hey guys :)
today was awesome, even though my feet hurt like hell after a day of walking in super uncomfortable heels :S bought two new pairs of shoes, and a dress/jacket kind of thingy from roxy, pretty cool xD
watched up in 3d!
:))
loveeeeed that because of more reasons than just the movie.
so let's go back to my tripppp ;P
6. moab
ooh we went whitewater rafting here, instead of going to canyonlands national park. my sis and i were really tired of the same scenes, so my mom decided to give us a break. :D my cousins couldn't go cuz my uncle didn't let them, so they had to go there instead xD it wasn't really rafting because most of the time we were just floating. but it was a huge boat, and after lunch i got to kayak all the way till the ending point. :) we made new friends, joe and julie duty. they're pretty cool, especially joe, he's like this professional photography guy. if the boat tipped, he'd save the camera first before his wife xDD there were a few fast parts, but not as much as the upper part. i think we did the middle part; we had the longest fast part but not many others. but the scenery was beautiful, and it looked so much more breathtaking from the bottom of the canyon, because that way you can see the full size of it.
7. arches national park
we went here after rafting, which was around 7, 8 ish, after dinner time. sunset <3
absolutely stunning, it took my breath away. you almost always get the best pictures at sunset or sunrise, all the shadows, and the lights and the different way you see things because of those things. i just can't describe it, there's just something so extraordinary and other worldly about it :) we didn't see much arches, just a few because it was pretty late and we didn't want to drive in the dark so we didn't go to the furthest sight. there actually wasn't any point in going there since one of the biggest arches collapsed like last year or something, which is a shame. strange, how these things happen.
8. gooseneck
this was just a stop-by too. was kinda scary, looking over from the edge to down below. the shape is actually pretty clear, though my grandmother said it looked more like a snake neck than a gooseneck. :P weird. hahaha its so funny, i used all the things i learned in geo on the trip, because there's so many things that you can use the knowledge on xDD
9. monument valley
ah i remember this because we stayed in my mom's dream house :) you can only sorta see the canyon from the windows, but it was good enough. pretty big, which is what i like :D the other reason why i remember this very clearly is because i woke up at like 6 in the morning to take a picture of the sunrise with my mother, and then went straight back to sleep!! hahahahaha. i think i was like half asleep, but i still knew what i was doing. i fell back to sleep but my mother couldn't, so she stayed awake until 8 xD
10. lake powell
WE EACH GOT TO DRIVE A SPEEDBOAT. IT WAS SO COOL :D but they don't call it speedboats, they call it something like a power boat or something. so awesome. i even saw people wake boarding on the back of the boat, and i really wanted to go :( lol, we just spent 2 hours driving around probably half of the lake.
but it was so worth it :D
11. grand canyon
don't have anything to say about this because i didn't even get off the car to see it xD super boring, super hot outside and i was so tired. i didn't even think there was anything good about it, let alone why its such a famous landmark in america :S arches national park was so much better.
12. zion national park - horseback riding
i think this is the place where i watched like 2 hours of dr. phil cuz there was nothing else to watch on tv and my sis and i didn't feel like hiking to see stuff. my mom, uncle and grandma went instead. dr. phil is weird. too serious, creeped me out a little xD we also went horseback riding here, my butt hurt so much after like 15 minutes lol.
13. las vegas
VENETIAN <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
CHRIS BROWNNN :)
lalalala this place was super cool, daniel almost got lost in the casino i had to drag him all the way to the elevators. my sis and my mom went to see the phantom of the opera while i stayed in the hotel room and "baby sat" my cousins. how fun. we watched family guy, so inappropriate for a 6 year old xD
14. los angeles
ah hollywood :) universal studios. the tour was pretty cool, other than that it held no interest for me. i don't really enjoy amusement parks as much as other people seem to :( oh well. the beach was gorgeous, too bad it was FREEZING. and i wore shorts xD
i just sat in the car.
heh.
and then we went back to san fran :)
fun ♥
