Spring Break 2011

This year for spring break I went to Los Angeles with my grandparents. It was really fun. I got there on Saturday at 3pm, that evening we went to see my great aunt at her assisted living place. It was the first time I met her so I didn't really know what to expect. She is kind of scary because she's 80 years old an yells at everyone. And it's even weirder cause she doesn't speak much English so I never know what shes saying and my grandpa has to translate. While I was there I went to Hollywood Blvd, went on a tour of the star's homes, went to Venice and Santa Monica beach, did alot of shopping, hung out with my family, went on a tour of NBC studios, went to Knott's Berry Amusement Park, went to Malibu and just relaxed. My favorite thing was going to Venice Beach. That beach is more of a people watching/shopping beach rather than a calm, relaxing beach. There were alot of skate parks there and it was cool to watch all of them skate. There were alot of cool, cheap shops too. There were about 7 places that sold "medical marijuana". In order to get it you have to be 18 and have a medical problem. But you could just go in there and say you have a migraine and they would give it to you, so it's not very hard to get. There were also alot of artists there selling cool stuff. My favorite thing was when they used palm leaves to weave into roses. But there were hobos, which was kind of depressing. But I'm really excited because I get to go there again this summer for a week and a half. California was definitely my favorite vacation(:
