Spring Break - Galveston, TX

Elämäni ensimmäinen ja varmaan viimeinen hiihtoloma Jenkkilässä on vietetty ja ihana se myös oli. Lähdettiin Marian kanssa ajamaan autollamme kohti Galvestonin saarta, joka sijaitsee Meksikonlahden rannalla Texasissa. Meidän suunnitelma oli päästä palmujen keskelle, lähelle vettä ja lämpimämpään paikkaan (Emporiassa on kyl ollu Suomen kesä, joten en valita näistä säistä), joten Galveston oli täydellinen ratkaisu. Matka oli ihanan rentouttava, MUTTA matkat kesti yhteen suuntaan 14 tuntia ja voitte vaan kuvitella kuinka mukavaa on istua mustassa autossa kovassa helteessä ilman toimivaa ilmastointia (esimerkiksi hotellille päästyämme oli pakko vaihtaa selästä aivan litimärkä huppari pois, joten voin sanoa että oikeasti oli aika tuskainen matka), mutta kun saavuttiin Galvestoniin ja nähtiin haluamamme maisemat, ei kuumuus haitannut enää yhtään.

I'm so glad that we decided to go there because it was exactly what we wanted. And me and Maria made it really well together without problems which is something totally new for us (okay I admit there was some small problems in Galveston but haha i don't tell about those).

Im now spending my spring break in Galveston, Texas but yesterday we wanted to visit in Houston and we liked it (Maria took this photo in Houston). We didn't spend much time there because we really like this island and don't wanna be much away from here. Today we just were outside and laid on the sun, this day was so perfect. Tomorrow is our last day here and at least 12 hours trip back home is waiting for us but luckily we have something fun to do before that but more about that later!

I hope everyone is having great spring break too!

Saint Patrick's Day

Saint Patrick's Day was even bigger thing here than i had thought. People were wearing green clothes everywhere and we had a big parade because of that. People were so happy, and maybe it was because people really enjoyed of their time with family and friends. Saint Patrick's Day is big fest for young people because then they have big parties with friends the whole day and they even like to party this day one week earlier which is called fake paddys day.

After parade we went to pack our stuff with maria and tried to sleep  a little bit because it after midnight it was time for SPRING BREAK and that way time to leave to Galveston, Texas. YAY! Here we are now after long 14 hours trip and we can't be happier. This place is just what we wanted and needed.

Los Angeles - Hollywood - Beverly Hills - Santa Monica

L.A was maybe my favourite place because we also went to hollywood, santa monica and becerly hills and i felt so happy. Finally i was visiting here and i was able to see the hollywood-sign and many other places with my own eyes!!!! I still start to smile when i think about that. There were also beautiful landscapes everywhere AND THE OSCARS was at that time so we were lucky to see the red-carpet and how things are rolling there. It was so fun and crazyy! And universal studios were so amazing. Can't wait the next time to visit in L.A.

March in Emporia

Today it was really beautiful and warm day  here and it made us smile. It was +25 celsius and tomorrow they promised +27 celsius so it feels like summer here. Because of this we decided to go to the park right next to us immediately after school. There were families playing and spending quality time with each other while we tried to take a little bit sun while reading. I continued this Nicholas Sparks - The lucky one which seems pretty good so far.

Hoover Dam - on our way to Las Vegas

From Flaggstaff we headed to Las Vegas which took about four hours to drive there. But just on the border of Nevada is this really famous Hoover Dam that we wanted to see, so we did a quick stop there. Whole trip to Las Vegas was really beautiful and warm, so all of us were repeating sentences like: "omg this is so awesome", "im so happy right now", "Finland is so boring" and etc.. being in US felt so right and good.
