The holidays come around, though Santa has thought about it since mid-year, and off we flew to Los Angeles. Our time in Southern California consisted of splitting our time between family, friends, and wedding planning.
It has been a hard transition from being within driving distance from my parents to a half-of-a-day worth of flights. Traveling with Nuno does help the traveling be more enjoyable. My mom organized not only the loveliness of the Christmas decorations inside the house, but also the many appointments to further along the wedding plans.
I was able to see almost all of my friends who were around for the holidays. My old co-worker Sara held a get-together at her house for my friends from EHS. I also got to spend an amazing day exploring Mexico with Brady. I am still thinking about the awesome civiche and tacos we had there.
And then just as soon as it began, as with any vacation, it ended abruptly. I said good-bye to my brother first who left for Japan. I spent the last day with my sister exploring Venice Beach before she left to go back to Boston. My parents, however, remain in the constantly awesome weather that is Southern California.
