California Dreaming

Sometimes you just need to get away - A break from everyday life... a break from chores, bills, cooking, cleaning, CARING FOR A CHILD! and just plain ol' responsibility! My good friend Jessica's sister lives in Beverly Hills and Jessica was nice enough to invite our friend Meegan and I out for a girls trip in California. It was a week full of delicious food, dressing up, going to the beach, laughing, dancing and a ton of fun!


We started out the trip by heading to an outdoor mall to do a little shopping! When we arrived there was a big concert going on and we didn't realize it was Capital Cities playing until they played their very last song called "Safe and Sound". It quickly became the song of the trip and it will now always bring back memories from our awesome girls trip!


Our second day we headed out to hike the Hollywood sign...


...And then headed out to Chinatown and a Farmer's Market to pick up some fresh produce for the week!



Jessica's sister Sara and her husband were the best hosts! They were so helpful with everything and one night they took us out to Randy's Doughnuts and bought us a ridiculous amount of donuts, which we ate for every day we were there!



On our last night we went to a Dodgers game then hit up Hollywood and did a little touring around!


**One of the highlights of the trip was when we went to Santa Monica pier for a concert and I was walking to our seats and I saw DES the Bachelorette sitting a few feet away from me with a group of friends! We were all so starstruck since us 3 have a tradition of watching the Bachelor together and we just love Des!!



I am so grateful that I have been able to make such awesome friends since moving to Provo and I am excited to make Girls Trip an annual event!
