Spring Break

Spring Break was amazingly relaxing after quite a stressful quarter. Between 2 jobs, 3 classes, an incomplete class to finish, and life in general I was exhausted and grateful that the quarter was over with. Spring Break started with some St. Patrick's Day celebrating, complete with Bagpipes! And how does one celebrate St. Patrick's Day without green beer? I will next year! Apparently the Irish in me and the green food coloring does not make beer taste any better.

Spring Break was also a time of "official Thai food tasting." Recovery from mono Sophie discovered that Pad See Ew noodles were some of the only things that felt soothing on her throat. Therefore we conducted a survey of a number of the Thai restaurants in Pasadena. Saladang came out on top. An official taste tester is really not a bad job to have...
During the weekend Becca, Sophie, and I traveled to Becca's parents' house in San Pedro. I was absolutely shocked that this was the view out of their living room window. I could seriously get used to that!
While in San Pedro we went to a play called the Pageant of the Lord. The play recreated famous art (paintings and statues) that told the Easter story. It was beautiful to watch painting literally "come alive." Sophie had on tall shoes that day so both her and Becca towered over me...but really--who wouldn't want to be short?

We ended our San Pedro trip in Redondo Beach.
All in all it was a great break...filled with laughs, sleep, good food, shopping, pool time, a road trip, celebrating.... I think we need Spring Break more often!
