california love

Last week, Me&Ry were able to take a last minute summer trip to California!

For the last 20+ years, Ryan's entire Skousen side has gone to Oceanside and stayed in condos right on the beach.  

We have been looking forward to this trip all summer!

After I finished my last final at 8 pm, we hopped in the car and started our trip.
We got to Vegas late, and crashed for the night.

Luckily we got to see my dad in Vegas and eat a little OPH! So good.

After breakfast, we got back in the car and made it to Oceanside by the afternoon.

We spent the weekend sitting on the beach with the fam, reading our books, and relaxing.

I can't lie, this summer has been really tough on both of us! Taking four semesters of school without a break has been truly brutal.  Luckily we got to take a break from it all on the beach!

We had to check out of the condo on Sunday, but we headed up to Orange County to finish our trip.

We were able to stay at my Aunt Jana's house which was so nice! She lives about 5 minutes from the beach and so we were able to extend our trip a little longer.


Our trip to California was full of...

the beach
good books
quality time together
Johnny Mañana's
bike rides
BJ's pizza
driving with the windows down
tanning
donut runs
Ryan golfing with his dad
Jack's surfboards
Togo's sandwiches
Salt Creek beach
and some good old quality time together.


Seriously, I cried when we had to leave.  I was NOT ready for my amazing break from school and work to be over...
We can't wait to go back!
