Day 29

Today we went out and visited Beverly Hills.


We got up late and hung around the house for a while. We eventually went out and drove to Beverly Hills. There we walked around and tried to find a Starbucks. On the way to the Starbucks, we passed a cupcake store called Sprinkles which had a massive line outside the door. The other thing we saw was that all the car rental places rented out really expensive cars. We saw Bentleys and Rolls Royces and even a Ferrari. After we got Starbucks, we went back to the house and had a great dinner.

Day 28

We drove from San Diego to LA. We got up and started packing the car around 10AM. We cleaned out the trash so that we could fit all three of us in the car, and then we hit the road. We stopped at Starbucks and Jamba Juice on our way out of town. We got to LA early in the afternoon and hung around the house for a while. Later that evening, we went out for Chinese food with the family we were staying with. After dinner we were freaking out b/c we were about to go for our interview with Dr.Drew and Stryker. We drove over to the Westwood one studio around 8 and went to Wendy's to kill some time before we were to be at the studio at 9:30. The interview went well and after words we got to sit in the studio and watch the recording of the radio show Loveline. We got back to the house around 12:30 and went to bed.

Day 27

This morning we woke up around 9 and went to breakfast at Pipes with the family we are staying with. We then went to Ponto Beach which was beautiful with crystal clear water. We spent a few hours there body surfing and boogy boarding, which was nice since we have never had access to boogy boards. We broke off from the Everett's and and went to opening day at Del Mar horse track. We were able to catch the last three races. There were many short dresses, crazy hats, and drunk idiots. Joining the spirit of the track I had David put in two bets for me. I bet $7 on Glimmering Pete in race 8 of 9...he came in second to last, but I could tell he was putting forward is best. The odds for that race was 1:10. For race 9 I bet $3 on La Swing. The starting odd were 1:8 but ended up being 1:15. The race started out looking good for me. La Swing came out of the box fast and lead the race for a majority of the time but at the very end he dropped 4 places and I was out of the money since in both of my bets I bet for the horses to place. After the race we took a free shuttle back to our parking spot. By the time we got back to the house it was 7:30 and we were ready for dinner. We went to Uno and had a great meal. Now its 10 and we are watching "So you think you can dance." I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep after such a long day.

Day 26

Day 26 we drove from San Clemente to San Diego. We did not realize how short the drive was, so when we got to SD we decided to track down some lunch. It was surprisingly hard to find somewhere to eat, and we ended up in a small Mexican strip mall were we got foot long subs for $3. After lunch we got back on the 5 and went down to Imperial beach. When we got to the beach, I dropped Noah off at the beach and drove to the local library to get some internet. After calling the people we would be staying with, I headed to the beach to swim with Noah. After a couple hours of swimming and body surfing, we hit the road to Escondido. Last night was relatively mellow, we hung around the house and had a great home cooked meal for a change, and showered off.

Day 25

After a night filled with the sound of ATVs, Dune Buggies, and Dirt Bikes we were ready for a little fun of our own. We rented two Honda 250 EX 2007 ATVs for 2 hours. It was expensive but well worth it. We started out slow but quickly got used to the semi-automatic controls and steering of the ATVs. We then hit the Dunes, which reminded me of a large ski resort. We started out on small hill but moved up to large slopes and small jumps. We were catching mad air at this point. Like 3 to 6...INCHES....it was off the hook as you will see in our videos. Though I usually manage to get hurt on things that go fast and have the ability to go off jumps, I managed to get away with only a few scrapes and bruises on my ankle from failing to do a wheeley. David being the little girl that he is had to stop half way through because he felt "sick" and needed to eat pop tarts. Once our 2 hours were up we packed up the campsite and left for somewhere in Southern California. We embarked on an 8 hr drive. When we drove through Malibu we saw a lot of huge ridiculous houses. Then in LA we stopped at an In-and-Out Burger for the first time, it was tasty. Our last place we drove through was Laguna Beach, the setting of the forever popular TV show "Laguna Beach". I think I saw Jessica. Our night ended in San Clemente State Park, where we had a successful fire with wood that was given to us at Pismo Beach earlier that morning. It was hard to fall asleep because some really loud women in the campsite next to us, but once we did fall asleep we slept well.

Day 24

Day 24 morning we drove to the Monterey Aquarium to check it out. It took us a while to figure out parking, but in the end it turned out ok. The aquarium was really great, because of its location in an area that is home to most of the remaining sea otters, the aquarium focused a lot on them. After walking through most of the aquarium, we saw that there were some free movies so we decided to check them out. The first thing we saw wasn't actually a movie but instead a game shaw called "You Otter Know." It was semi-entertaining, and as I predicted the oldest person who was not an adult won. The next video was about sharks and was hosted by the author of Jaws. It was so so, and as soon as it was over we left to head towards our next campsite. We didn't actually have a place to stay so we decided to drive and check out the campsites as we saw them. We ended up at Pismo Beach, where we were able to camp literally on the beach. That evening around 9:30, we went for a walk on the beach where we saw a massive RV get horribly stuck in the sand. We were mildly amused when we saw them get stuck, but we saw that they clearly needed some help so we lent a hand. It took us a while, but we finally got them out. After driving about 100ft they got stuck again, and again we helped get them out. Then we saw a guy in a pickup truck who looked like he was stuck so we walked over to offer a hand. When I asked if he was stuck he said "Yeah, but not that kind" he was clearly very drunk so we decided to go our separate ways, but before we left he offered us some weed, we decided to pass on that and went back to the tent to sleep.

Day 23

Today we drove from Yosemite to Monterey. Before leaving we went on a short hike (only about 4 or 5 miles) and saw Mirror Lake. It was a very uneventful drive toady, and we got to Monterey around 6pm. After setting up the tent we went over to the beach and walked for a little while. Then we came back to the campsite and fixed dinner. It has been a very uneventful day. Tomorrow we are planing on visiting the Monterey aquarium.

Day 22

Day 22 we woke up and left our hosts house. We stopped and picked up some bagels from a place called Noah's bagels. We then drove out to Yosemite National Park. When we got into the park we stopped by the camp office to find out where we would be able to get a site for the night. We ended up staying in Camp 4, a camp frequented by hikers and rock climbers. I liked it a lot b/c it only cost $5 per person. After we got the tent set up and put all our food in bear boxes, we decided to go for a swim in the river. The stream was a short walk from out camp and the water was very cool and refreshing. We swam downstream a ways and played around in the water and then swam back to where we had started. After we hiked back to the campsite, we set our tofu marinating for dinner and just hung around the campsite. Dinner was good, we had rice and tofu in an asain sauce, and we went to bead really early. b/c it was so early, we couldn't sleep and ended up reading Dr. Drew's book to each other for a while.
