Week in California

I went home last week to California for a summer trip before school starts and took Ben along with me. We had so much fun! Here's a summary on what we did...

We went to the beach a ton and spent a lot of time trying to get better at surfing. Ben was out there for several hours at a time! He definitely out lasted me.

We went shooting with my brother Tyler andd my dad, which me and Ben both love to do. We went to Coronado Island, Lajolla Cove, Old Town San Diego, Newport, and Huntington!

We did some shopping, mainly for Ben since I have no money, but I loved shopping for him too. We ate some good mexican food which I always do when I go home. My mom told us about this place in Old Town San Diego called Coyote Cafe and it was amazing.

We went and saw Ben's Mom's old house in Newport Beach where she grew up, it was a really cool neighborhood. I would have LOVED to lived that close to the beach.

On Sunday the whole family went to church and had a delicious dinner afterwards made by my mom. I got to see my nephew who I wish I could see more often, I love that little guy.

On Sunday evening my Dad let Ben take me for a ride on his Motorcycles and we both LOVED that.

We actually spent a few hours in Compton visitng a friend of Ben's from his Mission...It was really weird to see houses with metal fences completely surrounding them and windows all barred up!

We also went to West Coast Choppers, which was really cool and Ben hopes to have a custom chopper someday so he loved it.

It was such a nice week and I'm so glad I got to see my family and spend so much time with Ben. Thank goodness for vacations!!! Here's some pictures from the trip...
