California Dreamin' - Part 1

Bryan and I just got back from a wonderful trip to California. In order save my facebook feed from a million pictures, I wanted to post a blog instead. Plus, this helps me to have a way to remember our trip :)

Our first day was so busy. We flew out of Tulsa early that morning at arrived at 1:30 in California (which was 3:30 our time). We went to our hotel and then decided to go to LA/Hollywood. We did SO much walking. After that, we went to Griffith Observatory and that was followed by Santa Monica Pier. Needless to say, by the end of the night, my back was hurting so bad and my feet were swollen. It was not an easy day for a 6 month pregnant woman! Here are some pictures from our first day:

 View from our hotel...not too bad!

The Chinese Theater...the place you go if you want people to try to get money from you!

Griffith Observatory...after a VERY long walk!

Santa Monica Pier - It was really nice, but by the time we got here, I was just worn out and could not walk anymore, so we just enjoyed the view and then left.

The second day, I was able to relax at the hotel while Bryan was in training. That afternoon, we went to Dana Point Harbor and then to Laguna to enjoy the gorgeous beaches. I'm pretty sure Laguna was my favorite place the entire trip...we even went back the last day. Here are pictures from day 2!

Laguna

Seriously..so beautiful!

The third day, we went to San Clemente to check out the beach there. As you can see, we pretty much just spent every evening at a different beach!

 I will leave this post to the first 3 days. I have so many more pictures to go through of our trip. I will try to get the last post up tomorrow! We had a great time, but it really is so good to be home! If only there were a beach a little closer to home :)
