Happy Tuesday! As promised, I'm coming through with the first dose of California photos! These are shots from our first {Satur}day in the Golden State, after arriving on our Virgin America flight from Boston. {cv} had never been west of Las Vegas, so his first glimpse of the Pacific Ocean was a momentous occasion in my book ;) We hopped on Highway 1 and made the trek down from San Francisco to Monterey. We saw a lot of the coastline and even found Magnum Bars {the first I'd discovered on this side of the Atlantic!}. Monterey proved to be a fabulous first stop as these pictures will attest!
Isn't the first day of vacation the best?
Hope you enjoyed this first glimpse at our little getaway--keep your eyes peeled for more next Monday! I have a load of fun posts lined up for the rest of this week! Have a great day :) xoxo {av}
P.S. Did you recognize my shirt?! It made an appearance in my 13th Friday's Fancies! I found it on sale at Anthropologie the week before our trip. I was thrilled to find it for a full $50 less than the original cost :) yay for the Anthro sale section!
love! what a fun first day! (mmm! magnums!) and those ocean shots are GORGE! :)
ReplyDeleteaww looks like you two had a perfect first day! can't wait to see more! xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteYour trip looks like a ton of fun! And I am super jealous you find a Magnum bar. I miss those!
ReplyDeletei actually did notice your shirt! i was keeping an eye on it online and saw it was on sale. they were out of the pink in my size but i was thinking about getting the blue or yellow. then i kept reading the reviews and they scared me. ugh. now i wish i had gotten it.

The first day of a vacation is the best--I seriously wish I could bottle that feeling and pull it out on a rainy day :)
ReplyDeleteFor as expensive as Anthro is, they really do have good sales if you are patient and check back often!
I love Monterey! Hope you had a chance to visit the aquarium. It's definitely not just for kids!!
