Michelle Does California...Day 4

Saturday was Michelle's last full day here before she had to fly back to Seattle, so I had to make sure she got the full Southern California tour. That morning we got up really early and headed into downtown Los Angeles to go to the Garment District and look for some good deals. Every Saturday the merchants have a street fair where all of their clothes are REALLY cheap (like $5 for jeans). It was quite the cultural experience. I had never been and I am pretty sure that I was the only white girl and by far the only blond there. I LOVED IT! Everyone was speaking Spanish and Korean and the air was filled with the smell of wonderful Mexican food.


After we spent some time in Downtown, we headed north up to The Getty Museum. For those of you who have not been I highly recommend it. For one its free (well, besides parking which is only $10). And Secondly it is absolutely beautiful. It was SO cold that day, well cold for LA, but sunny. We toured the whole museum and enjoyed the view.

After the Getty we drove all the way back to Orange County in order to partake in the magical experience that is Medieval Times! My friend Jackie and her fiance Ian came with us and we had the best time. You can never go wrong with grown men in tights playing make believe for all to see.



So one of the best things about Medieval Times is that you are not allowed to use silverware! We got to eat giant pieces of chicken with our bare hands as well as ribs and potatoes. The chicken was about the size of my head! Michelle is a vegetarian and luckily they have a vegetarian option which was pretty good too. But lets be honest, nothing beats the giant piece of chicken. :0)


All four of us enjoying our trip back in time...Hazah!

Jackie's Getting Married!

Jackie is the first real friend I made at APU upon transferring there my sophomore year. We met within the first day of my being there, she was an alpha leader with my roommate and we just hit it off. I spent most of my time that first semester at Jackie's place which happened to be right across the street. :) She has been a wonderful friend these past 6 years.

Over Christmas she got engaged to her boyfriend and just this past weekend she asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding (if any of you are keeping track this will be wedding #6). I am so excited for her and am really looking forward to watching her and Ian get married. Congratulations Jackie!
