& that's the way life goes

Day six of My Michigan Bloggers is Lauryn from LauReality. I’m so envious of Lauryn’s photography skills.  I hope as the year goes on she posts more of her photos! She is a super sweet lady with a blog that is always sincere.  She’s getting ready to go on an awesome Caribbean cruise.  We should all be jealous!

Enjoy!

Hello friends! Lauryn of LauReality here, blogging for our lovely Miss Ria as she soaks up those California rays while the rest of us freeze our bums off. I can’t say I blame her for getting away as quickly as humanly possible, as I too will be heading for warmer climates in the next few weeks too. What can I say? Sometimes a Michigan girl’s gotta do what a Michigan girl’s gotta do.

I’m very excited for Ria to be visiting the Sunshine State. I’ve learned from personal experience that it’s the perfect vacation destination: perfect weather, plenty to do, and while there’s no passport required it’s far enough away that it somehow still feels exotic.

Do you see how desperate for warmth we are here? I just called California exotic.

In addition to those wonderful attributes, California is the perfect place to have yourself a little adventure. I traveled to Californ-I-A a little over a year ago to visit my best friend, and while my “adventures” weren’t exactly wild and crazy, they definitely brought me a taste of something outside of my every day life.

Let me give you the Reader’s Digest version:

Whilst in California, I:

Learned what the heck aperture was and fell madly in love with my SLR:

Saw a whale:

Drank grass and chased it with an orange slice:

Was mistaken for Sarah Palin on the street in Long Beach:

Saw Dr. Phil’s Car:

And pretty much had an amazing time.

Here’s hoping Ria and her man have as many random, fun little adventures as I did. Can’t wait to hear all about it!
