My trip to California was a blast and it was great to finally have a vacation! I had my fair share of cheats during Christmas and while in California but I’m proud I didn’t go overboard.

Going to Venice Beach was my favorite touristy venture! I definitely saw tons of crazy outfits and too many homeless people. Everything around Venice Bench is super active, though. You can play basketball, volleyball, tennis and even lift weights! I picked up some sweet art from a random artist selling her pieces on the side.

I was totally stoked to see the gym! Nobody was lifting at the time so I didn’t see anyone who was jacked out of their mind, ha! We then went to the Santa Monica Pier which wasn’t quite as “out there” as Venice Beach.

Another cool part of my trip was being able to work out in a new gym. I went to LA Fitness and experimented with some new machines. It was nice change up from my normal routine.

 For my last full day in California, we went to Oceanside. This was my second time going there and it was just as relaxing as the first! I’m glad to be back home, though! I missed Tyler and my lovely Lily!
