● 4: 00 pm - 9:00 pm Car ride home from San Jose
Summary:
We slept in the car while heading to the Winchester House. Once we arrived we bought
tickets for the first tour we could get. During the tour we even were able to go behind the
scenes and explore parts of the house that were recently open to the public. My foreign
exchange student swears she even saw a ghost down in the basement. We ate at the cafe
and tried the Winchester Wild West Burger along with the Winchester Rosemary-Mint
Infused Lemonade. Then we drove back home and fell asleep.
The Winchester Cafe (located at the Winchester Mystery House) was very relaxing to eat
at and had a great view of the mansion and the gardens. The Winchester Wild West
Burger was really messy, but really delicious. The patty was so juicy and the barbeque
sauce was really savory. The cheddar on the burger was really sharp and helped add
flavor.
Day 3:

We woke up early again and went up state towards Monterey Bay to go see all the
animals at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We spent the whole day learning more about
every animal.
Location:
Summary:
We woke up very early for the ride to Monterey Bay and got ready in the car then took
time to get ready. Once we arrived to the aquarium we had to stop for breakfast before
the aquarium opened. We ate at Austino’s Patisserie and had their waffles. Then once the
aquarium opened we started walking around looking at the animals that are being
rehabilitated. We were able to catch the Sea Otter feeding and watched as the workers
fed and weighed the otters. We also watched the shark feedings and went to the open sea
exhibit to look at sharks. We took a virtual dive with Mission to the Deep exhibit. My
friend enjoyed watching all the different type of fish, but she mainly enjoyed the sea
otters.
The Ghirardelli ice cream shop is a fun place to visit with a large variety of ice cream
flavors and toppings. We were able to get our favorite flavors with the toppings we liked.
Also we took tried many chocolate samples and took home a huge amount of our favorite
4
ones.
Day 4:
Took a trip to Universal Studios to visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and riding
other attractions at the park.
Location:

Summary:
We had lots of fun going to Universal Studios. My foreign exchange student really loves
the Harry Potter movies and has always wanted to see the Wizarding World. She was so
excited when we bought robes just like the uniforms of the Hogwarts students. She also
loved the rides and the food at the park. We were able to get our wands and cast spells
on shop windows. Overall it was a fun experience.
The Butterbeer at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is one of the most delicious things
I have tasted. The frozen one is my personal favorite. It tastes just like butterscotch
slushie. The foam on top is so sweet and adds a perfect feel like the actual Butterbeer in
the movies.
Day 5:
We wanted to hit one last amusement park and went with the first one built in
California.

Summary:
Fiorella had lots of fun at Knotts. She said she loved the whole experience and she loved
the Ghost Town. She had lots of fun riding the Silver Bullet because she has never been
on such an intense ride. She enjoyed the Boysenberry themed food.
The Boysenberry cheesecake is incredible. The berries give the dessert and extra tartness
that tastes amazing. We had at least 3 slices each because it was so good. Really
recommend the chocolate covered slices.

Day 6:
We decided to take a break from a big adventure and go to see a marathon of movies we
love.

Summary:
We heard that the theaters were having a special screening of all 3 Original Trilogy Star
Wars movies because of May the 4th. We wanted to be well rested and prepared to sit for
hours in the theater. We went shopping for clothes and necessities for both of us. After
we had lunch we went for a small walk down Long Beach enjoying the scenary. After
that we prepared for the movie and made sure we had snacks and blankets and anything
else we may need.

Yelp Review: 5 stars
Bob’s Big Boys is a restaurant that gives you the feel of being in the 50’s. The atmosphere
is really fun and all the decorations make you feel as though you’ve traveled back in
time. We ate the Bacon Cheeseburgers and enjoyed them entirely. The chocolate
milkshakes really helped bring the whole meal together. Overall, 5 stars.
Day 7:

Summary:
Fiorella wanted to go sightseeing in the city so we decided to hit many big landmarks.
Our trip through the city was really memorable and we were able to take so many
pictures in order to have memories. She enjoyed visiting the city and seeing all the sights
she would see through Instagram
The strawberries and cream frappe at Starbucks is really amazing and tastes just like
strawberries. We are not big coffee fans so it is nice to be able to drink a creme based
drink. Fiorella enjoyed it because her favorite fruit is strawberries and she sad she was
going to take one for the road at the airport.
Day 8:
Fiorella wanted to go see the Redwood trees and she wanted to hug one because she saw
the pictures of people on instagram hugging them.

National and State Parks California
Summary:
The whole day was really fun being amongst nature since it is something both of us
hardly do. We have to admit we did get lost for a couple hours and I thought I was going
to get in trouble with her country and parents for losing their child. Eventually we found
our way back. Fiorella enjoyed the nachos very much. She said that she has never had
nachos like these and she took some home.
The nachos were honestly really good. The best part is that you can order with whatever
meat you wanted which makes it unique. The horchata was really delicious and it was
fun being there late at night.

Day 9:
Went to the California Science Center to see Endeavor and then ended the day by going
to the Santa Monica Pier.
Location:
California Science Center, Exposition Park and Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica
Summary:

Fiorella wanted to have a fun yet relaxing day until she leaves so we went to the Sign
outCalifornia Science Center to walk around. She loved seeing Endeavor in person and
took many pictures. We then went to Portos and tried the cheesecake with an iced
horchata latte. Later we went to the Santa Monica Pier and had so much fun on our last
day together. Then we drove back home to pick up her things and drive her to the
airport. It was very sad seeing her leave and we both shared a very sad moment before
seeing her plane depart.
Yelp Review:
The red velvet cake at Portos is really delicious. It has a really melt in your mouth feel
and has the most delicious cream cheese frosting. It was even better drinking it with the
horchata iced latte. My friend really enjoyed it because she has never tasted a red cake.
