Today I leave home for Michigan. I had a nice vacation and some good times. We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific which is awesome, by the way. ONe of the reasons it's so unique is because you can touch rays and small sharks as well as feeding lorikeets (for a nice $2 fee which is well worth it). You could literally spend an entire day there and enjoy every minute of it. I got some cool pics on my phone and my dad took some cool pics as well. I will try to get some onto myspace.com.
Also, we went to the famous Venice Beach. I managed to get some cute shoes that I liked. I already had a pair in red but I got a pair in black and was very exicted that I found them. The funniest part of the day was when I was looking at purses. I saw a style I liked but didn't want to really pay 20 dollars for it. The guy told me he would drop it down to 15 because he liked my smile. Then I was just like "I don't need it that badly." So he put it in a bag and told me 12 with no tax. Still thinking this was a bit too much I handed the bag back to him again saying that I didn't need it that badly. Then he gave me this story about how his rent was past due and went down to ten. So I looked at him and said "you will give this to me for 10 with no tax?" He said yes so I gave him the ten dollars. Now I have the "latest" style of Gucci in an imitation version. I must admit the purse is in excellent condition and I'm glad I got the price so low. Yay for me being a white girl with money! Lol. No, I'm not racist but it was just funny because I know the colored guy was thinking "this must be a stupid rich white girl." But I'm no fool. I know how to get my deals. Lol.
Well, I'm off to eat breakfast. My plane leaves late this evening so I probably won't be on till sometime on Sunday.
