Who says adults can't spring break?
Momma B and I both had corresponding Spring Breaks this year, so I brought mom out to California for Spring Break!

I planned the whole trip for maximum adventures! Mom got in Friday afternoon and we went for pedicures and dinner downtown.
On Saturday, Mom was reunited with family friends that she had not seen in 20 years. We spent all day there catching up!
On Sunday, we had lunch with friends from Ohio that now live in California and enjoyed WEtv's Monk marathon.
Then on Monday, we went to San Francisco for the day. We hung out at Crissy Field for a while and then went to Ghirardelli Square and treated ourselves to some sundaes!

Those first three days were such a whirlwind and the next thing we knew, it was Tuesday and time to head south! SoCal was calling our names...
So we had to take Thomas to doggy day care at Camp Bow Wow.
Once we drove past LANCASTER, CA- can you believe?! *Jonathan Van Ness voice* We drove through Santa Clarita Diet (must watch season 2, now available on Netflix). We settled into our hotel in Burbank for the evening.
After complimentary milk and cookies, we decided to go to In-N-Out for dinner!
After enjoying our Double, Doubles... we got a Lyft to the LACMA Urban Lights...
I've been obsessed with the Urban Lights since the scene in Hit the Floor when they danced at LACMA!
Wednesday, we woke up and headed to Warner Brother Studios for their Studio Tour! 10/10 would recommend! Thanks for the suggestion, Becca.
We went abroad...
Pottermore told me I was a Ravenclaw, but it's always nice to get a second opinion.
We went to Stars Hollow, Connecticut, obvi. (Along with Bluebell, Alabama & Rosewood, Pennsylvania)!!

| Miss Patty's Studio |
Toured around Burbank, where we saw Mayim Bialik and Kevin Sussman.
Were able to visit the set of The Ellen Show!
Then we headed to New York, so we could get coffee at Central Perk!

After our tour essentially around the world, we went to The Walt Disney Company Studio Lot for a personal tour by my sorority sister and friend, Becca!
 |
| Thanks Becca! |
After our thorough tour of Burbank, CA we headed home... to Irvine!
 |
| Our old home |
 |
| Our favorite old haunt |
We stayed with friends that we hadn't seen in 6 years and yet it felt as if no time had passed. These friends have lived in this house for all of my existence and this house truly feels like a home away from home.
The moment we left the Walt Disney Studio lot began our no specific time line of the trip, except for the people we were going to see. Which truly was the perfect way to go about our Irvine part of the week.
Thursday, we went to our old go to Target and drove around town on our way to Newport Beach to see another friend we haven't seen in 6 years and we just chatted the day away catching up on the little details that you don't share on Facebook and again it was as if we had all just been together a few weeks prior and not the 6 years that eclipsed our time together.
Friday, we went to Laguna Beach and sat on the beach and realized how at home we both felt.
After our stop at the beach, we headed to the Irvine Spectrum that we were amazed to see how much it had grown in the six years that had passed since we had last been.
The Irvine Spectrum is where we met friends that we hadn't seen since we moved 16 years ago, this was prior to a wedding and four children ago.
Afterwards, we went back to our Irvine "home base" (our Wednesday stop as well). We had dinner and chatted until we went to bed.
Saturday, we woke up and had breakfast and chatted until we left for Davis.
Of course we had to stop at Ace Donuts before heading out of town.
We picked up Thomas and finished our Queer Eye watching and went to bed.
Sunday, we took some Easter photos and then we took Momma B to the airport.
After dropping Momma B at the airport, Thomas had to get a bath.
Now we are excited to host more people this week!
xo,

Obviously the theme songs from Laguna Beach and The OC made an appearance throughout our time in the literal OC!
