The Vitamin D trip

“Life’s not always fair.  Sometimes you can get a splinter even sliding down a rainbow.”  ~Cherralea Morgen

Before I left I had already dubbed this trip The Great California Adventure. Which is surprising for someone of my pessimistic nature because it’s usually “This trip is going to suck and I’ve made myself think it’s going to be awesome but then I end up in tears. P.S. I hate everyone”. But this trip really was The Bestest Trip Ever. It’s set the bar high for every other vacation I go on which means that Austin is now on notice.

I would love to dwell on how amazing I felt during this trip but I really cannot bring myself to do so at this very moment. So here are photos in lieu of wit and stories as I prepare for four days of work and a funeral to finish off the week.

Friday will probably be a long-winded drunk blog post because come on now, don’t you think I deserve to drink the entire bottle of wine? Yes, yes you do.

    Yes, I do. Make it two bottles if you so desire.

    Beach walking, baby cooing and a smiling Moose to top it off; I’m hereby coveting your California trip. And your Vitamin D. The SUN, it has to come out (tomorrow, or) SOMEDAY.

    So often a handful of pictures can be all you need. A small number of well picked images can communicate far more than an entire album – and not only that, but your friends will actually stay interested when looking rather than plastering on a smile saying, “oh really, and how was this? and that? and this too?”

    thanks for sharing!

    That photo of Amber was unexpected and made me break into a huge, fat grin. THANK YOU for that.

    Having you here made it feel like we were on vacation too. (Wine for lunch! Sushi for dinner!) Come back soon.
