Road Trip to LA!!

In January one of the besties, Jes, packed up her life in LA and moved to Nashville to follow her dreams. I don't even want to talk about the fact that she is gone, I am still trying to convince myself that she will be home any day now, like when she went to Australia. So, when she booked a flight home to California to visit in June, Kendra and I booked a road trip to LA to see her! It was a really great weekend filled with bowling, swim day, relaxing and a lot of I5 and I had a blast!! I love my friends and am so thankful for another set of great memories with them!

Our trip started with an early stop at McDonald's!

Everyone got some lunch!

How cute is she? She is getting so big!

Our first day there we all went to Jes' Mom and Dad's house to swim and just hang out together with the kids! It was a really fun day and the first time we had all been together since last Aug so it was long overdue!

We stayed at Kendra's Mom and Dad's house while we were in LA and Peyton had a blast of course!

YaYa painted Peyton's toes in an effort to hold her still so Kendra could do her hair! She loved it!

On our last night in town we left the kids at home and had a girls night out! Bowling and besties!

It was so good to have Jes home in California!!

We hit the road Saturday night back to Santa Cruz so we could be at church Sunday morning!

Peyton loved the game room at one of the rest stops!

By the grapevine the kids were ready for bed and Kendra and I got some coffee and headed home. It was a really good ride home, kids sleeping behind us, Casting Crowns on the radio and lots of random conversations with one of my favorite people!

On Sunday I we went to church and then to the CLC BBQ where we hung out with friends, ate and played some softball. Amber hung out with her friends too! So cute!

It was such a great weekend and I can't wait to do it again in a couple weeks!!
