My cousin and I decided we are grown ups! And grown ups get to do whatever they want! Okay okay okay... this is the real story. I have twin cousins that are six week older then me. We got to grow up together so we are strangely close for cousins (actually all of us are abnormally close but that is neither here or there...) So the oldest of the three of us is getting married! woot woot! So she decided to have a bachlorette party in Vegas like all normal people, that is normal right? and also its one of our most favorite places. So after talking to the twin that is'nt getting married we decided that if I have to take time off work and drive all the way to that side of the country we might as well do it right and add on a Cruise for the two of us! After not a whole lot of thought(because lets be honest, all the best decisions are made without over thinking it).... next thing we knew we had booked it! Let the count down begin! So the plan was we would leave Idaho and drive to California. Once in Cali we would get on a cruise ship and head to Mexico. After we get back to Cali we would drive to Vegas and party hard! Then drive home. A feat that in our early 20's would not have affected us. In our late 20's we definitely had some interesting moments...
Day one(Friday)-
I worked a half day on Friday. The crazy in both of us thought it would be a good idea to leave after work and drive through the night! I picked up my cousin in Utah and off we went! We had an unplanned visitor we named Nigel. He was a fly, and he started out very shy but by the end he had gotten very friendly with my cousins eyelashes. We stopped at every state sign and took pictures. We drank to many energy drinks, and almost didn't make it to the bathroom in time to many times to count! We kept expecting to get tired but the adrenaline and excitement of our trip was to much to take us down! we fleeeew to Cali (seriously though, We look my dads car and it loves to go fast!)
We made it to California! We decided to head straight to the beach and get some sleep since we had been awake for over 24 hours (by the time we made it to the beach the energy drinks had worn off and we looked felt like zombies) We could see our cruise ship from our spot in the sand so that was kind of cool. I passed right out and slept for almost two hours. My cousin.... maybe slept? After I woke up we played in the ocean for a while and then headed to our hotel. On the way we had the horrible discovery that Nigel had died in the car. We took it hard. but recovered quickly when we got upgraded to a suite and early check in. Once in the hotel we ordered Chinese delivery and passed out after only a few bites.
So that is day one! Well actually day one and day two but whatev. I'll put day three up tomorrow!
