take me back.

September 7, 2010


although i'm trying to get back into the swing of things, i'm still missing california. hiking to the hollywood sign, riding the ferris wheel at santa monica pier, seeing dolphins for the first time in my life and eating a turkey and cheese sandwich at ruby's diner was better than what i had already imagined it would be.

the main highlight though, was either playing in the ocean at sunset or our gondola ride through huntington harbor. being serenaded in italian while sailing with our cute, cute, cute gondolier was exactly what i needed after my summer ending, and one too many things changing -- and it feels like i stole a little piece of heaven while i was there, and then carried it all the way home with me.
