The weekend school got out Tay and I hit up the Taylor Swift concert, she got tickets for her birthday. Neither one of us were huge fans of her before we went but we came out of her concert very much pleased. We couldn't get any good pictures at the concert but here is one in the parking lot, which happens to be in my rental car. The week school got out I was rear-ended at a stop light. Ghetto!
The next day I headed down to Utah. A few girls that I went to China with had a little get together before one of them headed to the mission field. It was great to see them again! That night I met up with Greg, Janica, and Daniel and we started our trek down to California. One of my favorite things is driving and stopping at all the pull out thingys along the way. One stop was St. George. We were on the hunt for a Sonic. After about an hour of TellMe, Chacha, and other navigating crap we found it. Unfortunately it was boarded up and abondoned. With much dissapointment and growling tummies we decided to check out the temple and head off to Vegas in hopes of finding an open one, which thankfully we did after another hour search. Why go through so much trouble to find a freakin Sonic, you ask? Because it is the most delicious fast-food restraunt on the planet and when four hungry people crave it, there is no escaping it's grasp. But hey, we got to see many 'fantastic' sites along the way.
The next two days we spent at the highly anticipated Disneyland
. If you can believe it, it was Greg's first time! I had a blast showing him around the park and taking him on all the 'good rides.' One of my favorite parts was
talking Melinda into going on the Tower of Terror. She was indeed terrorized. After two fun packed days with Mickey we had a relaxing day at the beach.
The next day we headed down to the L.A. Temple for cousin Katherine's wedding. It was beautiful and we are very excited for them and the exciting adventures that follow marriage.
On our way home we took a few more detours. Katie's reception was in Apple Valley and near by there is Route 66, which is something that I have always wanted to check out. So, we stopped by and toured a museum and took some pics by the sign.
We also spent the night in Vegas. Daniel and Janica came too. We went to a hypmatist show that night which was hilarious, and decided that the place would be a lot more fun if we were partiers.
So we strolled down the strip and checked out all the cool sites and Dan found the Go Pool. (Don't worry Melinda he didn't go in, he's not yet 21)
The next day we drove up Kolob Canyon, which was gorgeous!
For the Fourth of July we drove down to Utah to the weekend. We camped out in Midway againg this year and went boating with the family. I didn't really get any good pictures.
We were tanning on the tramp on the lake.
Hopefully I will eventually get the rest of our summer up and maybe, if lucky enough, some of our new place.
