I SURVIVED

Wednesday morning my parents left for Alaska. It's weird to think I'm not going to see them for at least a year. I'm going to miss them and Sparky. Yesterday I drove back to Davis from San Diego. It was 10 hours and 550 miles of fun.

I always wear this shirt when I drive through L.A., if I get lost it doubles as a map! Or if I don't make it the firefighters and paramedics that pull my mangled body from the wreck will get a good laugh.

When I left my house I was already behind schedule so I decided to stop and get a slushie from Green Tea House. Green Apple & Strawberry. So good.


There was a lot of traffic, and yes, I was taking pictures while I was driving.


THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
When I was taking these photos, I felt like a terrorist from Sleeper Cell running a recon mission. Right now there are probably 10 homeland security agents reading my blog because I just used the words terrorist, nuclear, and sleeper cell in the same sentence.

BOOB!


LOS ANGELES
The air in L.A. almost looked breathable. I was surprised the smog didn't obstruct the view of the skyline. Miracles really do happen everyday!

I was getting damn sleepy so I stopped at Carl's Jr. for a nap and some food. For lunch I got the over-priced Guacamole Bacon 6 Dollar Burger. I would say it was worth $4.75. It was delicious, but for 6 dollars you can almost buy a gallon of gas. I can't resist anything guacamole on it...


THE VALLEY
This is what the drive looked like for about 5 hours.


MONSTER!
At the gas station I was simultaneously filled with giddy and terror when I learned that Monster Energy Drinks now come in 32 oz cans called BFC's. I simultaneously do and do not recommend drinking a BFC. It could turn out to be really awesome or you could die, maybe both.


The battery in my camera died so this is the last picture. It looks like I was driving around 80 mph when I took this photo. The end.
