California Love, #GJPersonal

My husband and my's recent trip to California was spent celebrating the marriage of a dear friend and traveling parts of the southern coast. Our adventure began with jet-lagged Johnson's arriving to L.A.X at 1am. We crashed in Korea town with a friend and woke up to a 360 degree view of L.A. We quickly departed to Santa Barbara that morning and spent the weekend enjoying wedding festivities. (btw:If you're looking for a good cup of coffee in S.B, make sure to stop at The French Press  on State Street. You won't be disappointed!) The next leg of our tip took us to Oceanside. We spent a night on the coast exploring the pier and then stayed with an old college roommate of my husband's. We spent a few days with his amazing family and thoroughly enjoyed our time with them and their kiddos. We took in a few epic sunsets and ate as many burritos as possible before heading back north. Our last few days were spent touristing the Hollywood Hills with more friends. From exploring the Griffith Observatory to the token celebrity house tours, we managed to do it all in 48 hours. We even snuck in a few moments on Venice Beach. Highlights from our trip are below. Before you sneak you peak, remember one thing...

In the words of Tupac (and 11 year-old Gina singing the mirror), "California, know's how to paaaarty"
