Our school is out adventure! Finals were over, the semester done! We decided to take a week off and run away to California! We left Sunday May, 2nd and didn't come back until the following Sunday. It was such a great week!
The trip started out a little rough. See, the truck we were supposed to take is usually used for a trucking route over the weekend. We informed the driver that we were taking that truck and he needed to take a different one, that was designated for him. Well he forgot because when we went to pick the truck and trailer up from MaxWay, the truck was gone. A long story short, we had to drive the right truck 3hrs to pick up our truck. Adding 3hrs to an already 12hr drive was not our idea of fun. We finally were able to being our drive to sunny San Diego at 10am (instead of 730 like we planned). Everything was going smoothly and the drive was great... Until we got to the California/Nevada. We hit a dead stop in traffic. We forgot about everyone heading back to Cali after a weekend in Vegas. So that added another 2hrs to our trip. In all our drive ended up being 17hrs, but we finally made it :)
Monday we went to Sea World! I had never been and I am so glad that we went. It was awesome! We saw the Shamu show, the sea lion and otter show, all the fish and everything else. Since it was a Monday there were not very many people there. The best part I think was feeding and petting the Dolphins. It was so cool, they are dry and rubbery feeling and really as playful as they seem! We also went to the beach, it was freezing cold so we just walked along the shore line and enjoyed the view.
Tuesday we slept in a little bit because we were exhausted. Then went to Tijuana, Mexico. I had never been there either so I was excited and a little nervous. It was NOT what we expected. Our bad economy has really affected them as well. The area that used to be full of shops was pretty much gone. There were only about 12 shops right on the other side of the border, so we had to cross a little farther into the city. We ended up getting some pretty great stuff. I bought 3 purses and Taylor bought: 2 belt buckles, 1 knife, 3 shirts, and 2 watches. We were pretty happy. That night I was able to fulfill one of my life long dreams... We went to a major league baseball game. The Padres vs. the Colorado Rockies! It was so fun, we had great seats, great food, and a great game. The Padres won the game in the bottom of the ninth. A perfect ending.
Wednesday, we got up really early and drove more to LA. We went to the Price is Right! It is fun
to say we have been but it was a lot different then we thought it was going to be. The studio is TINY! I couldn't believe it! Also, they want you cheering the whole time so you can't hear a thing that is going on! It is really fun experience and it would be amazing to be on the show but it is a long day to not get on. It ends up being about a 6hr day after all the waiting and interviewing and etc.
Thursday, we had to work. We drove back to San Diego and went to go preview the bikes for the following day. Taylor did all the previewing and I just sat and took notes for him. After we were done we went to see the movie Date Night. It was funny but not as great as we thought it should be. It didn't help that it was just Taylor and I and then some weird old guy in the theater. haha
Friday was the auction. We went in with a plan and it went great. Taylor was able to pick up 12 cruisers! They are beautiful bikes! If you are interested in riding, now is the time to get a beautiful cheap motorcycle. We were done pretty early because the cruisers go first. We loaded up and then went to see how the bullet bikes were doing. They were still to high to buy so we just left, we were already happy with the load we got. We didn't have enough room in the trailer so we had to send a couple bikes home with someone else. Then we headed to Vegas!
Friday night and Saturday we played in Vegas. We went shopping and played a little poker. We swam and ate and had a wonderful end to our weekend!
