Break Is Over :(

I had an awesome spring break in California! So not ready to get back into school work...

The main reason I went to CA was to look after my 5 year old cousin, Sasha, but I also got to spend a huge amount of time with my aunt, uncle, and grandma. Sasha has legg somethingsomethingsomething syndrome so she walks with a limp, and is in a lot of pain.

My grandma and I flew in Tuesday around 11:30, and were greeted at the airport by my Uncle John and Sasha. We drove around and saw where John works, where Sash goes to school, Ghiridelli Square, and the really crooked road. We went to a little cafe for lunch and met Anne (John's girlfriend) and played Life for a few hours... Sasha and I CLEANED HOUSE. It was really fun :)

On Wednesday, Nanny (grandma) and I were alone with Sash while John worked. We went to the Di Young musem and walked around until Sasha's leg hurt too much to keep going. It's a really cool museam... there's a sculpture garden with a really cool domeish thing that you go sit in. We put flowers in there and came back after lunch and they were all smushed to the ground :( We also went to the Japanese Tea Garden and it was beautiful. We had Jazzmine tea with these really spicy little cracker things that Sasha ate like candy and Nanny and I thought were REALLY hot...

Thursday we took Sasha to Pier 39 on the cable car... or I should probably say she took us.... We got kinda lost and had to call John for directions. Nancy had us all over for dinner and we moved camp to her house.

On Friday John drove us down to the Monterey Aquarium. It was really neat! The sea otters are amazing :) I also really liked the new sea horse exibit. We stopped at a nice beach to watch the sunset. It was a great day, but really tiring. We didn't get home until around 11:30.

Saturday we drove across the bridge and went hiking. Sasha was fine, and we all had a great time. We played Apples to Apples for hours.

Sunday we went to the Japan Town Cherry Blossom Festival parade. It was really cool. The best part was the really big drums :) John made up a really special game called Blue Lips... but where's the thorax?

Nanny and I walked across the Golden Gate Bridge on Monday. We also got to go pick up Sahsa from school and see inside it. Nancy came home from New Orleans. Said goodbye to everyone.

We woke up early on Tuesday so we could go catch our flight intoo KC, then had a 4 hour delay in KC and didn't get hom until around 1:30. Mom let me sleep though 1st and 2nd hours :)

On the other hand..... I'm going to be spending my whole weekend ( literally the whole weekend, I might even be sleeping over at the barn manager's house so I get there early and stay late enough for all the commotion we have this weekend...) and I get to ride with some of my old friends in an earlier lesson :)
