memorial day weekend

a fantastic memorial day weekend was made up of these three:

#1 - a little overnight visit to sacramento, where i got to go through the temple with my friend keri and sleep over at my new friend rachelle's house:

  

keri was receiving her own endowment, and it was so exciting to be with her. rachelle and her family were the most gracious hosts. i liked the drive there (with sunset) and back (with rain).

#2 - a last-minute visit from friends who drove from provo to hang out with me and jae:

i loved having megs and sarah in town. chinatown, corona heights, city hall, sunday morning at the beach, sunday afternoon on my roof, lots 'o' laughs.

#3 - a quick roadtrip down the coast with josephine:

we cruised to gorilla bbq in pacifica, which i have been wanting to try for ages, and brought our grub to the beach for a picnic. we walked out on the pier, learned about crab fishing, took in the views and then got back on the road...

we made it to half moon bay and walked out on the jetty and watched fishers and surfers. it was a gorgeous sunny memorial day!

we found a secret spot on some cliffs to eat the rest of our bbq. it was astonishingly pretty. we finally found the spot where the mavericks surf competition happens and strolled along the beach.

 

 

i really, really, really (reeeeeally) love northern california.
