What do you do when you have free flights that need to be used? Travel somewhere where you can continue to be cheap and stay with friends for free, of course! Thankfully we have good friends in fun places like LA.
Amidst graduation, packing, the cross country move, and beginning work we didn't plan a darn thing. Thankfully Chris and Erica were wonderful hosts and entertained us as much as they could.
We went to Laguna beach where the swell was so big that we got to watch a panicked lifeguard go in a few times after idiots who don't listen to his counsel.
Ryan learned that what's yours is also Hattie's.
I have never been to any Disney park and we figured because everything else had been free, it was time to splurge and hit up Disneyland and California Adventure.
We LOVED California Adventure and their life size recreation of Radiator Springs from Cars. Per Chris and Erica's recommendation we watched the movie the night before making the experience even better.
On our last day we had some time to kill so we went to the Dana Point Marina and enjoyed the ocean air.
And last but not least, we had to have a few meals at Cafe Rio.
This vacation actually felt like a real vacation. We slept like logs (and even slept in) and had enough to do but not too much. It was just what we needed before Ryan has to bury himself in textbooks studying for boards.
In case you were wondering, his boards are July 23 and he starts work August 1. Oh and I've been working back at the dorms where I lived and worked for 5 years as an RA and then Resident Director. It's just a summer gig for now but say a little prayer that I can stay permanently because I love working there!
