California Dreamin'

First stop on my trip, Santa Monica. Dear Vanilla, Hand over the cupcakes and noone gets hurt.

Don't judge us but we may or may not have ordered 14 of these.

HAD to have a picture of this ferris wheel at the Santa Monica pier. This is where Speidi got engaged guys.

This is Amanda. She likes a side order of ketchup with her ketchup.

This is Katie. She likes her meal with a side order of cash. She has to remind me that "Noone has money, ya just spend it." Best. advice. ever.

This is my niece and nephew. Adorbs!

And check out this cute little nugget of a nephew. He calls me Nan-Nan. I am his favorite.

Ofcourse we celebrated Grandma Jennie's 93rd birthday. She rocks.

We always stay in a cozy little place called Carpinteria. Aahh, the beach.

We usually swim out to this platform, but I watched too much Shark Week before I left. I just. couldn't. do it.

The fam.

Me and Miss Amanda Jane.

Coolest land EVER...

The marine layer set in, and didn't leave. But that didn't stop the fun.




Next stop, Robitaille's candy shop. Love it!

So much candy, so little time...

Mmmm, gotta dig right in...

He looks sad only because we couldn't buy one of everything.

Check out this cool tree!

Until next time, Carpinteria, I miss you already.
