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,
