Couldn't have asked for a better 27th birthday. Mackinac is truly such a gem! Goodbye 26 & hello 27 🙂

I can’t really recall when we got so close or when our friendship turned into one where we were inseparable but I do remember the tons and tons of memories that I have with her.  We’d spend weekend after weekend together throughout high school.

Did more than expected while visiting! My favorite part was visiting the Coronado island dog beach, … Continue reading Day 6,7,8 – San Diego, CA (December 27, 28, 29) →

We reached our final destination- beautiful California! I feel like we've been non stop all day every day since the start of the trip, just the way I love to travel. On our way into Los Angeles yesterday we surprised a family member & made his Christmas. It was an extremely emotional visit, one I'll … Continue reading Day 4 & 5 – California: Griffith Park, Los Angeles, Venice Beach (December 25 & 26) →
