SPRING BREAK 2009

This year's Spring Break was not exactly what I was hoping for, but it was still fun. I worked the beginning of the week and requested off Thursday through Sunday. On Thursday I went with Matt and his dad to Nelson's Landing at Lake Mead to go fishing. Well we soon discovered, after arriving, that there are not many fish to be caught in Lake Mead. So, Matt and I just hiked around and explored while his dad hiked around too. That night, I went and saw the Fast and the Furious 3. It was actually really good.

Friday morning, Matt, Jen, Preston, Josh, and I left Vegas at 8 am to head down to Southern California. We went to Laguna Beach when we got there and ate at BJ's since I get my discount there. The boys played basketball while Jen and I people watched. We checked in at the Hyatt, where we stayed, and then decided to go to a Clippers game. When we got down to the Staples Center, though, the cheapest tickets were 90 dollars a piece! So, we ended up going to Hollywood and walking around. It was fun, but felt like the longest day of my life since we had been in the car most of the day.

Saturday Morning we found out the Angels vs. Red Sox game was at 1pm instead of 7pm. I mixed that time up with the Padres game. Jen and I really wanted to go to the beach so we opted to go to a beach on the way to San Diego and go to the Padres game that night. We went to Oceanside, since it was on the way and it was probably the worst beach to go to. There was tar on the beach and we all either got it stuck to our feet or shoes. The boys played frisbee while Jen and I tanned, then we headed up to San Diego for the game. We wanted to eat before the game so we didn't have to pay a ton for food in the stadium. I called Kara and told her we were going to be eating at Subway, down the street from Petco Stadium. She told me she wanted to come see me after she found out she no longer had to work. It was so much fun getting to see her and Hallie. After I said goodbye to them, we headed the game and stayed til the 7th inning. After the game we headed home and got back to Vegas at 2:30am.
