After living in Florida and Japan for the past 6 years, I’ve forgotten what a Missouri winter feels like. It’s nothing like the north pole or anything, but it does hit below zero from time to time. After not experiencing such a winter for so long, this beach bum was singing the winter blues. California was the perfect cure for such a sad case of the blues and our vacation couldn’t have been any more perfect. One of the most relaxing parts of the trip was enjoying a beautiful sunset atop of none other than Ocean Beach’s Sunset Cliffs.
With views like this, thoughts of frigid weather were far from my mind…





Hello, gorgeous people.

I wish I knew what she was thinking. Probably something like, “Gosh, I have the coolest Mom in the world.”


I was so sad to leave California. With all the Navy bases scattered along southern California, I have hopes that one day I will be a California girl just like Katy Perry.
Hooyah, California.
The second and second to last photos are my favorite. They are all awesome. The lighting is so pink and warm…mmmm
Just don’t get stationed in lemoore, CA. if you do. Its not all that great. I would rather be stationed on the coast somewhere.
