Scenes From a Sunny Weekend

While we hate beating a dead horse and all, we gotta say, yet again, that living in Southern Cali does.not.suck. And this weekend I think it’s safe to say that the two of us heifers felt really grateful to call this place home. Our weekends were filled with beach volleyball and oceanfront festivals (Steph), and a long weekend on Catalina Island (Karrie) golf carting around the little island and meandering up and down its charming streets. Lots of fun had by both of us floozies, for sure. Take a look!:

Weekends in Southern California Don’t Suck.

Ya know, folks, there is really something to be said about living in Cali. While the two of us will always be Hoosier girls at heart – missing Mellencamp playing on a loop on the radio, the smell of fresh-cut lawns in the summer, the taste of Indiana sweet corn, and the nearby lakes calling our ever-loving names – there’s no denying the magic of the glistening blue Pacific, the feel of saltwater on sun-dried skin, the sight of waves crashing over surfers, fish tacos at a moment’s notice. That we now both get to experience it makes it that much sweeter.  And by “both” I mean me, Steph and this guy…  obvi:

Here’s to everyone eeking out those last few weeks of summertime, and for those of us in So Cal, just getting started…

Have a happy week everyone,
