The moment my last final was over I jumped in the car and Chris and I headed out for California. 10 days in the California sun was a definite must after the semester. We carpooled down with Chris' sister Laurel and her two little girls. The days were filled with family, fun, and large amounts of really good food. We spent a day in San Francisco, as well as a day in Berkeley/Oakland, and a day in Santa Cruz. FUN FUN FUN!!! My favorite day was Berkely/Oakland. We roamed around UC Berkely for awhile trying to blend in and found that it is an awesome campus. Aside from getting lost in the library, we also tried to sneak into a class. Our thinking was something along the lines of "okay, out of the thousands of classes that are no doubt offered in any one of these sweet looking buildings, we're bound to stumble upon something good, right?" So, we picked a building at random, found a classroom, and went in. As we settled in, we were too excited to notice exactly what the professor was saying, but pretty soon we realized that we have had the misfortune of stepping in on probably the highest level math class...ever. It was a completely different language with a lot of deltas, betas, and parenthesis. It also didn't help that the professor was a fierce looking, older, shorter, Russian woman with a very thick accent. After about 35 seconds, Chris and I looked at each other, stood up, and walked out. Don't get me wrong, math is great, but I can only handle so many Russian betas.
Later that day we went to Fenton's, a kind of posh ice cream parlor. Chris, the wonderful guy that he is, convinced me that getting one of their classic banana splits would be a good idea. Ha.
After that, we went to Chabot Space Museum for their Friday night telescope viewing. We got to see Saturn, rings included! After that we played around in the museum for awhile.
My other favorite day was the one spent in Santa Cruz. Chris and I spent most of the day getting sunburned feet while flying trick kites. It was actually the first time I can remember flying a kite, and I recommend it to everyone. Then, we finished up with some great middle eastern food at the local Falafel House.
All in all, it was a wonderful trip.
