Okay so, it might nearly be Christmas and don't get me wrong, I love cosying up in fluffy pjs and the thought of watching Elf, but there's always a tiny part of me still longing for the Summer months and today, my mind took me to California, a place I have a lot of love for.
Home to some of my family and fondest memories. The first place in the US I'd ever been to and one of my most memorable trips - a month in one of the most amazing places with my best friends as a newly turned 18 year old, it was a dream! - However in todays post I'll be sharing photos from my 2015 trip! Another incredible holiday I'll never forget (oh wow, sorry cheese!).
Me and my bestest began our 3 week adventure in July 2015 (do not even get me STARTED on how quick the time has gone *le cry*). 16+ hours, 2 flights and 1 Chicago layover later, we had arrived at San Francisco Intl!
I'd never been happier to be back in my favourite place. Greeted by my beautiful cousin, we hopped in the car and headed to San Jose (not before grabbing a bite to eat after that journey!). It was the most bizarre feeling to be back, somewhere we had dreamed and talked about going back for so long (5 years to be exact!) and you'll know if you've ever travelled long haul, the feeling of travelling for nearly a day with little sleep, setting off in the very early hours yet getting there still in daylight, feeling like you've gone back in time?! Very disorienting but none the less, super happy to of been there!
I also vlogged the whole trip! (see below)

// laying by the pool every day & getting Starbucks refreshers // VEGAS! (seperate post here) // spending the day in Santa Cruz, being at the beach & going shopping // being there for 4th July! BBQ @ uncle Phils // eating at Bouchon & Bottega in Napa // going out and staying over in Oakland // getting In'N'Out, duh // trips to Ulta & Sephora // seeing Fishermans Wharf/Lombard St/Dolores park & just generally San Francisco! // wine tasting in Napa Valley // evening trips to Pinkberry or Jack In The Box // going out in San Jose & Palo Alto // getting our first ever pedicures! //
& honestly, just the usual "mundane" things that weren't so mundane here! Staying in, eating Cheetos and watching American Horror Story, having amazing home cooked meals, going for drives, these are some of my favourite memories, just being there in general makes my heart happy!
Until next time Cali x
