It's vacation time! We have been planning a trip to Designer Con for quite a few months but when we originally looked up airfare it was definitely out of our price range, so we were planning on road tripping it. Then a week or two ago we were planning out how much driving we were going to have to do a day and it was freaking me out so I looked up how much airfare would be and it was $270 round trip. HELLS YEAH!
Our flight out of O'hare was at 10:30am so we had to wake up pretty early to get to the airport. So Chad made me breakfast in bed while he finished up washing the dishes so our friends who are feeding our cats won't be disgusted by our filth.

After a 4.5 hour plane ride that mostly consisted of playing Pokemon (I want to be the very best), we waited in a really long line at the car rental place. Then it was time to go on our first California excursion that you just can't get in Illinois: In-N-Out Burger.

| Mmmmmmm burgers |
The burgers were super delicious. Chad thinks mine was less delicious because I didn't get "Animal Style" (Sauce, onions and some other stuff) but I am totes okay with that. After eating all of the tasty food we decided to check out another awesome thing that California has that Illinois doesn't:
 |
| OMFG MOUNTAINS! |
ELEVATION! NOT TOTALLY FLAT! LEVELS AND STUFF! We drove up to Palmdale to check out some sweet mountain action. We then drove through the mountains on Angeles Crest Highway to get more up close and personal with the mountain action.

After epic mountain times, it was time to go see something else Illinois doesn't have; Nikki and Laurel! Laurel was super nice and cooked us all homemade sloppy joe's. Then we all watched Labyrinth. Because Labyrinth. Also David Bowie.
Wednesday is going to be Adventures to San Diego day!
