In order to finish out Freshman year with a big huzzah, Anna and I took a little road trip to California. Thanks to our friend Ryan and his family's hospitality, we had quite the hookups. We crashed at his house (15 minutes from Newport Beach, 15 minutes from Disneyland, 15 minutes from Angels Stadium...what a stellar location!) and he hooked us up with tickets to an Angels game on Thursday, cheap Disneyland tickets on Friday and a day trip to Newport Beach on Saturday. When Sunday morning rolled around we hit the road again; a special thanks to Alex for flying out to California just to drive 9 hours home with us...I guess it's safer to have a man in the car in case a tire needs to be changed in the middle of the Nevada desert. We had such a good time and it was the perfect end to the year. After my St. George and California adventures this past month, I've come to the conclusion that I love road trips...they are such a party.
Lovin' the Angels
There's a chance we may have pretended it was my 19th birthday...I really wanted a "Happy Birthday" pin and birthday wishes from every Disney worker in the park...those corn tortillas we got were pretty delicious as well. Thanks Disney.
California Adventures with Anna, David, Ryan and Simone. Perfect company for a theme park.
Newport Beach dayYou'd think a beach would be warm, oh no, it was quite chilly and cloudy. And yet we still managed to get sunburned.
This is our friend, Artemis. He is the permanent resident of the room that we slept in at Ryan's house. He was a very stalwart guard and protected us from any scary nighttime creatures that may have crept into the room while we were sleeping. I miss Artemis. 
awww...artemis! oh, how i miss that little fella. he was such a protector, and he didn't even mind that i ran into him every 238.4 seconds! what a wonderful trip..thanks for going with me! you are the greatest.
