Spring Break 2015

Okay, I know this is a little late. That seems to be the theme of my life. But it's better late than never, right?

I had decided during winter semester that I wasn't going to go home for spring break this year. It's just not worth it when you don't have any friends there anymore. And I just spent a good 3.5 months with my family. So I figured spring break would be spent in Utah with my BFF.

When I called to see if that was cool, she said we should go down to CA together. I was immediately on board. Our plan was to just go for four days. We ended up being there for a week. I'm not complaining. It was much needed.

So here's to the spring break we never had!

The way down wasn't bad, but maybe because we were going so fast? I never knew Hill was such a speed demon. You learn something new every day...

We planned to go to Glen Ivy Hot Springs, but when we got there it was PACKED. So it turned into BFF & Moms time. Manis and pedis. Lunch. Laying poolside. I was perfectly content with this.

I love getting to see some of my family I don't get to see very often. I had a blast playing with my little cousins and seeing my favorite. And of course lunch with the grandparents is always a good time, especially when your grandma wears zebra sunglasses.

The best part of CA: THE BEACH! Thank goodness we had such great weather. Nothing beats laying out, eating ice cream, and having teenage girl photo shoots with your BFF while at the beach. I got dumped that day, so this made it all better! Of course I'm still pasty white and don't expect to get my tan back any time soon... :(

Going home means eating out...ALOT! Idaho just doesn't have all of the restaurants and fast food places that I need to satisfy my cravings. It wouldn't be a successful trip without Islands, In N Out, and Chipotle. Let's be real, California is on top of their game when it comes to food.

The trip home was much too long. I'm not sure what was so painful about it, but we were both just so ready to get to Utah. Those 10 hours felt like 20. And then I sill had four more until Rexburg. So I arrived back home at 4 am.

I'm so grateful I was able to go home for a week, spend time with my BFF and our families, and catch some sun. It really was the perfect trip.
