I'm Back... My trip to the SUN

Oh my! The trip to the sun was so much fun! It was really an agenda trip. One of our friends ( L) was graduating from nursing school and me and another friend ( D) drove down to show our support! ( L) was so surprised because she stayed unsure if we would come because the graduation was in the middle of the work week!


Anywhoo we rented this from H.ertz

Yep burning up the highway in a freakin yellow Camaro. So fun! The trip only took 4 1/2 hours to get there 5 hours to get back. We were rollin!

We stopped for gas and drinks in some town. I got out of the car and almost melted like a hershey's kiss. It felt 100 degrees! Sooooooooooooo HOT!  I definitely got what I wanted heat wise!

*side note* I am completely in love with McD caramel frappes It's what I got when we stopped. It is my go to icy treat when it's hot. Okay I'm lying it hasn't been hot. It's just my go to treat! LOL! Last summer it was the iced coffee, the summer before it was the iced tea!

When we got to L.A. we had breakfast lunch at a favorite of mine Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles.
I always get the same thing the { 9. Country Boy} 3 yummy fried wings and a crispy, buttery waffle with maple syrup. Deelish!

The Graduation was held at the C.hevy Cha.se Country Club in Glendale, CA. It was really an elegant affair! I'm so glad I went. It was great to see a friend accomplish something and get closer to her dreams! I personally love graduations. I yelled and clapped so loud. Yeah THEY were looking at me *shrugs*


We stayed at a gem of a hotel near the Burbank airport. Many of ( L) other family and friends flew down and were staying here so we stayed here too. The Marriot Burbank is AWESOME!!!! click the link!
I will be going back with theCaptain! It had less of a Marriot feel and more of a boutique hotel feel. I LOVED it!

We all ended up going back to the hotel after the graduation to eat and drink.
The Daily Grill had tasty food and was really cute to me! I shared some yummy popcorn shrimp with ( D )








Overall it was a Great overnite trip. I'm so glad I went! I will definitely do this again!



We only drove pass the beach this trip *sad face*
