California Dreaming...

Well, we made it to the left coast. Today I touched the Pacific Ocean. But before we get too carried away, I'll give you the brief breakdown (because you don't want to read too much and I don't want to type too much, it'll be in bullet form!) because I'm tired and scattered in my thinking.

Sunday:

- Got up, left from Utah and saw the Grand Canyon (INCREDIBLE).
- Camped in the National Forest near the Grand Canyon and saw the most incredible display of stars I have ever encountered. It was also incredibly cold (like we dropped below freezing cold) for camping. But we survived with many blankets and sleeping bags. Who knew Arizon was cold!

Monday:
- We got up at 4:20 am and saw probably one of the most incredible sights of my life: sunrise over the Grand Canyon
- We hiked 10 miles around the Grand Canyon
- We drove 5 hours to get to Las Vegas
- Wandered around Vegas for a couple of hours... just enough time to develop an educated perspective that I probably don't need to go there again!

Tuesday:
- Saw the fountain in front of Bellagio... incredible!
- Drove to Los Angeles where we met up with my friend Mel from Houghton and then fellow admission counselor Carrie.

Wednesday:
- Today we ran off to Hollywood, Santa Monica beach and Huntington Beach. Gotta love the beach!!!

Who knows what adventures await us tomorrow...
