California: Livin’ in a Movie Scene

31 Oct

As summer is slowly turning into winter in North Carolina with accompanying lower temperatures and midterm tests at the business school, I decided that it was about time for another get-away. This time, I went to visit a couple of friends in California. Here are some photos from an amazing weekend at “The Golden Coast”.

It was such a nice trip. I think it might actually be true what they say: That the grass is always greener in California!
