California Dreamin’

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

While Nick and I are both ecstatic about the fact that he has four days off (woohoo!), there is a hefty storm in the forecast: Tropical Storm Alberto is our first official storm since moving to The South. It doesn’t look like it will be a typical sun-filled, bbq-ing Memorial Day weekend for us. Instead, I am going to be daydreaming of last weekend’s trip to California [read: My Healthy Travel Essentials]. Nick and I both agree that we wish we could relive that trip all over again, and we wouldn’t change a thing. I am sharing some footage from our trip because it’s a weekend I don’t want to forget.

Bursting with joy, literally.

This girl, my BFF — I miss her so.

Thank goodness we’re headed back to NorCal in just a couple of weeks. Until then, I am going to ride out the storm this weekend by cozying up and doing all the online shopping (hello holiday sales!)…err, job searching. Speaking of Memorial Day deals…
