If I Had a Week in California…

If I Had a Week in California…

Daniel’s Birthday Weekend

Dan turned 28 today and we spent the weekend celebrating exactly how he likes to enjoy his birthdays… quietly. 🙂 We drove down towards Huntington Beach Friday night and called in a pizza order on the way. We also called our new friends James, Laura, and their kids and told them we were headed to…
