation. :) It was great to see the many ways these ladies have grown and developed over the years, and yet, they really are the same girls I fell in love with 10 years ago.

I loved talking about old memories and current situations, and I loved making new memories around every corner.

We went to Disney Land the first day and to the beach the second.


Here are a few of the memorable moments for me:

1- I can in fact travel by myself. I CAN navigate my way through an airport, get transportation after, etc. I was quite proud of myself.

2- Seeing people that I love after not seeing them for about 8 years makes me really happy. My heart even raced as I watched for my girls to come down the airport stairs. :) VERY fun!!!

3- Waiting for a shuttle for 45 minutes on the pick up curb at the airport is o.k. and goes quickly while chatting and catching up.

4- KY time and LA time are TOTALLY off!! :) I was up about 3-4 hrs before my roommates were. :)

5-Disney land is fun at ANY age!!!!

6- my feet and back hurt after walking for 13 hrs.

7- the wonder of color show at the end of the day was totally worth sticking around for. It was amazing watching the water and lights show while projecting the movie clips on the mist of water.. .. VERY COOL! Here is a clip of the finale!



8- I really like dancing. I always have. I probably always will. I loved loved loved the Disney celebrate parade.




9- I LOVE the ocean.

10- Never believe someone, even if it's your old roommate, when they tell you the beaches are cold and windy this time of year. Maybe in N. Cali, but the beach we went to was BEAUTIFUL and we were wishing we had our suites. oh well, it didn't stop me from playing in the water. :) I really couldn't resist. It was sooo gorgeous.

11- iphones do not survive falling in the ocean. But nice Apple people replacing it for free helped me survive my stupidity. :)

12- Sea Shells are really fun to collect.

13- Sunglasses will fall off your head and be swept away into the ocean, but sometimes really nice natives see them from the pier and swim out to get them for you (or my roommate in this case!! :) I was impressed someone was that nice. He even told us sincerely to have a nice day and we deserved the glasses because we were working so hard to get them ( well, we had forgotten about them and were continuing to collect shells, but it was nice of him anyway.)

14- Jenny still really likes shopping and spilling all our stories to complete strangers!!. :)

15- Eating out is always fun!

16- saying goodbye is tough, but planning Paris for our next 10 year reunion makes it feel better!

17- It's always fun when my family gets excited that I am home.
