Goodbye California

Four years ago I never imagined that I would grow to love California as much as I do now. We had so many great adventures while living there and I will miss it terribly. Here are some of the things that I love so much about the Golden State!

The Breathtaking Beaches



Disneyland & California Adventure



The Spanish Architecture


The San Diego Zoo


The Wild Animal Park

The parks around every corner

The Sunsets

Tanaka Farms

Watching Mike perform with the OCMCO

The beautiful flowers

The Sunshine (this was taken on Christmas morning)

The Fruits and Vegetables

Old Sacramento


The Railroad Museum


Apple Hill


Yosemite National Park

Monterey

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Lake Tahoe


The Sacramento Temple


Redwood Forest

The Jelly Belly Factory


San Francisco



Of course we will also miss all of our wonderful friends, the Newport Beach Temple (which I never got a picture of), and California drivers (I know I will never hear the end of this one, but it's sooo true!) California, I hope to be back again one day!!!

I love California too although I have never lived there like you. You have the cutest family! I am sure you will learn to love Washington too.

Hello old friend,

Two things..

1. Congrats on your new location- I was going to ask where, but Adrie cleared that up for me:)

2. Sooo excited to see a baby no. 2 floating around there on your sidebar!!! That's super neat.

That's so awesome that you got to live near, and visit all of those amazing places! I can certainly see why you miss it. I love your beach/sunset pictures, how amazing. Hope you're adjusting well, I hate change, I have a hard time adjusting to new things...probably because I was in Goshen my whole life (: But at the same time change can be wonderful and refreshing. So glad to be in touch with you, it makes me happy (:
