California
We bought plane tickets to California 2 weeks before the world shutdown in March of 2020. I remember feeling hesitant but also having NO idea what Covid was. I remember saying to Evan, “We’ll just play it safe, wash our hands a lot, and bring extra hand sanitizer. We will be fine!” Little did I know!
Vaccines, a plethora of wine, and a year and a half later, we finally made it to the Golden Coast. It truly is incredible how our appreciation for travel (and so much more) has changed during this CRAZY TIME!
Below, I’ve listed a few of our favorite adventures & memories in California.
