summer
We took a trip to Southern California this summer (which was absolutely awesome, by the way–
here’s what we did), and while we were there, I enjoyed the yummiest thing: fish tacos.
Now, I’ve had fish tacos before, but not like this. In SoCal, it’s a local specialty and they have perfected it.
So when I came home I wanted to recreate this culinary experience.…

In a move that was part insanity, part inspiration, we decided to take our kids on a two-week road trip down the coast to Southern California. It turned out to be a HUGE success–this is a part of the world that is absolutely packed with stuff to do! Here were some of my favorite things:

It’s Easter this weekend and April begins in a matter of days…which means, as far as I’m concerned, we are fully into spring!
