8. Visit California with Pultz

California Vacation = Freaking Awesome.

Like most travel posts, there is never going to be a way to describe the trip in the light it deserves.  We had the best time and felt like ourselves again.  It was nice to escape our fast-paced concrete jungle lifestyle for more than just a weekend!

Our first stop was Downtown San Diego.

Then we ventured out to spend time in La Jolla.

Next we rented a car and road tripped to Los Angeles.  Here we stayed with buddies and got in a lot of friend and beach time.

Then we had a kick-butt Fourth of July.  Crazy Fun.

Our California vacay had been a long time coming.  It was everything we hoped for and more!

Now....... when can we go again? :)
