After a long journey, but with a stop at my favourite place on the way (more on that in the next post!) we reached the absolutely gorgeous house we were staying in, in La Jolla, San Diego.
The quality of this snap isn't great, but you get the idea of the beautiful house!
Of course, we immediately jumped in the hot tub.
Don't pretend you wouldn't do it too!
The little one tested out the pretty super climbing frame, pretty sure it passed the test!
One morning we stopped off at 'Denny's' - an all american diner that does the best all american breakfasts.
Josh & I went for an Oreo milkshake, which turned out to be a big mistake. It tasted uh-mazing but not only do you get a glass full, you also get a tumbler full of the 'left over' milkshake, which is pretty much another full glass! Although it tasted amazing, I was already a little full by the time I received my TWO plates of breakfast!
Turns out that in a lot of diner's, when you order pancakes, you also get a 'side' of eggs, bacon, sausages and hash browns! I tried my best to get through it all but I was defeated, but I knew to just ask for Pancakes alone next time!
I opted for the 'Red, White & Blue' Special. Blueberry pancakes topped with strawberries and cream cheese icing, with a glug of syrup on the side. It was definitely Instagram worthy, but I decided to cover up the 'bubbly bit'... it's just the cream heating up I assure you!
We enjoyed some lovely days at the beach. The mornings were a little over cast but it tended to clear by lunchtime for perfect beach weather.

I loved the day we spent at San Diego Zoo, it's amazing there!
If you ever get the chance to go to the Westfield in San Diego, Go! It's beautiful and all outside, so in no way a stuffy shopping centre! It's fair to say we shopped till we dropped...
Next Up: Laguna Beach!

Last Summer I went on the holiday of a lifetime, that I will never ever forget.
I went on a road trip around the west coast of America with my dad, step mum and two little brothers.
It's exactly a year since I went, so I thought it'd be the perfect time to write about it!
It was such an amazing experience that I wanted to document it on my blog as a little throwback, so I'll start with flights to LAX!
Unfortunately I think I may have lost all the photos I took on my phone during the holiday, I'm still trying to see if I can retrieve them from my hard drive. I can't tell you how much this upsets me, photos are so important to me, but luckily I had two cameras with me, so took hundreds on them and my family all took photos too!
I was pretty happy and impressed with my champagne in premium economy.
Don't know about you but I love plane food. It's food that has it's own compartments and lids. so great.
Annoyingly there was a fault with the in flight entertainment for the first two hours, but they eventually got it working. About 5 hours in the screens cut out again, the whole cabin shouted 'Nooo!' which was highly amusing and bonded us with the strangers for a few minutes whilst we all laughed.
We touched down in LA! We headed straight for our hotel for the night to get some food and to flop on to freshly made beds! Ethan found some gummy american sweets & his 'bed' in the wardrobe pretty quickly...
We were all up and wide awake at 4am due to the time zone difference.
But then we were ready and raring to go for our drive to San Diego.
Especially this one, all kitted out for the journey!
We stopped in Laguna Beach on the way, which I would of included in this post, but seeing as i absolutely fell in love with Laguna Beach it deserves a blog post of it's own!
Disclaimer: Prepare yourself for a lot of photos of my little brother, Ethan. I just can't taken enough photos of that little man!

Pre-holiday selfie: done. In the taxi ready to go with the boys!
Grumpy little one sulked in the hot tunnel to board the plan, but looked pretty cool taking after his big bro with the band tee and the bum bag.
