Back From My West Coast Adventure!

August 15, 2012 By Lindsay Ward

After two weeks of traveling, including stops in Los Angeles, Pasedena, San Jose, San Francisco, Petaluma, Oakland (basically all of the Bay Area!), and Portland, Oregon, Blue and I are finally home.  Our trip was filled with amazing adventures, visiting family and friends, a wedding, five book store visits, and lots and lots of food.  I’m pretty sure I will be full until the rest of the year…but it was so worth the overeating that went on on this trip!  Check out the pictures from my trip below:

View of the Hollywood hills from Griffith Park in Los Angeles.

Griffith Park Observatory…by the way getting up to this was incredibly difficult,
I thought my calves were on fire.  But totally worth the view 🙂
