Spring Break Session #1

My roommates, Brooks and Grant, and I set out last Friday for what shall from this moment forward be called a monumental roadtrip. 

We hit the road at 4am on friday and drove 17 hours to Phoenix where we stayed with some friends. Then we woke up the next morning and drove to the Grand Canyon. Once we got to the canyon, we camped for one night and woke up early to see the sun rise over the canyon. 

After the Grand Canyon, we drove to Las Vegas, where we spent two nights in the Monte Carlo hotel and casino on the strip. Let's just say this: the house always wins :(

This morning, we woke up and hit the road once again and headed towards Los Angeles, where we will be for the next two days. We drove in and went immediately to Laguna Beach, where we watched a beautiful sunset over the pacific ocean.

Here are some pictures to document our trip thus far:

I have REALLY missed Dayna on this trip!

Our hotel in Vegas...nice place

The house always wins....jerks.


Sunset in Laguna Beach, CA


Grant saw some dolphins and wanted to chase them...but he chickened out at the last minute.


Overall, this has been an incredible trip that I will never forget!
I have taken 460 pictures so far, so these are only a small sample of our trip!

here's to another 5 days of spring break!

Thanks for sharing your pictures. There's nothing like the Grand Canyon! I, too, liked the one with the Dayna sign. I said "Ahhhhhhhhh" out loud when I saw it.

It looks like you are having such fun - I'm jealous! I'm so happy that you will always have these memories with your roommates. Your photos are incredible and I'm looking forward to hearing the "long version" of the story and seeing all 460 pictures! Love you!
