This past week I have been on the most amazing vacation of my entire existence. SAN DIEGO! I know my existence has been pretty dull up to now, but that is not the point. After 12 hours of driving last week we made it to the amazing, warm, and beautiful city of San Diego, California. Words cannot describe how stoked I was for this vacation. 1. It was right after finals week, 2. It was my first time in California. Plus, who doesn't want to see a sea lion? Even though I did not come back any tanner I still consider the trip an immense success. So, some highlights? We went to Sea World, of course, and saw Shamu and some sea lions, polar bears, penguins, a walrus (which are basically large blobs of fat and have disproportionately small heads), and an otter! I want an otter now. I think I kind of also want a walrus but mostly because that much fat on one creature is disgustingly cool. I pet a stingray, that was pretty sweet. We went to the ocean which was incredibly cool, in the figurative and literal sense, it was freezing and I did not get in. I biked 24 miles-the most terrible 24 miles of my life. Apparently the word leisure means death defying acts of horrible exercise in my "family". I'm pretty sure I shaved a few years off my life expectancy. We found this cute little ice cream shop called the Baked Bear. They make custom made ice cream sandwiches that are amazing! Come on, I had to make up for those calories I lost riding 24 miles somehow, right? And to top it all off we drove the 12 hours to get home slept the rest of the night and then my "dad" and I went wakeboarding the next day. Wakeboarding, in Utah, in May...sane people don't attempt things like that. Good thing we aren't sane! It was the cherry on top of the most perfect vacation. I'm super grateful for a "family" that can show me such a great time, and even more grateful to have their love and support.
