Thanksgiving came a day early for us this year. We were actually thinking we would spend it just by ourselves in Rexburg, freezing to death, because Crystal couldn’t get any days 0ff. But luckily things worked out and we were able to fly out to Santa Cruz where Crystal’s family had rented out a beach house. We left Tuesday morning and came back Thursday morning. Because of our flight schedule, her family had the big feast on Wednesday so we could be apart of it. We had loads of fun and it seemed like we crammed a whole week’s worth of activities into the day and a half that we were there. Here are some pictures:
Here is a picture of me (Jared) as we waited to be picked up .
First thing we did when we arrived was to go out and play some football on the beach. The losers had to clean up after the thanksgiving meal, unfortunately we lost :-(. After the game we played catch and sat in a hole Crystal’s brother dug to try and cool off because it was so warm. 
That night we celebrated the birthdays for December, which happened to be Crystal and her dad, by going out to a local sea food restaurant. 
I was getting ready to help them blow out the candles, I’m not just a retard.
Right outside on the peer, Crystal’s aunt found a bunch of sea lions trying to sleep. The one on the bottom left must of been sick because we were lucky enough to see it throw up… twice… all over his friend in front of him, it smelt awesome!
Later that night we went to the local arcade and played our hearts out. Crystal won 655 tickets and got some pretty cool prizes including a nice pair of new headphones for her Ipod.
The next morning I got up early with Crystal’s dad and did some mountain biking on the local trails. He rented me the new 2010 Trek Fuel EX 9. I was the first person to ride it and i just about fell in love. It will be nice to have enough money to buy a good bike to go trail riding on… someday. 
After a game of settlers, all the guys went out to the ocean to do some body surfing. 
We finished off the night stuffing our faces with as much turkey, stuffing, potatoes, gravy, and rolls as we could. 
Thursday we got up early and flew back to freezing Rexburg, but we decided to have a nice meal since it was Thanksgiving after all. I know the TV trays kinda make us look like white trash but we were able to watch some episodes from season 5 of LOST! We couldn’t think of anything better to do as we ate, its not like there was time to talk while eating :-).
It turned out to be an awesome vacation.
