This weekend, I drove.

I drove 2.5 hours home from school...

1 hour from home to a winery for a tasting event with my dad, 

and 1 hour back home...

1 hour to Sacramento to meet with my lovely London friends, 

then another hour home...

1 hour almost to Sacramento again, for dinner at a new restaurant 

with my parents, and back home...

and then 2.5 hours back up to school!

{Lunch with Jess and Megan—our first time hanging out in America!}

I had a wonderful weekend at home with my family and friends, and I obviously spent too much time in the car between Friday and Sunday. 

But oh.my.goodness. California is absolutely stunning this time of year!

The drive to the winery was beautiful—we drove East through the foothills, which I do almost every summer when we go camping, and the hills are always dry and brown. However, I have never been up there during March. The hills were green as could be, and went on for miles & miles. It was so beautiful! 

{I almost felt like I was in Wales again!}

Driving back to school was gorgeous as well. It was a clear day, so driving through the bay was perfect!

I feel so blessed to be able to live in such a beautiful place. 

I love how I can drive only one hour or less, and see completely different, but equally stunning landscapes in such a short distance.

I love California, and am thankful to call it my home.
