Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

California pt. 1 {Ghiradelli Square, Chinatown, & November Project!}

California pt. 2 {Yosemite National Park}
Summer Fun

Hi, Internet. I’m not sure where to start after not posting for three weeks but I guess I’ll throw it back to June 16th when I left for California!

There were a few mishaps getting there. Our flight got out of Green Bay late, so we missed our flight from Chicago to San Francisco. It only put us behind a few hours so it wasn’t too big of a deal.

As usual I’ll let my pictures do the talking!
