California Dreamin'

Memorial Day Weekend was jam packed with a Given Family get away to the Golden State.
The entire crew flew out to Los Angeles to see Jeremy's uncle, Martin, receive his doctorate.
Martin has worked so hard for the past few years and we were very proud of him.



Among graduation festivities, we also ventured to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, I was not into shopping (with my pregnant state) but I instead of retail therapy, I occupied myself scouting the place for stars.





One of the best experiences of the trip was a party that Martin's friends threw for him.

Unfortunately, I had charged my camera battery that day forgot to put it back in the camera...so I have no photos. The backyard looked over a river bed and behind that there were mountains. It was really beautiful. Sunset magazine has even been to the home to take photos for a future issue.

We also went to Riverside to have Brunch at the Mission Inn. It is a Hotel that was built in 1903.
It was awesome. Here are a few pics..

California was fun, but there is no place like home, and we are glad to be back in the South...
