Personal Narrative: My Trip To California

To begin my story about my trip to California, I would like to provide some information about myself. I have been wanting to go to California for many years now. When finally given the opportunity to go, when my girlfriend’s uncle invited us to visit for a week, my answer was an immediate yes! I was extremely eager because he lived close to places that appeared in my favorite movie, Fast and Furious. I love cars and that movie, and what better place to go than Los Angeles to see where they filmed the movie. It all started when Uncle Jay invited my girlfriend, Sam, and I to visit their new home in Century City, a burrow of Los Angeles. We planned our trip for a long weekend in May from a Thursday to a Monday. Once I landed at the Los Angeles Airport my girlfriend’s uncle greeted us at the bottom of the escalator, where all of the limo drivers stood, with our names on a sign. He escorted us out to his convertible Porsche Carrera 911S and we drove to his house with the top down. That night we went to this amazing restaurant in a hotel called Casa Del Mar that overlooked the beach. …show more content…
We drove to Malibu to visit El Matador Beach and Neptune’s Net. El Matador Beach was a literal hike down to the sand, but the views of the blue ocean were gorgeous. There were massive rock formations all over the beach, nothing like North Carolina beaches, but it was way prettier than back home. After sitting in the sun for a few hours we went to Neptune’s Net for lunch. Neptune’s Net is a restaurant off the Pacific Coast Highway that is a famous spot, especially for motorcyclists. We ordered the steak tacos, they may have been the best tacos I’ve ever had. I didn’t know it at the time I was eating there, but I later realized Neptune’s Net was in the first Fast and Furious movie as well. When I came home and watched the movie I laughed when I realized I was at a third movie spot not even realizing it at that
