Califorina Easter 2014

I know this post is WAY late, but I wanted to make sure to post it and be able to remember it.

 For Easter this year we were able to go to California to spend it with his family. It was so much fun, I had not met his grandma and grandpa or his uncles and aunts, and we were able to spend time with them and get to know them a little more.We were also able to visit Jonnys grandma in the hospital, that was really special for us and for me to meet her. She was not able to speak, but you could tell how happy she was to see us and hold our hands. 

 We were able to even go on a really beautiful bike ride with his uncle Bill. It started at the top of a mountain and ended at the beach. It was really pretty and we just enjoyed each others company on the ride down.

 

  We were able to drive and visit the town that Jonny grew up in Palmdale... It made me miss home not going to lie. There were no trees and in the middle of the town there was a HUGE lake BUT you are not allowed to swim in it because its there city water. When Jonny told me he grew up in the desert, I didn't really believe him.... well now I know. I'm glad we were able to make time to go see the house he grew up in, as well as the elementary , middle, and high school he went to.

 








We went to a famous stop near Jonnys home town Palmdale called Charlie Browns. Jonny always talked about this AWESOME Banana Split, well 4 bananas, chocolate fudge, Carmel, peanut-butter, peanuts, and a few Cherry on top latter we were pretty full.....  ( yep, my friends we ate the entire thing... don't judge). The pic above is Jonny after, I was the same way. This place was packed full of all kinds of crazy stuff, from all types of meats to ostrich eggs to frog legs.   

 In the Holden family there is a collectable corvette that is passed down through generations, and we took it out for the day. We drove through the canyons and national forests, it was so beautiful even if there were not to many trees :P. Since we drove with the roof off Jonny got a nice forehead sunburn, and me well just a little tanner :)... It was so nice to just drive and enjoy the ride, while listening to the radio.

We were so glad that we were able to go to California for Easter this year, seeing the beach was really nice to, BUT I still think the Atlantic beaches are better :). Easter dinner was also a really nice as well, it was fun hearing the story's of the Holdens.The trip was a lot of fun and needed. California is a pretty cool place, to bad its so expensive to live there.
