Spring Break 2012!!

Yes Hello. I'm back! So for spring break this year me 13 of my friends headed to the California coast. My friend Dave was super nice and let us stay at his beach house in Pismo. Pismo Beach is about 2 hours outside of L.A. The weather was great! It was between the high 60s and low 70s. Which doesn't sound like swimsuit beach weather....but compared to what it has been in Logan it was wonderful!!

Friday night we drove down to St. George and stayed in my parents house....which was very nice of them to let us! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Then Saturday we got up early and headed to Cali. It took us about 7 hours to get there. We were caravanning in 3 cars so that made for some funny stories.

Anyway...Saturday night and Sunday day we spent in Moorpark. That is where Dave grew up.

Saturday night we went and did City Walk and the Walk of Fame.

Here is the group at City Walk.

From Left to right, top to bottom:

Dylan, Jake, R.J., Patrick, Jenn, Dave,

Rhett, Katelyn, Phil, Jamie, Jaclyn, Me

Basia, Nils

Ok quick summary of how I am connected to each of them...

Jenn and Jaclyn are my roommates. Jenn met Dave last year and we became friends when I moved in. Katelyn is Dave's girlfriend and Dylan is Dave's roommate. Jamie is Jaclyn's sister and is in our ward. The other boys: Rhett, Jake, R.J., Phil, Patrick, and Nils are all roommates. We call them the Arnell Boys (because that's the name of their apartment) and met them through the ward. Basia is a friend of the Arnell boys.

Pretty great group... yeah?!

This picture was taken on City Walk. Funny HUGE poster that we had to take a picture in front of. Inspite of the weirdness I just think it's a really cute picture.

This is Monday morning at Pismo Beach! We finally made it!! Monday we slept in a little and then went and walked around the cute little town of Pismo. This picture is on one of the piers.

Once we were done walking around we ran home and changed into our swimming suits and went to play on the beach. People kept walking past us on the boardwalk and stopping to watch. Everyone else was in pants and sweatshirts....except our group. People thought we were crazy. But it felt great!!

A little beach Volleyball!

The boys were even brave enough to get into the FREEZING water. I would only put my feet in cause the water was in the 40s...SO COLD!!

Here is R.J. and Phil

We then proceeded to bury R.J. into the sand and make him a Merman! He loved it :)

This is how we spent most of our nights in Pismo. There's not much better than hanging out on the beach with a fire and some friends :)

So Tuesday we loaded up all of Dave's Quads and his Razor and headed to some sand dunes. We spent the day playing on these fun toys!

This is the Razor. Jenn was a crazy driver...which made it fun!

This was our camp for the day.

All the girls bought these Spring Break t-shirts. Fun colors!

This is one of my favorite pictures of everyone!

Tuesday night we went to a delicious steak house called F.McLintocks. Its was very fun and a little pricey but yummy!

Jenn and I in the gift shop waiting to be seated.

They had giant stuffed animals...so we had to take pictures by them!

I'm not sure what is going on here....

This waiter walked up to R.J. and said put this cup on your head. He then proceeded to climb on a chair and blindfold himself and poor a pitcher of water into the cup. He did spill a little bit at the end but it was still impressive!

R.J. looks a little scared because when he blindfolded himself we all gasped but R.J. couldn't tell what was going on behind him.

At this restaurant there was a challenge to eat this entire plate of food and then you got a free t-shirt.

If you can't tell how big it is...that is 1 and 1/2 pounds of beef! So much beef!!

Dylan finished the entire plate and Dave came so close! Not going to lie it made me sick just by watching!

Dave's Mom Ann took us to this cool inn called Madonna Inn. In the basement the men's restroom had a waterfall instead of urinals. It was pretty interesting.

On Wednesday we were all a little reluctant to leave so Ann took us to this pier that all these seals come and hang out. It was a great way to say goodbye!

Last group picture! Sad to leave but we had a BLAST!!
