Coachella (preperations and traveling)

We left for California Thursday morning on a 7:30 am flight. Even though I was exhausted because I had worked the night before, the early flight was nice because we got to California with enough time to get our car, buy supplies from the worst Wal-Mart ever, and then drive to the beach for lunch. (So the Wal-Mart wasn't really the worst but it was pretty small and had a lousy food section)
The beach was really awesome, we went to Manhattan beach which was beautiful and all of the houses were adorable. The landscaping was fantastic too, check out these succulents, so pretty!


Lauren and I at the beach

We ate delicious fish tacos there.

Driving to the campsite was a really nice drive too because I had never been to California so it was fun just watching the scenery. On the way to the Coachella valley is a big wind farm. It was like a little factory.


Once we got to the campsite there was the inevitable wait to get in and have your vehicle searched. I was a little worried because they seemed to be searching pretty thoroughly (Lauren and I saw a guard go through a girls makeup case) and I had a bottle of whiskey, which wasn't allowed but our search guy was awesome. All he did was sort of squeeze our luggage and then he took a jar of peanut butter and jelly (yes it was in one jar, it was Goobers ok?!) but he seemed to feel really bad about taking it.


After setting up our tents we were all pretty spent. Lauren and I explored the campsite a little bit but then went to bed. The campsite was pretty cool, they had a lot set up for the campers including a dance stage/dj area, roller rink, pinball area, arts and crafts area, and best of all a farmers market.

More pictures and words about the festival and what bands I saw to come!

The weekend

My sister came down for the weekend and with her came the dogs. Here is Zoey hanging in the yard.


Saturday. Natan and I went to one of my favorite places to eat in Miami, The Lost and Found Saloon. It was delicious. I got taquitos. You tell in the picture but my dress is seersucker. I love seersucker.


Easter.


Easter outfit:

The dress is from Target and it just seemed perfect for Easter.

Playing with the dogs, look at Zoey, that dog is just waiting to be scratched!

Thursday

My outfit:

I love this skirt. I bought it last week and I have already worn it three times! It goes with everything, it has a high waist, and it has pockets.

My lunch:

It was delicious. I have been eating hard boiled egg sandwiches a lot lately. It's super easy to make and you can add a bunch of different things to liven it up. This was on a pumpernickel bagel with pepper jack cheese and lettuce and tomatoes from my mom's garden.

It was a pretty good day. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
