~I was able to visit two National Parks while I was visiting California...

Channel Islands National Park...which is in the middle of the Ocean :)

and Joshua Tree National Park which is in the middle of the Desert :) 

Loved them both equally! 

~Water is my favorite thirst quencher :)

so I started drinking at least eight glasses a day.

~Before going to California, I went to Sonora, Mexico 

to visit my big family. Ate delicious food and had wonderful times.

~Another awesome thing I got to cross off was working with Iris & Light

in California. I had my very own photo sesh! Not a big fan of being in front of the camera

but Stephen made it feel like a walk in the park!

Thank You!

~I went to an indoor shooting range...ummm...I didn't really care for it.

I thought I was tougher but it was kind of freaky being in a room 

filled with people who LOVE shooting. I want to try it again but in an outdoor range.

We'll see how that goes :)

OO & Bisous,

Mayra
