the 4th

well steve quit his job to take a 4th of July vacation! haha but we had a blast :) (thats kinda a joke...he just got a new job but it was perfect timing bc we got to go to the beach with his family!) We stayed up really late thursday night watching 24 and then woke up at 630 friday morning to drive to California. Newport here we come...





Friday morning we started our journey to California! I tried to stay awake but it was really early so i slept most of the way to barstow. Steve is such a good sport. Soo Barstow is a must on our way to Cali. We have always stopped there to eat at Del Taco with my family and i felt right at home when steves family said they wanted to stop there too! This Del Taco is special because they overload your tacos, all of the ingredients barley fit into the tortilla. (thats why the boys LOVE it) Its pretty awesome! Eat, Restroom break and we are back on the road! A couple hours later we got to LA, we went shopping and hung out. That night we went to an Angels vs Dodgers game. We were cheering for the Angels but they got creamed. It was still fun!






Saturday we got up early and went to the beach! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the beach and it was a perfect day. The boys dropped us off with all of our stuff and we set everything up while they went on a hunt for a parking spot. We were obviously the newbies bc we didn't come prepared with quarters to feed the meters so steve and i went on our little adventure. We have been watching Dual Survival like its our job and we are pretty obsessed. Cody (a guy on the show) hasn't worn shoes in forever and steve thinks thats awesome so he talked me into being like Cody Lundin and not wearing shoes. Since i thought we were only walking to the pier, mostly in the sand I agreed. Well once we got to the change machine we found that it was out of order! Typical :) so we walked around to different places to see if anybody would give us change. Well we ended up walking for 2 hours to a Bank of America to get enough quarters for our meter. Needless to say it was a fun adventure, my feet were very sensitive the rest of the day but it made my hunny happy! The rest of the day was full of body boarding, sun tanning, and playing in the sun. It was a perfect day!



Sunday was just as great. We relaxed on the beach with all of our friends and enjoyed playing with our nephews. We built a sand castle and steve dug a hug hole for them that they turned into a slide. They loved it. I must admit we have the cutest nephews. That night we all went to dinner together at the Outback and finished it off with Americas Cup. (a yogurt place in Cali that we love) That night ended in all of us laughing so hard that 3 of the boys threw up! it was hilarious!

Monday morning we all ate breakfast together and got back on the road. When we got home we went to lunch with Steve"s family and Nana and Papa. They were in town so we were excited to see them. Later that night we went to Worthen circle to see all of our family members light off fireworks. It was fun and relaxing.

A great 4th of July to spent with my sweetie. Since we've only known each other for 8 months we still have a lot of things to experience with each other! It is awesome!!!
