Awesome Vacation Day 4 & 5

We woke up and went to Torrey Pines in San Diego:


to go on a mini-hike!


Along the way we saw dangerous sand dunes (not really)...


...and beautiful views


Happy mini hikers on top of the mini mountain:


We also visited the visitor's center and I played with the finger puppets:


And enjoyed the view again:


And on our way down, Charles was running to get into this picture and completely fell over:


Which way to the beach???


The descent to the beach (yikes) It was high tide but we decided to go anyway:


Trying not to fall on top of each other as we go down:


Almost there!


Walking along the beach and the cliffs:



We get out to this area that has some rocks sticking out of the ocean. But the path to get there is partially covered by waves so it's like playing real life super mario!


Keith was the first to make it:


Some people stayed behind because they didn't want to get wet:


On our way back:


Somehow Hansen managed to stay dry the entire time:


And we found a rock that looked like a face. Man-made or natural? What do you think?:


Then some people decided to climb the lifeguard tower:


Some people had more trouble than others:


Then we all went to Roberto's to have lunch (mmm Mexican food):


Then we went to YogurtWorld for more ice cream:


And then walked around downtown SD and stopped by the Ghirardelli store where their tables were giant Ghirardelli squares :D


A few of us then tried on sunglasses at Oakley:


Charles trying to be a penguin (look, the penguins are so tiny...):


We also stopped by the harbor to look at the sailboats:


Eugene being a monkey:


For dinner we had a bonfire on the beach!


Bryan roasted 6 sausages on the same stick:


Later that night we drove home to LA and wiped out. The next morning Charles left for the airport and we picked up Smeri. Then the boys stayed home and played video games while Clare, Meri and I did jump runs on the beach:


The end :)

Awesome Vacation Day 3

First, let's play a matching game: Match the calves with their respective owners (please do not guess if you're one of the four guys in the picture)! The guys are, in alphabetical order: Bryan, Charles, Eugene, Keith. First one to guess correctly wins a round of applause from me.


A pic of Keith and the ladies on a porch swing on our deck:


We head over to Hermosa Beach because that's where Keith says all the ladies are. A few people go running on the beach and then we all play some beach volleyball! Our mom took a group picture of us but Charles had wandered off somewhere, so we dubbed him our Grandpa because he kept leaving us.


And then cover Keith in sand:


For lunch we go to Onami which is this Japanese sushi and seafood buffet. We all stuffed our faces... mmm... they also had a disturbingly bright green ice cream that was supposed to be green tea ice cream. I didn't try it because it was so weird looking =P


Btw, we had all bought matching t-shirts in Hollywood to commemorate this awesome vacation. Haha some people were more excited than others to wear them though:


Charles and Bryan playing around while we're filling up on gas on our way to San Diego to visit Sluts!:


On our way down we stop by at the San Juan Capistrano Mission. However the admission price was $9 with no student discounts so we decided to forgo that


And instead go to the llama farm!!!


...to kiss...

...and feed the llamas!


Ok it was really a petting zoo that had llamas in it but it's much more fun to call it a llama farm. Us at the llama farm (right after this picture was taken the llama behind Wuisiew started eating her hair.. haha):


Then we finally made our way to Sluts' house! This is her in her hammock in the backyard - don't you love California in the winter? :)


This is me and Bryan on her tiny couch:


And this is a picture of a picture of Sluts when she was little (isn't she adorable?!):


And this is Keith playing with random things in Sluts' room!


And this is me with her coca cola polar bear! (I don't think Sluts has still recovered from us invading her space.. haha):


And then we decided to take a picture, prom style, on her staircase in all of our matching Hollywood shirts (Eugene is trying to hide behind the light):


Then we settle in for an exciting game of Wii Super Mario (Wuisiew is sad because she lost the rosham to be the first 4 to play):


Then her parents make us yummy burritos for dinner:


Yay San Diego!! :D
(Don't forget to play the calves matching game!)
