For this share and voice I decided to share my experience of visiting California! For spring break 2009 I decided to go Santa Barbara, California to visit my high school friend, Michael, who had moved there to attend college and to visit my brother Matt who also lives out there. While I was there we did many fun things. I got the chance to go to L.A., Hollywood, and Bel-Air. While in L.A. I went on a star search and got to see many celebrities houses like Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Richie, Bob Barker, Lauren Conrad (LC), Dr.Phil, David Beckham, and many more. My goal was to see at least one star and I ended up seeing 2, Joan Rivers and America Ferrera (Sister Hood of the Traveling Pants). Some other fun things we did were went whale watching, visited piers, attended a street dance, and toured the college in Santa Barbara. It was crazy to see how different their environment is from Minnesota's! California has some of the most beautiful scenery from the beaches to the mountains. While there we hiked in the mountains where there had just been a forest fire, went for daily runs, and even rode bikes through downtown Santa Barbara-which I do not know if I could do again. If you did not know California has some of the craziest drivers. Anyways, I had the best time so if you ever get the chance to take a trip, go to California you will love it! Below I posted some pictures from my trip. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteAlicia, it sounds like you had an absolute blast while visiting California. I've never been to California but would like to go someday. The pictures you posted are very cool and the Fresh Prince picture was way cool! I'm glad that you met your goal and got to see some celebrities. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post Alicia! I am so jealous! I have always wanted to go on a trip to California and just haven't gotten the chance yet (aka no money haha). It's amazing how many celebrity's houses you got to see! It sounds like your trip was absolutely packed with tons of fun things to do. Thanks for sharing the pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh that's so cool! Now I have the Fresh Prince song stuck in my head! I have never really had an interest in visiting either of the coasts but you seemed to have a really good time and experience a lot of things that many other people do not get to do. Love the pictures too!
