Girls Trip!

It is OFFICIAL:

We are MOVING back to Colorado!

So my exploring mind went into hyperdrive and knew I had to check off a few final bucket list items...

first on the list, visit Solvang, California.

Next stop- tacos in Santa Barbara!!!

This is a favorite stop of our for delicious tacos and a gorgeous view.

Next Stop: Downtown Disney!

Disneyland is still closed, but we could go and shop and eat.

We did some reminiscing and I shed a few tears.

Me and My Girls In Our Favorite Place!

So this trip was supposed to be a one day thing, but I was tired and wanted to go to a beach, so we slept in the van in a Beverly Hills neighborhood!  Too funny!!

We could not get over the houses we were driving by!  This state is so nuts that there is such a disparity of wealth.  We felt very safe and actually slept pretty well.  We took off around 6am and headed home.  I remembered seeing Ventura beach on our way into So Cal and thought that would be a better beach than the ones we drove to in Santa Monica that were teeming with homeless people.  It is soooo bad in LA.  We drive past tents after tents that had America flags on them, I knew they must have been government issued to try and give them shelter and space during COVID, but man it is obviously not enough.  They homeless population there is explosive!  We're talking thousands and so ver y very mentally ill and filthy.  It is unconscionable in the United States that people are living like that.

We headed North...

We eventually made it to Ventura Beach and we were so happy!

This was a NICE beach!!

I don't know if it was because it was a weekday, or it was early in the morning, but it was almost empty!

My little baby love, loves her mama...

This was such a fun trip, I hope it becomes a tradition for us in the future, to just take time to be together.

I love us!
