Road Tripper.

So my friend Ari and I went on a much needed vacation. We decided on Wednesday to leave on Tuesday. So it was slightly spontaneous. I was lucky enough to get work off very easily and we were on our way. We stayed in St. George for the first night, then it was off to the land of casinos and shopping. Vegas. Vegas? Vegas!!!! We got lost in the biggest H&M store in the world. I am sad to report that I left with only a pair of sun glasses. I think I was a little overwhelmed. Then we were off to the Cheesecake Factory where we got the best spots. I can't remember but I don't think we talked about much. We just people watched the entire time.

We decided being 21 and all that it was time to pull our first slot. We looked like total first timers roaming the casino. Who knew you don't put a quarter in anymore? Geez that was embarrassing. Sadly we did not win anything.



a little serendipity if you will.

Then to California we went. It was a little colder than we had anticipated. We headed to LA for the first day, and low and behold who do we see but Mario Lopez in all his glory. He is even better in person. Those dimples? stop it Mario. Then to top it off that afternoon we indulged in the Oh so nummy Sprinkles! IF you are ever in LA and have a sweet tooth, please, please, please go to sprinkles.

To end the day my Sister-in-Law Gay took us to Katsuya. We get all ready to go hop in my car, and BAM... Oops that was the babysitters car. SO embarrassing. Gay goes in and I'm sure the convo went something like this. "So bad news... we just hit this prius. Oh so thats yours then? Well shoot we got ya then. Would you mind pulling it forward so we can move? Thanks." Luckily she was super chill. Phew. Back to dinner, so It's this Sushi place with the coolest bathrooms you have ever seen in your entire life. It honestly was one of the best meals I have ever eaten. EVER. We ate as if tomorrow would never come. Yep we ate that much and more.

Really?

There was mirrors everywhere.

Then a random asain lady would pop up in the mirror. Which explains my face. What a creppy thing that was.

The next day we had big plans, but due to the weather they didn't really happen. It was chilly! So we decided shopping would be fitting. 3rd street Promenade? Don't mind if we do. Needless to say we went into our first store and 30 min into it we were done. I was burnt out of shopping. It was a long day full of bad decisions on my part. I thought driving back to sprinkles would hit the spot. Well traffic didn't agree with me so that was cool. Traffic followed me everywhere I went. Everywhere!

We decided that we left Utah to find the sun, and since it wasn't shining where we were, we would go find it. We left the next morning in search of blue skies. We made it to Barstow before we needed a refill on DC and food. We ended up staying there for probably 2 hours just basking in the sun. Chipotle chips and guac, you complete me. I can't explain how nice it was not having one thing in the world to do and no where to be. Give me a diet coke, the sun, and my best friend and you have one happy Chelsi.

This trip was exactly what I needed. Way too much Diet Coke and treats made for a great road trip. Its also nice having your best friend and Justin Biebs to entertain you. So many funny times. Let me just take this opportunity to publicly apologize to the innocent Asian pedestrian that I almost ran over. I promise I didn't see you running your heart out on that cross walk. Luckily the police man saw me and pulled me over shortly after. He made sure I hadn't been drinking. I don't blame him. I'm terribly sorry and I hope your not scarred for life like myself.

Staying at the budget in could not have been more fun. I was skeptical at first but it was great. This picture say's it all...



 We have been talking about this trip for years. I know that this was the only opportunity that we would have to do this trip. I'm so glad it was a success. Sorry for the picture overload. I never post pics so I decided what the hay. Lets do this.
