Back to Los Angeles for the weekend!! First stop to volunteer at Children's Hunger Fund in north Los Angeles. It was great to be back with my CHF family and serving the Lord. Afterwards it was off to Malibu Beach!! Met up with a friend from high school- Matt. We had lunch on the pier and then hung out the rest of the day at the beach-- it was beautiful!!
Next day-- Pismo Beach with Mary Ann!!! My friend from San Antonio- Mary Ann. We had breakfast at Cowgirl Cafe and then went to the beach! Lots of people surfing, horse back riding, and sun bathing on the beach. Even though the electricity was out in the town the beach was fabulous! On Sunday just chilling at home with Mary Ann and her son Waylon- fun times.
Drive up highway 101 to Monterey to stay with my grandparents dear friends- the Bigbee's. Along the drive I stopped in Cambria for breakfast at Pine Tree Restaurant for pancakes :) Then stopped to see the elephant seals near Hearst Castle in San Simeon. Then it was a day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium-- totally amazing. The sea nettles are just breath taking- I could stand in front of the tank forever! Dinner with the Bigbee's was wonderful- great company and great food.
After my 3 day adventure along the California coast it was time to head back to Sacramento but not too quick! I made a stop in San Jose at the Winchester Mystery House.
~Here are some pictures from the wknd. Enjoy!!
