California baby!!!!

After the intense week of Orientation, Jane, Ross and I decided we need a break!
California was the place to go....with a small stop in Nevada to visit Las Vegas :)

Ross and Jane by the Hard Rock Cafe at the Universal Studios in Hollywood

Too cool for LA!!!

The Californian Summer fires are infamous, and when we were in LA, the fires were some of the worst in years. Everywhere we would see clouds of smoke around LA.

Bathing in Malibu Beach, California

For a while, I was Mitch Buchanan from Baywatch, and the lives of everyone at Malibu beach depended on me!

This is in San Francisco, and I will tell you later why I was making that expression and Ross was so happy...
