*Just Being Us*: Honeymoon in California and the Big Scary Ocean.

Our honeymoon was the best! We had so much fun and saw a lot of weird crazy things. California is also very weird. They don't have a welcome sign at all and the road signs are in kilometers so we didn't feel welcome and had no idea how much farther we had to go. It was quite a trip. We drove forever and when we got there we decided to go to the ocean after checking into our hotel. It was so pretty, but creepy cuz we were almost the only white people there. Yeah for minority. Haha. It was the first time I had seen the ocean so I was very excited and loved it- til the next day when I had to get in then it scared me. I will tell you all about that in a second. After seein the ocean we went to target for some food and to Little Cesaers for pizza. We found them with the help of the little garmin gps. That thing is amazing! We decided we had to get one after driving to cali cuz we would have been lost.

The next day we went to the Ocean and played around there. I was so excited to go back to the beach! It was all sunny at our hotel and warm then we went to the ocean and it was overcast and windy. What a difference. We put down our towels and our bag and went to play in the ocean. It was freezing! Jace kept pulling me in deeper and deeper and the dang big waves kept pushing me around cuz I don't weigh enough. I just held on tight to Jace and screamed like a little girl. Then I got brave for some dumb reason and let go of Jace for a little bit and a couple big waves went over my head and i swear the world was ending. After that i left the great big ocean to sit on my towel in the overcast windy weather. I shivered for a while and asked Jace to please take me to the hot tub at the hotel. We took some pictures then left. It was nice to be in the calm water of the hot tub but the ocean was fun too.

On Wednesday we decided to go see the Queen Mary and go on a Sea Life Cruise. We drove the Pacific Coast Highway to Long Beach and had tons of fun there. We have no idea what the Queen Mary did and why you can tour her but you can. The Russian sub did something too but we don't know what either. When we get bored one day we may research it. Our sea life cruise was awesome. We had so much fun. We saw a lot of dolphins, a few sea lions and some seals. We were on the ocean for about 3 and half hours and went about 15 miles out in the open ocean. It was quite windy but not too bad. The dolphins would swim right by the boat. They were so pretty. I took a lot of pictures of them but digital cameras are so slow that I got only a couple good pictures. The rest are splashes in the ocean. The sea lions were funny though. I guess they get in big groups and put one fin in the air to stay warm. Their fins get warm from the sun to warm them so they just floated around in the bay like that. We would recommend it to anyone if they have the chance to go.

Our honeymoon was great and we had so much fun. We were so happy we had the chance to go. We love vacations now and Garmin GPS's. Can't wait til we get ours.

Way to excited for our 6 hour drive to Cali.

So, since there is no welcometo California sign- dumb California-I thought I would take a picture of the first things that said California. I kinda missed. But I got the CA for California. At least Baker-the town that the watertower says- welcomed us. But I'm not so sure about the whole gateway to Death Valley thing.
