Hi ya'll,
Just wanted to let you all know that I am back from California and Mexico.
Overall, I had a good trip. It was great to see Adrian's family, and to get to spend some down time on the beach. Our second week was in California and was quite a lot more stressful because we had to spend A LOT of time driving and I am not great in the car.
I had "D" pretty much the whole time I was away, which was pretty upsetting considering my stomach has been alright lately and when I went to Mexico last year I only had one attack. So that was frustrating. When I was in LA, I had the worst cramping and D that I have had in MONTHS and was near sobbing on the potty, it was awful!

I am feeling better now that I am back at home, though, thank goodness!
When we were in LA, we also saw someone get shot in their head!

I was shocked. We took a wrong turn, ended up in Inglewood and then I saw this guy fall down and all these people swarmed around, it was INSANE! I was pretty much ready to run back to the airport and go home, but we managed to get to our hotel which was in a bit of a better area and we were okay.
We went to Universal Studios, which was fun, especially 'cause Adrian has never been before.
I took some pictures, but haven't gotten them off my camera yet so if I find some good ones I will share a few.

Mexico was def the best part, the weather was amazing and it was nice and relaxing. If I were to do the trip over, I would do crazy running around California first and then the relaxing week in Mexico, but I still had a really good time.

We stayed with Adrian's aunt for a few days in Santa Barbara and it was SO BEAUTIFUL! I was really impressed with everything there.. everywhere was nice, everything was pretty calm.. everything we had to eat was AWESOME. Very nice, I would love to go back there.

So all in all, a good trip (with the exceptions of the bad bits!) and I am glad to be home... but not so glad to be back to work tomorrow, hee hee.

**hugs**
Steph
