Senior trip 2012

There are a few reasons I became a teacher, free trips around the country is one of them! This year I chaperoned 8 seniors to sunny San Diego! We were there for a full week and did a lot of spectacular stuff. 


Day 1 
Arrive on Thursday night- well really Friday morning at 1am. Crashed at the house 


Day 2 
Grocery shopped at Ralph's it's a grocery change of Kroger. Shopped at Old Town And had a home cooked meal 


 Day 3 
 Went to the San Diego zoo! Great fun. Had dinner a home and played four on a couch.

 Day 4 
 We spent the day at our other chaperones (Tracy Thomson) families house. We BBQed and swam and had a good old time. We returned home for some good ole dominos pizza. 


 Day 5 
The group split this day. Those who were under 18 accompanied Tracy to Legoland. They did a mystery shop here to save some money! It was a fun day but they said the average age was 8 years old, they felt a little out of place. The other half of the group went shopping at an open air mall and then crashed at the pool when the other group returned. 

ALL MADE OF LEGOS!


Day 6 
Again we split groups. Both headed to LA for the day. The 18 year olds headed to a taping of Price is Right. We had great seats right behind contestants row. Tune into the show on June 13th to see us!!! The other group went to LA and did some thrift shopping and then we all joined up to have dinner at California pizza kitchen. Then we went to Chinese theater and the Hollywood boulevard stars. All and all this was probably my favorite day.

Chinese Theater- Ran into Spider Man... I need to work on my web throwing- I look like I'm at a rock concert instead....

Day 7 
Beach day We hit the beach with Tracy's family again and tried our hand at surfing. Most of the students tried it. I passed because the water was too cold! But I did put my feet in. We then went to Roberto's a famous Mexican restaurant where all the locals go after the beach. They had great food. We went home napped and hung out until dinner. We had to hit up the local In and Out Burger for dinner and then did some shopping Again! Then our last treat was Fiji Yogurt. It's kind of like Fro Yo. 


For My love- Forever on the beaches of the West Coast or at least til a wave came along



 Day 8 
 Departure day. Got up and headed to the airport around 930 to catch our noon flight, but then it got delayed until 150! We were then delayed in Chicago. We finally landed in Flint around midnight. Then we had a 3 hour drive to Boyne! I got pulled over in Gaylord, I was going a little fast for the area- not intentional. The cop was friendly and chatted our ear off for 10 minutes about our trip to San Diego. I was thankful we didn't get a ticket but I really wanted to tell him, "be quite, I want to get home, it's 3am!"


Bonus Material:


Me and the other chaperone playing the last round of Spoons- the spoon was at the top of the stairs.
