Choir Tour

I have been so busy with make up homework and Nursing School that I have barely had time to think. My blog has been very neglected, and I finally have the chance to post about the amazing trip I took two weeks ago to California.
It all started with an extremely lllllooooonnnnngggg bus ride. Luckily we stopped in St. George for the first night, but it still seemed like an eternity. I don't have any pictures of the bus ride to St. George, so I will just skip until we were there at our hotel :)

These are my cute roommies Jessica, Jessica, and Jerrica. I was kind of left out because my name starts with a K....

We were all so tired but it was so much fun to stay up and talk till 12:30 in the morning. We had to get up at 6:15 to go eat breakfast and load the buses by 8:30 for the even longer drive to Los Angelos.

This is Matt, Calais, and Matt on the bus.

We arrived at a college at about 3:00 that afternoon to go and do a singing clinic with a professor of music who worked there. Blah. Who wants to sing on Choir Tour?

Hannah, Jerrica, and I at the college.

After about 2 hours of that we got back on the bus to go to the BEACH!!! I absolutely loved this part of the trip. It was wonderful, even though it was terribly windy, as you can probably tell from the photos.

Oh it was gorgeous. Anyway, we were all practically famished by now, so we loaded the buses at about 6:30 p.m. to go to dinner. It was a 1 and a half our drive to Anaheim where we got to eat a late dinner at a buffet. It was so much fun. I just feel bad for the people who work at the buffet. They were bombarded by 200 starving high school kids all at the same time. HAH!

Danielle and me eating ice cream at the buffet. YUM.

Well, we finally got to head to our hotel after a very long day. We stayed at the Hilton Suites which by the way is AWESOME. I really want to stay there again with my family, it was very nice. I tried to take a picture of the inside, but it turned out really bad so here is the outside of it:


and me outside the hotel.....The next morning we all got our choir uniforms on to go sing at a competition called Music in the Parks. We were there until about 10:00 in the morning, waiting impatiently to go to Disneyland.

We left and arrived at the Disneyland Resort at about 11:00 a.m. Hallelujah! Ok here we go.. Day 1 of Disneyland (Actually we were in California Adventure most of the day):

Jerrica and Jessica waiting for the tram to take us to the park.

The theme at Disneyland this year is "Celebrate Today," so I took a picture of a sign that showed it :)

Jerrica and I on the tram. We were so excited.

Jessica, Jessie, Hannah, and Me

Awwww...... I just had to take a picture. The flash kind of ruined it, but I still love it!

During the day we went and saw Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular in California Adventures. This is us waiting in line for it.

At about 5:00 that night, we were required to go to the awards ceremony for Music in the Parks. It is really hard to see because I was literally in the VERY back. But our choir (A Capella) got first place! YAY!

Then we headed over to Disneyland for the rest of the night.

This is Jerrica and I in line for Pirates. This picture has nothing to do with anything, but I love it so I had to put it on.

That concludes Saturday at the Happiest Place on Earth. We headed back to our hotel at midnight, and we all collapsed in the hotel. Sunday morning those who wanted to went to church at 8:30 in the morning ( just sacrament meeting) which was really good. We were scheduled to go to the beach for 2 and a half hours that day, but those who wanted to could stay at the hotel and relax. Me, Jerrica, and Jessica chose to do this. I have never been so tired in my entire life, I am not kidding. I was utterly exhausted, so we stayed and slept the whole time :) Then we went to Universal Studios to go to dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company.

This is my dish. Fried Shrimp. It was so so so good!

On Monday we went back to Disneyland for the entire day. This time we spent the whole day in the Disneyland Park.

This is just outside of space mountain.

This one is pretty self explanatory.

Hannah and I on... yes we went on this ride by choice... its a small world.

Here is a video I took on Small world if you want to see it....

We ended the day with a wonderful Show of Fireworks.
It was seriously an incredible trip. I grew to appreciate the amazing friends that I have. It is so good to be home, but I will miss Cali until I go again.
