California Dreamin'

Last time I went to California, I was thrilled to spend time with my wonderful friend, Alana, and her soon-to-be-husband Jordan.  I met some awesome ladies, who were in the bridal party of Alana and Jordan's wedding with me, and got to reconnect with my brother and sister-in-law.  Each time I go to California, I get to experience new things and always fall back in love with the California lifestyle.  I'm so excited to return to Cali at the end of the summer for 2 weeks!  After a long first-year of graduate school, spending some quality time with my brother and sister-in-law and relaxing on the West Coast will be a much needed vacation.  

Here are some pictures from past California trips:

  I'm not sure yet what I'll be doing during this trip to Cali, but I'm excited to find out!
