MY BEST FRIEND STEPH MILL AND I WENT TO CALIFORNIA FOR SIX DAYS AND I'M NOT OVER IT SO NOT GOING TO TALK MUCH BC THE MMRS ARE TOO GREAT AND I CAN'TTTTTTTT
we rented a car
first night in LA we had a tent airbnb
so we went to Santa Monica for the evening
went to this lil spot called Burger Lounge that was reallllly fucking great
it was pretty good sleepin in the tent but by 9am it was super hot so we headed out for breakfast
at this place called Jacks N Joe where we had omelettes even though they are famous for pancakes
Then we drove to the desert to go to Salvation Mountain and our car hated it
but we made it. it was 121º and we were outside for like 15 minutes maybe? and it was more than enough and we got heat-withereddddd, destroyed, etc. it was so hot.
then we drove north to joshua treeeeeeee
We then drove to Santa Barbara where Steph has fam and it was a long drive helped along by flamin hot cheetos and laughing til we cried like five times and finally got there at like 11 and went to beddd
The next day we went downtown and saw Boyhood which uhhhhh incredible
and spent the afternoon walking around downtown and chillin on the wharf
got some Mexican food for dinner at happy hour
drove into the mountains where all the rich people have their ranches and private roads and caught the sunset off this windy road
The next day we headed back downtown and got tattoos of mountains to commemorate our romantic getaway to california and then walked along the harbor some more

we stayed with some friends that took us into San Luis for the night
the best dog named Zoeeeeeee
next morning we got brekkie early and started the drive to Big Sur!
first stop was Morro Bay !
and then we went to an Elephant Seal Viewing Spot
and a lil viewpoint that was supposed to be the ocean but was very foggy instead, still v cool
and Salmon Creek
then finally got to Big Sur !!!!!!!!!!!!
made a stop at the lodge and walked through the woods to look at redwoods (ok)
drove along the 1 and past the Bixby Bridge
our final stop was too magic for words
then we drove north to Alameda across the bay from San Francisco, quick stop at IN N OUT
it was a lil hectic getting to the FLOATING HOUSE we stayed in and I ended up forgetting my cam in the car but next morning we got the best breakfast sandwiches of all time at this place called Kefa Coffee, like, literally incredible
drove into the city afterrrrr and walked like 7 miles around
That night we had a very luxurious zonk in a hotel in Concord and then the next morning we got donuts at long last
crossed the Golden Gate to get back into the city
went up to Twin Peaks !
then got lost but eventually got to the airport where security was terrible, the lunch we had was the weakest meal in all of our time there and Steph won rock paper scissors for the window seat
and flew back into Chicago for a hell of a fucking trip home
