California 2011, again!

So as an outrageously super lucky (and frivolous) girl, I went to California the past week with my neighbor and his friends! It was totally an impulsive decision, much to my dad's disgust, but I had an amazing time!
The only downer of this trip was the lack of Dole Whips. Those who know me can understand my deep sorrow at this. But I got over it, thanks to this:
And nearly replaced it, with THIS! Coconut Fudge ice cream, at Marianne's in Santa Cruz!
 And luckily, I have this fabulous beach body, which fabulousness was amplified ten fold by this flattering wet suits! Truly, though, surfing was one of the most amazing things ever! It was so dang fun, but so hard!

 And this, dear friends, is my uncannily well fashioned pal, Jeffrey William Lunt. Who doesn't love a good plaid on plaid combo?



The gorgeous Monterey bay!

 The Pier with amazing clam chowder in sourdough breadbowls!
SO SO SO good.

 This was a gorgeous beach we stopped at while on our way to San Francisco on Highway One.










The whole gang! (left to right)
Preston, Jeff, Ashley, and myself.




 And because we didn't take pictures surfing, I thought I'd give you an image as to how good we were.
Better than this guy.
You better believe it.

So fun. Sometimes those impulsive decisions turn out to be some of the best memories. You only get to be impulsive a few times in your life. Looks like an awesome trip.
