California Baby

If our little trip to Mesquite wasn't enough the next weekend we went to the Hair show in Long Beach! This was probably one of the most fun trips I've ever taken. After getting lost in the Ghetto and then staying in the Ghetto for three days..i would consider myself a street kid now! Just Kidding...i definitly learned that we take things for granted in good ol' Utah..however, it also kinda makes you wish we weren't so sheltered so that we didn't get such a culture shock when we visit these places.

Okay so at the start of our trip we were all gung ho chillin, ready to do the tourist thing...so I made Brooke stop in Baker so i could get i picture of the world's tallest thermometer...I know, I know i swore i would never be the type of person that stopped and took pictures of things like the worlds tallest thermometer..but in true tourist spirit I decided I'd better. And yes it actually tells what the temperature is! 
The next picture is of what I considered to be the biggest shock of all...you actually have to stop and get your car checked for fruit...you are not allowed to bring certain types of fruit into California...i thought that was bazar..who woulda thought?? Not me! So we then go to the beach..which was a little cold, but it makes sense cause it's by the water right? Well any way below are just some pics of us bein dumb at the beach...we went at night..and I sat my camera in the sand and pretty much broke my camera...yes i know a classic Alissa move. I loved California tho and i'm so glad a have friends like Brooke that are just as spontaneous and crazy as I am that she'll just pack up and head to Cali! I love ya Brookie Doo!
        






Mesquite Hairshow





So me and Brooke took a trip to the hair show in Mesquite and we had such i good time!! We learned  to swing dance with these guys here and we LOVED them they were so funny. We went with Brookes friend Shamra who is So Cute! i'm so glad i met her..we had a blast! The man me and Brooke are posing with was named Rick he was the sweetest old guy. I know you are all probably thinking what are you doing? But they weren't all old and perverted they were just old They reminded me of my grandpa!! We will definitly be making the Mesquite Hairshow a tradition. There's nothing like some good old fashioned girls night out on the town to really refresh ya and just give you that little mini vacation that you need!
