CATALINA
SO WE DECIDED TO HAVE OUR INFAMOUS "LABOR DAY GIRLS WEEKEND," ON CATALINA ISLAND THIS YEAR! THIS YEAR OUR GROUP OF GIRLS CONSISTED OF 9 OF US: MUMA, ME, ABBEY, TAMARA, TINE, ROSA, KATIE, JACKIE AND VICKY! WE ALL LEFT ON THE CATALINA EXPRESS FERRY OUT OF LONG BEACH ON SATURDAY MORNING AND THAT IS WHEN VACATION BEGAN. WE CHECKED INTO OUR LITTLE COTTAGE BY THE SEA AND THEN WENT FOR LUNCH. SINCE OUR GROUP IS SO BIG ARE SERVICE IS TYPICALLY SLOW AND POOR! HOWEVER, WE ARE USUALLY IN GREAT SPIRITS AND HAVE TONS TO TALK ABOUT, SO WE AREN'T TOO AFFECTED. AFTER WE PUT SOME FOOD IN OUR BELLIES WE DECIDED TO GO HANG OUT ON THE BEACH. IT WAS A GORGEOUS DAY AND IT FELT LIKE WE WERE IN SOME OTHER COUNTRY...WHAT A MAGICAL FEELING IT WAS. THAT NIGHT AFTER SOME OF US GOT READY(ME NOT INCLUDED) WE WENT TO A MEXICAN RESTAURANT FOR DINNER AND THEN HIT THIS QUIRKY KARAOKE BAR. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND SOME OF THE GIRLS WERE REALLY SPENT SO THEY WENT BACK TO OUR PLACE TO SLEEP AND MUMA, TAMARA, ABBEY, ROSA AND I, WENT TO THE LOCAL DIVE BAR CALLED "MARLINS." WE DANCED AND MET LOTS OF SO CAL PEOPLE. AT THE END OF THE NIGHT, ROSA, SOMEHOW GOT THE LOCAL DONUT SHOP TO OPEN FOR US. NEEDLESS TO SAY, OLD FASHIONED GLAZED DONUTS ARE ALWAYS GOOD NO MATTER THE HOUR! LOL! SO THE NEXT DAY WE WOKE UP AND WENT AND GOT SOME COFFEE AND THEN WENT ON OUR ADVENTURES...THIS INCLUDED EATING, KYAKING, SNORKELING, LAYING OUT, PLAYING GAMES AND MEETING NEW PEOPLE! IT WAS A GREAT DAY AND WE WENT FULL FORCE. THE FOLLOWING MORNING MOST OF THE GIRLS WERE GETTING ON THE 10 O' CLOCK FERRY SO IT WAS A WHIRLWIND OF A GREY MORNING. ROSA AND I WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO STAYED. THE SUN BROKE THROUGH AND WE WENT OUT AND GOT BREAKFAST. AFTER WE SEARCHED EVERYWHERE FOR HER LOST FERRY TICKET. WE THEN WENT AND RENTED BEACH CRUISERS AND RODE AROUND THE ISLAND, IT WAS SO PEACEFUL. WE STILL HAD A LITTLE TIME LEFT SO WE SAT OUT ON THE BEACH AND EVENTUALLY ENDED UP ON THE FERRY AND IN NO TIME ARRIVED BACK IN LONG BEACH! EVERY "LABOR DAY GIRLS WEEKEND," IS UNIQUE IN IT'S OWN WAY. FORTUNATELY, THEY JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER! LOVE YOU GIRLS! CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!!!
