Quick Trip to California

Last week I was able to extend a work trip to California and spend a few days with family. My mom, grandma and I went out to Paradise Cove in Malibu for a little lunch and beach time.



It was my first time ever to Paradise Cove, despite making lots of summertime trips to the beaches in SoCal in my childhood.  It's $25 to park (yikes) but totally worth it if you make a day of it.



It was so beautiful that day.  It really made me curse leaving California for land-locked Raleigh, but what can you do?
