What better way to celebrate your 21st than to take a week long vacation with your girlfriend? Yes, thats right, full week of vacation. Vacation was a long road trip. It was about a 12 hour drive to our destination, not including our stops. First stop was Vegas. To gamble and drink? No! To go to In-N-Out. What can I say, we were hungry. Next stop Primm (the place right outside Vegas with the giant roller coaster!) And yes, that is why we stopped... To ride the giant roller coaster. Then we arrived in Indio, California. Stayed at a resort here for a couple days. Resort was awesome... The pool was gigantic had adult only hours so there weren't any annoy children. Played some golf on this awesome championship course. Went to the town's theater and watched Transformers. Made my first alcoholic purchase. Bought push pops ice cream to remind myself of my childhood, it was delicious. Went to the Joshua Tree National Forest to try and find some photos. Didn't see any Joshua Trees so we got pissed and left. Then we drove back to Vegas, spent a night there. People watched for a little bit, cause thats fun, people in Vegas are so strange. Walked the strip, hit up the shops etc. Gambled, and tripled my money! Lol. Turned $5 into $17.50 hehe. Then went to a buffet and put up some great numbers, 3 plates overloaded with meat and 2 plates of chocolate covered strawberries. Then we drove back towards home. Ended up going to the sand dunes with Nicole's family. They bought me expensive riding gear and all just so I could go with them. It was my first time riding quads, loved it. Accidently rode off like a twenty foot lip/ cliff. Found out what it feels like to be a bird, man I flew. And at the same time I learned the importance of a helmet. Hehe... After the day of riding the quads, headed home. Now I'm all sore and beat to hell... Can barely move, but it was totally worth it. Overall, great vacation and great birthday...

Okay so now the part you were all waiting for, the photos. Lol, these seriously are ALL the photos I took. Fail on my part, I know. But I don't really care, I was too busy having a great time...

1. Dunno why, but I like this one... Snapped it while she wasn't paying attention. She hates it when I do that, I think thats why I like it so much...


2. Shitty photo, scary bug... This was the small one, you can see the big one in the back corner...


3. Again, the little one... The big one is the one under the flower thingy...


4. Like I said, shitty photo and scary bug... I would of stayed longer to wait for a good shot, but I was scared... No problem admitting it either. The picture doesn't do this bug justice when it comes to size... I was like ten feet away, the bug was as long as my palm... If you didn't notice, the little one was flying off the flower thingy to come attack me... Not to worry though, after I snapped the photo I turned and ran! Like I said, I was scared :P


Cell Phone Photos...

5. Dunno why I took this, other than we giggled at it... Silly punch machine at In-N-Out...


6. This toad attacked Nicole outside our room in Indio, they were all over the place...


7. Thats right, rattlesnakes... On or around the golf course... WTF...


8. This is how we roll... Shoes? Who needs them... The pros golf barefoot... Looking back, this wasn't the greatest idea... If you can't figure out why, refer to the photo above...


And those are the photos... Haha... End of story... Tomorrow I'll maybe post the horse race photos taken with the Lynx camera today, there were some great races today... Hehe, and good races means good money :D

Aha! Quads are so fun ^_^ I rode on one for the first time this year too - but you were a little more brave and went off a cliff, jesus!

Wish I could read that golf sign... it's hard to see when it's so little :P Also the first one there, it's nice! So natural - and I can see how you like it so much :)

Hehe, I wouldn't exactly call it brave... It wasn't exactly a plan to go off the cliff haha... No need to read the sign, it pretty much says blah blah blah BEWARE OF RATTLESNAKES... :D

I know! That water bottle was the only downer... It was just a snap though, wasn't going for something that turned out so well...
