California & Las Vegas was a good combination for our road trip. Just graduating from University my friends and I wanted to venture out and do a last journey together being careless and fancy free. We choose these locations because they were a good distance from Georgia, so we had time on the road to bond. We also chose them because each had its own attractions to offer. Our first stop was Las Vegas where of course we spent the week on the strip. What! The lights and the shows were fabulous and the casinos were massive. We did lose some money in our attempts at gambling but it was all in fun. Some things that we did not like were the ridiculous amount of strip malls, and little perfect communities where everything looked planned and were the same. What we loved were the cheaper than expected motels and Downtown Vegas. Downtown we these buildings that looked like they missed the memo that we are now in 2007 because they look like they are from 4 decades ago. They were ugly and big but fill of history. For the nature part we visited the Red Rock Canyon and the Zion National Park. After the week was complete we headed over to California to spend time on the beach and see how they really live in The OC (Orange County). The beaches were big and the water was amazing but was at times really crowded. For the best beach experience we went early in the day and during the week. We also used a guide that pointed out the road trip's must see sights. We saw the Giant Orange stand, Dinosaur Land Remains, White House Doll Museum, the 1989 Earthquake Epic Center and the Ghost Town and Freak Lamb. We did not have time to see Hollywood or the OC but there are always road trip reunions. |
