At the end of June, Kevin and I went on vacation.
We went to California for 8 days.
We stayed in El Segundo for a few days, went to Fresno and saw my cousin, and then went to San Francisco for a few days; we had never been to San Francisco and had an amazing time. Such a beautiful city contrasted by self-important people and horrible parking. Stunning parks though! And great food! We spent the 4th in San Francisco and were able to see a great fireworks show over the bay at Aquatic Park (by Fort Mason). Here are a few photos of our trip. Also, I haven't seen my cousin in 14 years, so that photo is gold.

| First night in CA we ate at California Fish Grill; Kevin and his Ahi Tuna Salad. |
 |
| Redondo Beach with my family. My cousin's babies, running off dinner. ;) |
 |
| Sunset Blvd. In-N-Out. Of course. |
 |
| The hotel they used to film exterior shots of the hotel in 'Angel'. *nerd* |
 |
| Amazing Italian food we found in Fresno! |
 |
| Me and my cousin. |
 |
| On the Bay Bridge headed into San Francisco. Our first San Fran experience: witnessing an arrest. Good times. |
 |
| July 4th. Kevin standing in front of our hotel, the Marina Inn, waiting to cross the street. |
 |
| A cute mint-green Vespa. After a few days of endless walking, this seemed like the smarter alternative. |
 |
| Kara's Cupcakes. YUM! |
 |
| The Fleur De Sel cupcake: chocolate with caramel filling, ganache frosting and a sprinkle of sea salt. *inspired* |
 |
| Fireworks over the bay! |
 |
| Just walking around the city... |
 |
| Some wild blackberries we (I) picked after discovering Tank Hill. Best view of the city, by far. |
 |
| The beach in El Segundo after dinner at Andiamo's Pizza on Main Street. |
 |
| Us! |
Have you vacationed this year or do you have plans to?
