After a short visit to SacTown, I was back down to Solvang with the Sprague's.  This trip was pretty fun and definitely not long enough.  We spent lots of time by the pool, played Mario Party forever, and I, of course, did my Kumon.  Kyle and Luke turned 23 (hooray!) and I finally got to go to the Maverick.

The Mav is a little cowboy bar in Santa Ynez.  They play country music and offer line dancing lessons...if only i had a partner.  There is a $5 cover on friday and saturday nights (when they turn on the hip hop music) and i definitely got my moneys worth.   We got to see a chick fight!  And i even got some of it on film!  It's nice because you can see Tyler's family friend dancing in the background throughout the entire fight.  Classic.

Oh my god, I HATE IT I HATE IT!

I went wine tasting for the first time too!  Tyler's mom took us to three different places.  She was a great dd.  Tyler's brother, Cody, got to join us too.  He's turning 21 in a few days...nice.  One of the places had an easel set up for people to paint pictures.  Luke, Cody and I showed everyone in the joint up...and i even walked out with one of the art smocks on accident.  whoops.

Tyler and I went to Long Beach and stayed at Cody's house towards the end of my trip.  We woke up early and went to Disneyland for 14 hours the next day.  SUUUPER FUN!  Tyler went on the matterhorn twice, I kicked booty on Astro Blasters, and we got to find Nemo.  I heart disneyland...even if the canoe ride lady was a bitch.
