A Totes Amaz Vacay-cay!

 I'm not sure where to start with this one... What an incredible trip... Starting with reading an entire Cosmo cover to cover... I know who does that right? Well we did, or should I say I did... I read the entire thing out loud to my besties while they threw in their crazy comments that had us laughing more than the written articles did! We made it down to Jess' parents house with plenty of time to hit the pool and get out swim on with Miss Aria while Neven chilled with Jess' mom.

After a great breakfast we got on the road stopping to search for letterboxes along the way! This picture is from a cemetery we found while looking for one specific box! We were looking for Italian Cyprus trees (right behind us!) and I took quite a spill in the mud! I had a bruise for the rest of the trip!

Jessica took the time to create collages for the three days we spent exploring so I figured I'd just use them instead of trying to pick just one favorite!

Our first day was spend at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Safari! We spent the money to do the Caravan Safari which included getting up close to quite a few amazing animals, as well as feeing giraffes and attempting to feed some very stubborn rhinos! We were really good about stopping and taking pictures! For the big one of the three of us I braved setting my fancy new camera on a trash can to get a picture of the three of us framed just the way I wanted! I think Jess' pic with the lion is the best of the three of us, it's her face I'm sure!

Day two had us bummin' around Balboa Park and snappin pics of the awesome tiles in the Spanish Art Village. No secret that my favorite area was the area with the black and red tiles! It was such an amazing day despite my mid morning melt down. We wandered around all of the old buildings as we searched for a place to hide our "To Infinity and Beyond" letterbox. We went to the Seaport Village and got matching henna tattoos in the same design as our letter box and took a stroll to see the "Unconditional Surrender" statue. Though the sun wasn't necessarily at the ideal location for snapping pictures at and of the statue, it made for some great less conventional pictures!

Day three had us arriving at Disney California Adventures just as the park opened. We were so excited to see Cars Land, that the pictures make it obvious that it was our focus! I hadn't noticed that at first. It was such a great day, we got our tickets for World of Color, and actually got to ride practically every ride. At least all the ones we wanted to ride. Multiple times even! It was so great to be there one last time with my besties before I leave.

I don't know how to put the feelings into words. How I felt during and after this adventure with the two best friends a girl could ask for. I don't know what I'm going to do the next three years, forcing myself to explore and create my own adventures without these two beside me. I know that this post lacks a little emotion, well at least it does to me... but I couldn't do it when I was full of all of those emotions, it would have been a jumbled mess!
