Mini Vacation

I took a well deserved mini vacation that began last Thursday. Not going to go into very much detail, I'll just name the places that I was fortunate enough to visit.
On Thursday night I stayed in Solvang and went to the Cumash casino.
Friday Morning went to The Santa Inez mission and stayed for mass. Later that morning left to Oxnard, visited my grandmother, and made a little time for the beach. To end the night my cousin took me out to a club there in town, unfortunately neither one of us liked the ambiance and ended up leaving after 15 minutes. The drive back to my aunts was funner than the club. LOL!
Saturday morning I got up early. I visited my grandmother again, around 10am I went to San Fernando Valley to visit a cousin; from there we went to LA and did some shopping. We got back around 4pm. I went back to Oxnard around 7pm. At 9pm my cousin from Oxnard and I left to a night club in Pico Rodeo, as an attempt to make up for the night before. Saturday's live music was great!
Sunday I got up early went back to my cousin's in SF Valley and we went to Santa Monica. It was truly beautiful, I'm in love with that beach. Later that evening I left for Huntington Park, there I met with some more family and had an easy night with some Starbucks.
Monday morning we took off to Long Beach riding the Metro, where btw I got a bruise in my arm from slamming my arm into a pole. In Long Beach we took a 45min tour boat, it was very interesting history about the harbor, port, and man made islands. It was a great learning experience. That night I visited the Americana Brand plaza in Glendale. It is surrounded by great exclusive shops as well as high-end condos. Overall a great place to visit for shopping or for an enjoyable lunch. Also it has a hypnotizing fountain that host different water patterns (hard to take my eyes off of it).
Tuesday was Monica's B-day we went to a convalescent home and helped sing some rancheras, it made everyone there very happy. Singing old songs helps the elders remember their good times. We had lunch at Hometown Buffet (easy). Later that evening we went to visit some other people. We wanted to have a bon fire at the beach, but we were told that the beach closes at 10pm and it was already 8pm, that was the end to the night. :(
Finally yesterday I came home. I missed my room, happy to be back safe!
