Hey All! I have no idea how I got so far behind again, but here I am, caught up at last! Far too much to Meara, so I send general vibes to all of you who mean so much to me.
Since I usually take a day or two off for my birthday, and my company started giving us Juneteenth as a holiday last year, I decided that I deserve a 5-day weekend. And once I decided that, I decided I wanted to do something with the time rather than just slounge around the house on a 5-day staycation. So I recruited one of my girlfriends for a girls trip/road trip. We drove up to San Simeon with stops in downtown LA (at the Last Bookstore) and Hollywood (to replace my "Hollywood Princess" snowglobe- what can I say, it has a crown!). We went to Hearst Castle today, and we're squeezing in a quick run over to Solvang. We're heading back south tomorrow with several tentative stops and staying in Santa Barbara overnight and back to San Diego on Sunday. Very fun and quirky trip so far (just like us!)
