This year for spring break, I did travel alone.. again.

A group of photo students decided to make the trip out to San Francisco. I love that city, it is by far my favorite. I decided to join them since Cody couldn't go due to work. It was so much fun I have to say!

Here are some pictures from the trip..


A friend of mine Amber Weimer took this lovely photo of me.. This was at the Baker Beach.

Sheena, Kayli, Amber and I at Point Reyes Lighthouse.. We were giving our sexy faces..


Amber and I after the 30 story climb down to the lighthouse.. and yes incase you were wondering the hike up was much worse.



Highlight of the trip.. The others drove, I flew out and met them there. On our way back from Point Reyes National Park the van started to make odd noises when we would brake. We kinda worried. We stopped and checked things out, we thought it was just the bumper rubbing the tire, but after a bit of electrical tape and another go at the road, no such luck the noise was still around. So we stopped and took off the tires to check out the brakes since it happened when braking. We found a fun surprise. The driver side brake pad had lost its bolt on the bottom and the pad wasn't clamping down when we braked. After using google maps, thank heavens for an iphone, Brandon (a teacher at UVU) and I hopped in the other car and headed to the nearest town a mile away looking for bolts. We found a little repair shop in town that was still open. We walked in to find 2 older men drinking beers and laughing it up. I figured that maybe if I flirted a little they would be nice and help us. So I acted all part retarded like I didn't know what I was doing and sure enough the old man fell for it!! He got up and helped us find 2 bolts which was perfect to help us get the pads on again. When brandon asked him how much we owed him he turned and looked at me and I just smiled. He didn't charge us and I told him I would tip with a smile, I sent him a quick one with a wink and then high tailed it out of there. I was afraid he was going to follow me.. We got repaired up and on our way 2 hours later.. blah. But it was a fun adventure..

The day I was supposed to come home was yet another adventure for me. I flew out there and didn't want to ride 12 hours in a van to get home so I flew home too. I left a day before the group did so I could make the open flights. I left the hotel at 7:00am that morning and walked 1 1/2 miles to the nearest BART station. I hopped on and rode into the San Francisco International Airport. I was trying to catch the flight that left at 10:00am. I waited and waited until everyone boarded, since I flew standby I had to wait to see if there was an open seat. Turns out it was full, I talked to the gate agent to see about the flight that left at 1 and he said they were all over sold by 2 the rest of the day. I didn't want to get stuck so I called Cody at home and had him look at flights in Oakland. They had a few openings. So I ran to the BART again, got eaten by the escalator (it ate part of the sole of my shoe and ripped some skin) and rode an hour and a half to Oakland Airport. I arrived about 45 minutes before the first flight left. I waited again only to find out that it was full and I would have to wait until the 4:55pm flight to make it home. I was starving at this point, it was 1pm. I sat down in a chili's and ate lunch alone and then went exploring in the airport. I decided to take some pictures since that is what I do and this was the result of my exploring the Oakland Airport. I walked as slow as I could in every terminal and waited for things to be empty to take some of these pictures. After spending 9 hours on the BART and in airports I finally got on the 4:55pm flight and made it home. To see more pictures from my journey click here. It was a long journey but a fun one to say the least.
