Instead of blogging, I spent the month of August on vacation in California. In one month, I managed to squeeze a lot in! I didn't spend more than 3 nights in a row at any one place and it was wonderful. I spent at least a night in each of the following places: Pasadena, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Piedmont, Yosemite, Atherton, San Francisco, Cayucos, Santa Barbara, and Pismo Beach. I'm a little tired just writing that list, but I wish I could do it all over again! I got to attend two baby showers for my sister-in-law, go to a beautiful wedding in Yosemite for two of our dear friends, visit loads of friends, help plan (sort of) an engagement for one of my besties, see my other sister-in-law's new apartment in the big city (of SF), do a girls' weekend at the beach, celebrate a belated birthday with my Dad and Grandma, and go to the Charles Family reunion. I had the best time and am so grateful for all of my family and friends. It is sad being so far away, but I am so happy for the opportunity I had to hang out in California for so long. And without further ado, here is the picture tour:

We loved being in Yosemite and saw a huge deer right by
our cabin - so awesome |

Sadly, the only pictures I have from my visit with Lindsay are of her
classroom, but I had so much fun helping her out & seeing her
amazing creativity. Love you, Ms. Balzer!

Again, I don't have any pictures actually of Maggie from my visit in SF - I just have this one
picture of a delicious cookie milkshake that I got after we saw Planes together.
