If you were worried we didn’t return from California, rest easy, we are back in Seattle enjoying cooler, damper, weather. We didn’t really WANT to come back but we had plane tickets. Besides, I don’t think I could convince Elias to stay in LA forever.
We both had very different trips so we will be sharing our stories in different posts. Elias’ will probably be more artistic than mine, full of landscape photos that only he could capture. Mine consists mostly of photos from a single photo shoot, the kind that only girls can do, many of which I did not even take. Please note that this is because I was having too much fun to bother.
This trip was sort of a reunion I suppose. I spent most of my time with my sister Andrea and two very dear friends, Audrey and Anna, who are also sisters. We have been friends since before we were born. Our mom’s were friends and did exciting things together, like taking trips to Mexico, and traveling with soccer teams they met on the beach. This was the first time that we have all gotten together for an extended period of time as “adults”.
We stayed at Audrey’s house in Hollywood with her husband Izzy and brother Aaron, though we did not see much of the boys. The girls and I concluded that each of us on our own get along well with boys, but when we get together we are somewhat of a force to be reckoned with, and can only be taken in small doses.
Needless to say we had a blast. We stayed up too late, talked for hours around mugs of coffee and tea, did lots of thrift store/flea market shopping, hiked up to the Hollywood sign at night, and of course played dress up for photo shoots, the kinds of things you can do with your first friends.
