My husband and I recently got back from a three week road trip to California and back and I am so excited to share all about it! I decided to really enjoy my trip and take it all in, so I only took pictures with my cell phone, instead of carrying around my camera. It was a really nice way to really feel like I was on vacation, rather than working.
I don’t want to over load you with a play by play of what we did on our road trip, so instead I’ll just share some small details and my favorite parts!!
