Mox's California Trip

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 5:29 pm

Just got home yesterday after spending a week back home. I'm sure most of you will skip over this thread because its mine.

Long Layovers in Atlanta and Philadelphia, these were my only friends to keep me company

1am.. Millbrae, CA.. Had to Eat at In and Out Burger. I think I inhaled it.

Got to my hometown of Atwater, Ca around 3am. I got a speeding ticket on the way there. 85 in a 65 on Highway 99. I had the cruise control set at 80mph, I'm going to see if they'll lower it to an 80 in a 65. I seriously thought the speed limit was at least 70mph. Oh well, you live and learn

ATWATER! So many new things. A Super Target, Starbucks, new shopping centers etc. It was weird

I miss Carl's Jr. Double Western Cheese Burger FTW

My old House.. It never looked that bad when I lived there.

Memorial BallPark. I basically grew up at this ballpark. Played so many games..

Good ole Merced, Ca. Used to cruise up and down main street with my friends. Looking for chicks lol

The Mainzer.. I remember sitting in the balcony watching local bands play and just chill.

The Drive to Monterey

Some Pics from the Aquarium

Random Pics from Cannery Row and Fisherman's Warf

I was going to go to Great America (Amusement Park) but it was closed during the week. I got to see a bunch of friends that I haven't seen since 2005. It was pretty relaxing getting away from all the drama in my life right now.

Oh and what did I drive while I was there?

2008 Nissan Rogue S AWD

No, It wasn't fun. I hugged my Mazda when I got home last night. I'm waiting for a phone call that I dont think will come, so I figured I'd share. Let the everyday drama continue. Its not so great to be back home.

Looks like a great time! It is certainly good to get away from everyday b.s. for a while every now and then...

Rogue S, eh. They have the CVT I believe. Thanks for sharing the picts. Zoo's are always fun in my opinion.

question, how did u go from ca to florida?

Family moved to Florida in 2003 because my mom hated the California Schools systems. (Shes a High School Math Teacher.) After sitting in California for a few months by myself I realized how much I hated the central valley and packed up all my stuff and moved to Florida.

and i'd never move back. Most of California is waaay to dirty. Just driving along Highway 99 and I felt like I needed to take a shower. The areas in California where it isnt a dump costs waaay too much to live at.. I think I spoke more Spanish in the 7 days I was there than the 5 years I've been in Florida. Then throw in the State Taxes like a near 8% sales tax and State income Tax taken out from your paychecks. Oh.. Smog Testing, Stricter rules on modifying cars. etc etc

and the Girls are much prettier in South West Florida and I have much more money in my pockets.
