This past weekend was labor day weekend and Greg and I ... and about 15 other gals and guys road tripped it up to Vermont for the holiday. I had only been to Vermont once and of course, how could  one not love VT. It is absolutely beautiful up there! And soooo peaceful. We had such a blast with all our friends and had such a fun, relaxing weekend we wish it was extended. But it's back to reality for us and most of NYC today. So I hope everyone has a nice easy week. 

Here are just a few moments from our trip. I had so much fun I forgot to pull out my camera for most of the trip yikes! =p 

These two crazy kids are hitched! Not only did they allow me to capture their special day, I have been photographing this beautiful family for years so for me, it was extra special. The day seriously couldn't have been more perfect. The weather forecast had been saying it would down pour the entire day for a week and Nairobi and I had discussed how bad it would be. But we both decided that we would roll with the punches and do whatever we have to do. She even said rain or shone she will be outside in her dress. I love clients that are down for anything!

As soon as we arrived at the courthouse the rain that had been coming down since that morning completely stopped. When it came time for family photos the sun even came out and we saw some beautiful blue skies. The the newlyweds and I took some couple photos and I kid you not, as soon as we took the last shot it started pouring once again! It was like a brief wink and a smile from mother nature just for them.

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. I wish you both all the best in your marriage and I am so thankful to you two for letting me watch your family grow.

Alright! First let me start by saying that I recently went on my very first visit to the state of California. Boy, did it not disappoint. Being a New Yorker, for years I've heard people rave about California so much so that I thought - is it just hype? You know when people talk so much about a restaurant that it makes you not want to go? no? just me? ok anywho. Who knew they were all right??!! I fell IN LOVE with California ! Granted I only made it to San Diego but I've been back for two days and I am planning my next trip out there with Greg as we speak. 

We did so much but it didn't feel rushed at all which is the best type of trip in my opinion. We went to The children's Pool in La Jolla and watched the seals do absolutely nothing and it was amazing! lol really, those things are so darn cute I could not stop watching them. walked around for a little and did a bit of shopping. Checked out a brewery . Oh! one for the coolest parts was eating brunch and the Hotel del Coronado and strolling onto the beach from our table with our bellies fool of deliciousness and feeling like a little seal sun bathing on the sand. =p Brunch here is a must. Even just going to check out the hotel is a must. It's HUGE and so beautiful. Speaking of huge and beautiful we took a drive to Balboa park and honestly only got to see a fraction of it. But wow it was so pretty. We made it over to the cactus and rose garden before heading out. Very very cool. 

We of course had to go on a hike and decided to check out Sunset Cliffs. WOW this place is beautiful. The ocean, the cliffs. I couldn't believe I was in the U.S. 

All in all it was an amazing trip and getting to see my best friend made it even better. I highly recommend San Diego and feel like there is so much more to see and do. Hope you enjoy my pictures!
