the last of the last

While we were driving my sister & I could not get

enough of these life size (or so we thought) 3-D billboards

here we are with the fam welcoming you to our home.

THE MYSTERY SPOT

hmmmm...might possibly be the weirdest place that I have visited yet.
words cannot explain this unusual tourist attraction
or how anyone knows about it.
The boys were skeptics but Nat & I on the other hand
found ourselves caught in the trance
{dizziness mixed with uncontrollable laughter}
of this mysterious
Mystery Spot.

look familiar...

remember the show Full House?

I imagined that they lived in the bright yellow one

& that Kimmy Gibbler lived in the blue one on the far right.

...and of course the best part of the trip was hanging

out with these two cuties (and of course their parents).

Aren't they so adorable?

I think that this day was my favorite of our trip
I felt like I was walking on a movie set
with the boardwalk & all the bright colors of the carnival,
placed perfectly next to the beach.
BEAUTIFUL.
you know when you are getting old when you only go on 2 risky rides
and start to feel sick...
I always thought that was a lame excuse.

golden gate

We just got back from an amazing trip to the bay! We were able to do & see so much while we were there.

...did I mention that I want to live here?

Say tuned more photos to come from our little getaway.
