february break...
friday night-charlies party. very awesome indeed, except at the end when there was a blackout which was actually kinda cool. i think me and emily got along, which is pretty awesome. happy birthday steve-o, who of course the party was for. mike came which was very cool cause he liked everyone and that made me very happy. and for those who arent atuned to my craziness, i think i fell on the floor laughing like 25 times.
saturday-woke up real early, after my nice 4 hours of sleep and packed. then we went to the airport. jfk is hot. i really like it cause its all pretty and theres always tons of construction. dont ask me why, i just love that airport. so then were waiting there FOREVVVEERRR. i mean literally, my grandpa dropped us off like 3 hours early. we took a plane to minneapolis, minnesota. the most boring place ive ever been. so were there for like 20 minutes, and we jump on our plane to pheonix,arizona.
once were in pheonix, we go to my uncle jon and aunt tinas house. slappy (their pug) is going berserk.
sunday-were sitting around talking really early in the morning, cause im jet lagged, and my aunt says: hey lets go to mexico,nogales is realy close. so my mom and i are game. we jump in her cute little audi and off we go south a couple hundred miles. once in nogales (on the american side) we park the car, and walk across the border into mexico. once we were there, it was like a different world, only 10 feet away from us soil. so we shopped, and i ordered a margarita at lunch but it tasted like crap. so we walked around and for a few hours, and headed back to their house.i ♥ the sonoran desert
monday-began our crazy roadtrip. we drove north for a real long time, and it rained, and we got to the hoover dam, and nevada. it is huge, and really high up which made me uncomfortable. we drove alot more and VIVA LAS VEGAS! drove up and down the strip, and ended up at the paris hotel where we were staying with an incredible view of the dancing water at the bellagio. so we hung around and then had dinner at the buffet which was ridiculous, i ate like 6 courses and had 2 desserts, i easily could have exploded. we walked around a little and then hung around int he bellagio watching the dancing water. the real fun was at the mgm grand where we saw Ka cirque de soliel. it was AWESOME. so good, the set was incredible, but it was alot of baton twirling and very little aerial. with that, i promptly passed out when we got back to the hotel at 130 in the am.
tuesday-the second half of our extreme roadtrip. we drive and drive till we cross over the hoover dam again and just keep going till we get to that big hole in the ground the grand canyon. it was really crappy weather and cause of all the rain its all green, but we saw enough, and it was so beautiful. it wad mad high, and it made me dizzy. so after that we hit up flagstaff a few hours southeast of the grand canyon and had lunch. after which my mom and i checked out some cheezy western stores and headed back to pheonix.
wednesday-lots of time OUTSIDE the car. we hiked around in the white tank mountains and then took the dog for a spin around the lake near my uncles house. mostly i sat on my butt and relaxed. it was finally sunny out too. i watched alot of tv and relaxed cause i mean, it was vacation.
thursday- more driving to scotsdale. there we went to taliesin, west the frank lloyd wright house (he built the guggenheim) and took a tour. its actually still an art school, but its like a creepy commune art school. kinda reminded me of a hardcore long lake for grown ups. then we went shopping in the "roosevelt field" of arizona. apparently this place is considered the beverley hills of the south west. really it was a beautiful mall with amazing stores, but white trash girls were everywhere and it was kinda skeevy.
friday-we left pheonix :( and headed home. we made a stop in detroit, michigan and then back to jfk, and finally to my silly pink house.
