Southern California in Pictures
Our time in California has flown by. I love that Paul enjoyed the stomping grounds of my youth so much and that we were able to spend time with friends (old and new) and family. Next up is Orlando, Florida. We will road trip it there in the next few weeks and plan on stopping in Palm Springs, Tombstone, Austin, New Orleans, and possibly one more place along the way. I will share details here and on Facebook as soon as I have some.
We had planned on spending a bit more time here but that was not meant to be, and we are both ready for whatever is next. I am keeping an eye out for job opportunities and potential sits/rentals, and would love to hear from any Orlando readers. Below are my favorite California photos. I will probably be adding to them in the next few days. Please send me any that you would like me to share, California friends! Thanks for the memories . . .
