 What you need

This is really basic, but fun to make!!  What I also decided to do was make some plain circles with green sprinkles.. A little something to go with the pot of golds!!

Trip Down the Coast of California

by Katie Annicelli


Today I just got back from a trip to CA. We landed in San Francisco last thursday. We got an uber and went to the hotel. My mom mixed up the hotels, so the hotel we went to was the wrong one! We ended up staying at the Hyatt Regency. It was very nice. In San Francisco we went to Alcatraz. It was an old prison. "You break the rules you go to Prison. You break the rules in Prison you go to Alcatraz." We went to Muir Woods, went on a 2.5 mile hike that never ended, and much more. We stayed in SF for a couple days.. then we drove to monterey.On the way we stopped at taco bell. Most of you are probably like Eew but, It was on the Pacific Ocean. Talk about perfect location! We stayed at the Days Inn that night. We woke up in the morning, went to the aqaurium (which by the way is the best), stopped at Pinkberry and drove to Big Sur. We stayed at The Big Sur Lodge. It is a hotel in the woods with no TV. I didn't mind that though, because Big Sur is so beautiful! We woke up in Big Sur, and went to Hearst Castle. We saw the grand rooms. It was beautiful. Then we drove to Santa Barbra. We stayed at the Biltmore. It was so nice! The next morning we woke up and we saw these two abbandonned sea lions. Someone called animal rescue and they were fine. We spent the morning in Santa Barbra and drove to Marina Del Ray. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton. When we arrived we were greeted by my dad. We went to the Pool and they were filming a TV show called Jane the Virgin. We went to Santa Monica for dinner to see our family friends. The next day we went to Hollywood Blvd. saw the hollywood sign, walked on the oscar red carpet, and went to a VIP tour of Warner Bros. Studio. I got to go on the set of Pretty little liars! It was so fun. That night my dad was sick. He really wanted to take us to Mr Chow's. He insisted we go without him. I don't like Chinese food and it was amazing! The next morning we drove to Beverly Hills. We stayed at The beverly hills hotel. We sat by the pool, ate food. What could be better At dinner that night we saw judge judy. Then the next day was our last day. We sat by the pool, ate food, had dinner at in n out burger, and went to LAX airport and got the 10:00PM flight back to NY. This trip was probably one of the best I have ever been on!
