Shelby Grimnes Photography: cali cut short

We had to leave Cali 2 days early because Eric got mono, pretty bummed about it but sleeping in cars and paying $80 dollars for a hotel every night wasn't a very good idea. Other than that it was really fun to get out there and hang out with everyone before every one leaves for tour. Anyways here's part two of my 2nd Cali trip of the summer.

On the third day of the trip we met up with everyone at Ocean View high school in HB so the guys could do some filming and stuff, then we went and skated a couple other spots then the guys took off for some 4th of July party, so Caleb, Eric and I went and mobbed around Newport and Huntington and people watched and had a perfect seat for the fireworks on the PCH. Then after that we met up with Stevie and went to Laguna Beach again and found top of the world, it was pretty cool. Then after that we took Stevie home and slept in my car.

The fourth day was pretty cool, we woke up and went to church, then got food with the guys and then we went to Belmont 9, seshed it up for a bit, then went and hung out for the rest of the night. Dillon, Zac, Caleb, Steve, Mike and I took the golf carts out to Wendys and on the way out we started getting gnarly and ended up getting pulled over because someone called complaining about "drunks on golf carts" haha. After we got back I got the bad news that Eric spilled the beans to his parents that we slept in my car for two nights and he got sick so his Dad told me I had to take Eric home the next day. I wasn't very happy considering the fact that it wasn't my fault Eric got mono and it wasn't my responsibility to take him home early because we agreed to stay there till Wednesday but I did a nice thing and decided to take him home the next afternoon. So the for the rest of the night we hung out in a our hotel room with Britt who just got to town.

The 5th day, I had to wake up at 8 to go take my senior pictures with Stevie, so I did that, then went back to the hotel, checked out then went to the RVCA warehouse and did some shopping, thanks Carney!!! After words Eric, Caleb and I were on the road back to AZ, the drive took for ever and it sucked because my car over heated half way through the drive because it was in the middle of the day in the hot summer heat in the Cali/AZ desert, but Eric's dad told us we HAD to leave by noon so I did, that caused us to have to drive 80mph with the windows down with the heat on, not fun and not good for a sick kid if you ask me. Anyways, we got home around 6 and I went and hung out with Matt for rest of the night. Oh yeah, I didn't even have time to take care of the "fix it" ticket I got so now I have to go back to Cali before September to take care of it, SICK!

So yeah, not doing that again, thank god Matt, Nick and I are going back in August to make up for the disaster this one turned into.
