A few weeks ago I got to join two of my sisters and their kids and my cute mom in California! It was such a great trip! I got to spend some time with each of my sisters, walk with my mom to the beach almost every day (and it was beautiful out!) go swimming with the kids and hot tub, go out to dinner with my old roomate Stacey, go to Downtown Disney and eat tons of treats! And even go to LA and go to my first ever Sample Sale!

Can I just say, getting to LA for the sample sales were crazy?! The drive was long, but fun. I rocked out to music and had a dance party! So I have never been to a sample sale! When I arrived in LA I found the building, and there were multiple sample sales going on. There were just racks of clothing and piles of bags and shoes.  I hit up a few sales, but sadly I didnt find anything :( It was still a fun experience though!

Here is the first of many California posts to come! Wahoo!

    That first picture of the palm trees is amazing Kelsey, looks straight out of a magazine.
    I'm jealous of your sample sale adventures! Even though you didn't find anything, that's still awesome you got to experience it. That's definitely on my bucket list of things I want to do, were the prices as good as people make them out to be or were you kind of disappointed in that aspect? You never know, sometimes people consider "cheap" to be like, $200 above my price limit. haha
