For Spring Break I got the opportunity to go with a friend to her house in San Jose, California. I'm not entirely sure why, but I have never traveled farther west than Colorado. I've been to most of the eastern states, but not west. On Tuesday of Spring Break week, we got to go into San Fransisco. This was a lot of fun, but a very exhausting day. We walked all over the city and saw many of its famous monuments. We also got to walk on the Golden Gate Bridge, which was amazing to see how big it was. Then on Wednesday we went to Monterey Bay Aquarium, and then to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. This was fun, but since it was March most of the Boardwalk was closed and the water was cold. On Friday we drove up to Sierra at Tahoe and Snowboarded. This was my first time snowboarding and I got very sick, but it was still very fun and the views were amazing. On Saturday, coincidentally, my brother from Nebraska, was in San Fransisco visiting his friend and I got to meet up with them and we went to Alcatraz. This was especially cool, but at the same time very eery and awkward. The tour was very well done and I learned a lot about "the Rock". This was a Great Spring Break trip.
