I can't call it a vacation because to me that word means "relaxing from your everyday life." This trip we were constantly going, going, going...with a 2 month old. However, we had a blast.
The first day we got there we met up with Lindsey and her baby, Lexi in Riverside. We had fun staying with them and palling around with our baby girls. The last time we saw them Linds was 6 months pregnant and I wasn't pregnant yet. So it was fun to finally see each other's babies and see how life had changed for all of us. We really enjoyed staying with the Marlors.
The next three days we were in Newport Beach for Matt and Brooke's wedding. It was a very low key wedding with a small wedding party. I loved it. Matt and Brooke are such a beautiful couple and we are so excited to have a new sister-in-law. I wasn't able to take pictures of them coming out of the temple because Ashlyn conveniently had a blowout at the same time.
Evidence of Ashlyn's blowout.
Us with Jared and Sjanna
The last part of our trip was spent with our good friends, Jack and Melissa Sanofsky. We became friends two years ago when they lived directly above our apartment in Rexburg. It was so good to see them again and we had so much fun hanging out with them. Jack was an excellent tour guide. He took us to Tito's Tacos, Rodeo Drive, showed us sweet houses in the Hollywood Hills, showed us the Bachelor House, and Malibu.
Do you ever watch "Million Dollar Listing" on Bravo? This is Madison's office in Malibu.
The Bachelor House. We drove by the night before and there were tons of outside lights on for filming. I wonder if they were filming "Bachelor Pad" or next season's "Bachelorette." I am ashamed to say this was one of the highlights of the trip. Ha! I know it's totally ridiculous to admit, but isn't fun to see in person the things you see on tv?!?
Mike and I are in love with So Cal. If it wasn't so darn expensive we would move there in a heartbeat. Guess will just have to visit frequently!
