This August, I went on a trip to California to visit my family. My first stop after getting off the plane was the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco.
While I stayed with my Dad, we went hiking in the morning and swimming in the afternoon.One of the places we hiked was Point Lobos. I used to go there every week when I lived in Big Sur and think it is probably the most beautiful place ever.My sister drove up and we went to Big Sur to say goodbye to my grandparent’s house and say hello to world’s cutest puppy. Also: look at that view from our room.Sarah and I drove back down to LA together, and I got to go to the lovely Huntington Gardens.And we went to FYF Fest, which was really exciting for me because I’d never been to a music festival before.But the nicest thing was getting to spend time together and relax before my new semester started.

Love the pics! I’ve always wanted to go to Big Sur!
Big Sur is the most beautiful. Hope you make it there soon!
