oh! St. Patrick was a gentlemen....

i love holidays! a past roommate of mine made me appreciate them a whole lot more than i ever could imagine. but today this is holidays reminded me of an amazing time in my life when i was able to meet some incredible people and see by far the most beautiful place i have ever encountered. so not to rub in but let me just take a step back into memory lane.
the majority of these pictures are with people but thats what made it so amazing!

Welcome to California

Minutes after I was picked up at the Oakland airport this lovely vehicle came rolling up right in front of the car. I loved the classic tires and rims but what made this picture worth capturing was the little sign hanging on the back window. "Baby on board" Enough said. Oh how I miss this great state.
