Turned 21 then jetted off to Hawaii

On March 15th I finally turned 21. I spent the whole day with my Mom, Mayci and my sister Lauren who flew in and surprised me! We started off the day by going to my favorite lunch spot called Toast Bakery and Cafe on 3rd street. After that we walked to Joan's on Third where we enjoyed homemade cupcakes. We spent most of the afternoon eating and shopping then landed at an LA hotspot called Ketchup for dinner. If you like Ketchup and fries this is the restaurant for you. We started off with the fry trio which included cajun curly fries, sweet potato fries and regular french fries. But what made the fries so good were the 6 different flavored ketchups. It was so much fun having a girls day! I feel sorry for Dad who was on a business trip because he missed out on some good food!

On Friday after my birthday my teammates and I went to Hawaii for Spring break. We stayed at an all inclusive resort on Kona called the Mauna Lani. We practiced a lot but we also had a lot of fun. The highlight of the trip was the hotel's buffet breakfast in the morning. It had everything that you could imagine; Pancakes, waffles, omelets, french toast, chocolate croissants and the list could go on... Even with all this food to choose from I came down with an addiction to Malasadas which are a Hawaiian doughnut. I just could not get enough of them! Another thing my team and I realized was that Hawaii had a very penetrating and strong sun. I don't think anyone left without a tan or major sunburn. Overall it was a very relaxing trip and a perfect way to spend my Spring break.
