No, not like the movie, but a fun trip with two daughters, a granddaughter and myself.
We laughed at silly things that probably no one else would laugh at. Â We teased each other without getting mad, and we shared one bathroom without yelling at one another.
Every girl needs a trip like this.
We visited Mission Santa Barbara, which was beautiful and full of California history.
The beaches were lovely. Â We watched the sunset at Ventura Beach.
In downtown Santa Barbara we tasted a new food, Goa tacos, which were different from what we are familiar with, but were very tasty.
On one afternoon we managed to beat everyone else to the spa at our hotel.
And because we had such a successful trip, we celebrated by treating ourselves to some yummy ice cream treats.
If you’re ever in Bakersfield, California, you’ll need to visit Rosemary’s Ice Cream Shop in the downtown area.
Next year, same time, different place.💗💜💗💜

We decided to rent a cabin up in the Sierra Nevada forest and invite the kids and family.
As we climbed up the freeway leading up to the forest, I was saddened by what I saw.
Many trees are brown and dry from the long California drought. Once, the trees were all green, and now you see so many dead trees.
We hadn’t been up there for about 2 years; what a difference from what we were accustomed too.
It was no wonder why the realtor had said, “Absolutely no campfires.”, which meant no roasting marshmallows ; I guess we would have to microwave our s’mores.
So sad, but we still enjoyed ourselves in much cooler temperatures with our family. Hubby’s sister and our niece went up to visit for an overnight stay.
Some of us went fishing, or sat on the deck playing board games and cards, and we managed to go to our favorite swimming hole.
The end of summer.♥♥♥♥
