The "Bro" Trip

The "Bro" Trip

Solana Beach, California (original)

I have been friends with a kid that goes by the name of Shane for my whole life.  We spend basically every waking moment together whether it is hanging out with friends around town, or skiing on the slopes.  I see him every single day no matter what.  Well this year his amazing family decided to take me to their beach house with them.  Shane and I were so excited to finally take a trip together to beach.  We have traveled to countless ski resorts together but we finally were able to go surf and hang out with the famed California girls that he talked about so much!  The flight was only about two hours long so the day we got there we still had daylight to waste.  Once we arrived at his house we put our stuff in the room we were staying in and went over to his neighbors  house to say hello.  He has had the house since he was little so he is sort of considered a "local".  His neighbors house is stunning and kept us occupied for that day so we did not have the opportunity to do what we do best.  Which is either getting the girls numbers or of course getting into some type of trouble.

The next morning was a gorgeous one to say the least.  Most likely around 80 degrees and completely clear skies.  Which meant we had to get in that early morning surfing session.  Shane is a very good surfer where I am a complete amateur.  Although I used to spend a lot of time in California I was to young to start to surf.  Once we got a little fatigued we packed up and walked up the stairs that lead back to the road.

After we got cleaned up a little more we went down to Main street to try our luck and get some numbers.  There is a famous burrito shack named Roberto's in Solana Beach that every local knows about and is a very popular place for kids our age.  We saw a couple girls that we were interested in and decided to build up the courage to go and talk to them.  After a couple minutes of talking we got their numbers and told them we would call them that night.  This was the beginning of our long night.

It was still mid day and we needed to occupy ourselves until the night which was when we could hangout with these very good looking girls.  We had one of the local kids named Chris to call around and get us a ride to a beach called marine street, which is a beach break (waves break on the shore).  We decided to go there because the beach has very big waves and we would like to take pictures to post on social media.  This took up those hours and we had tons of fun while doing it.

It was finally time to try our luck with these girls!  I gave them a call waiting for them to answer with anticipation.  A couple rings later we here a faint, "Hello?"  Not knowing who it was we explained who it was and when they met us and if they would want to come meet us at the stairs that lead down to the ocean on what do you know Ocean Street.  They agreed and told us they were going to get ready and meet us there in 15 minutes.

They arrived right on time and told us what they wanted to do.  Didn't ask us but told us!  This took us by surprise but we did as they said and took them down to the beach to just talk (boring) and that was exactly what happened.  That was the end to the not so eventful night that we were so sure was going to be the night of a life time.
