long beach cali.

this weekend bryan & i headed to long beach for a geography conference. he presented his thesis & did very well. we spent the rest of the weekend relaxing, learning to surf & eating some yummy food, especially pinkberry yogurt - i'm obsessed. we got to visit some friends that moved there earlier this year -so it was all around a great weekend.

here's a few of my favorite pics:

the wind farm is so cool. a little eery, but very cool.


bryan & i & yummy thai food.


rachel, me, bryan being goofy & ann.

totally in love with green tea, strawberries & raspberries. sooooo gooood.



bryan surfing.


me surfing. it's definitely a little hard on your body, but it was easier to pick up than i expected.


ann. hillarious.


random dude. ann. me. bryan. lindsey. random person surfing the wrong direction!
i almost killed bryan. i surfed over him. he was under the wave enough he didn't feel a thing :)



lindsey & jim being adorable.

so many funny dogs on the beach.

& super cute old guys. i have a thing for old guys. they are too much fun.


the santa ana winds were crazy. we couldn't smell or see the smoke from the intense fires up north, but it was easy to understand how crazy it must be.




oh, how i love vacations.
