california and cancun.

So in the last month, we went to two amazing places—both brought to you by the letter C! And even though it’s taken me forever, I figured it would be better late than never to talk about our trips!

California was so fun! Every time Josh and I go out there, we both wonder why we don’t live there. The weather is so warm, and there is so much to do! (We’re not moving, don’t worry!) We stayed at my grandparents’ house, which is such a relaxing and fun place. While we were there we went to the Chino air show and loved watching all the WWII planes fly! It’s amazing how beautiful those planes are—and how cool they sound! I'm not sure which ones were there specifically, ask Josh if you want to know because he loves that stuff. The only problem was that my hat kept blowing off my head! One older gentleman even said to me, “Careful holding on to your hat, you just might blow away with it!” Haha! I guess I was quite the sight. But I didn’t get burned, and that is what’s important!

We also went to Disneyland—the happiest place on earth! Josh and I always have so much fun there, and love to ride all the fun rides and eat all the delicious food.


A few weeks later we went even further south, way way further south. Cancun to be exact! I was amazed at how beautiful it was down there, and we seriously had the best time. Josh was already talking about going back next year…and we hadn’t even left! There were so many cool people to meet and fun places to go.

And let me take a moment to talk about the chocolate-covered strawberries. You know how sometimes you eat a chocolate-covered strawberry and the chocolate is kind of waxy? Not in Cancun. The chocolate at the RIU was nice and crisp and was a fantastic compliment to these perfect strawberries. I probably ate 50 of them. And I have no shame.

Oh, and the pools. Let’s talk about those too. The pools were those infinity-type pools that just sit at the edge of this turquoise and aquamarine ocean. Sigh. It was heaven. Plus, I got to be with my love for seven days straight, and that’s always the best.

Anyway, there’s a quick catch up to our travels lately. Highly recommend the RIU Palace Peninsula if you’re looking for a place to stay in Cancun, and, of course, always recommend California.
