Fall is Coming

I am so excited because Fall is on its way. I am starting to feel it in the air and it feels wonderful. The mornings are finally starting to slightly cool down and it is so refreshing. The rodeo is coming to town this weekend and it will be so much fun! I can't wait to start decorating for fall and Halloween! I am also so excited for the beginning of the Holiday season. My family is coming to visit for Thanksgiving and everyday it gets one step closer, and I am getting so excited, I just can't stand it! Anyways, Fall is coming.....YAY!

On our second day in California we decided to take a drive up the Pacific Coast Highway to Hollywood. It was a fun drive, we got to see some cool sites on the way up there. When we finally got to LA we saw the LA Temple which was cool. We stopped and had lunch at a little burger place in West Hollywood and the burgers were delicious. After lunch, we went and parked at Hollywood Blvd. and walked a little bit of the Hollywood walk of fame. It was so cool to see all the stars on the sidewalk. We also went and saw the famous Chinese theater with all the cement squares with celebrities hand and foot prints, and we also saw the Kodak Theater where the Academy Awards are held. It was way cool. After seeing all that stuff, we took a tour through Beverly Hills and Hollywood. It was fun! We got in a big van with a bunch of other people and the tour guide took us down Sunset Blvd. and showed us all the hot spots and then to Beverly Hills and showed us a bunch of actors and actresses homes. We saw the homes of Will Smith, the Beckhams, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Sylvestor Stallone, and many others. One really cool house we saw was the Playboy Mansion, and as we pulled up to the mansion, a black Bentley pulled out of the driveway and Kendra was in it. It was funny! Also on the tour, we got to stop and walk down Rodeo Drive, which was awesome! I wish I could have gone shopping but it was a little out of my price range, haha. After Hollywood, we went back to Newport and drove down to the Balboa Pennisula. We had dinner on the pier at a little pizza shop then walked up the pier and Dallen and Jeff rode the Ferris Wheel. After walking the pier, we got on the ferry and road it across the bay. Overall, it was an amazing day and it was something I have always wanted to do! It was great!

Guy riding a 12 foot unicycle

We left for Cali early Friday morning and got to Newport in the afternoon and we headed to the beach. It was amazing! I fell in love with Newport, with the beach, all the cute shops, the cute beach houses, and especially all the bike cruisers. I want to get my own cruiser to ride around St. George instead of spending so much money on gas. While at the beach we tested out the water, which was freezing, found a few sea shells, and then walked along the pier. It was awesome! After the beach, we went back to the hotel and got ready for dinner. We drove up to Huntington Beach and had dinner at a Hawaiian Grill on the main street by the pier. After dinner we headed down the pier. While on the pier we watched a guy do some awesome tricks on a unicycle. He even road a 12 foot unicylce. It was cool. We also watched a couple of guys surfing in the dark, they were crazy! Overall, it was an amazing day.
