Trip to Tucson & Cali

This was my reading material while waiting for my flights. It was such an amazing book and I think everyone should ready it!! I even had to try my hardest to not tear up too much in front of all other other people waiting at the terminal with me during certain parts. 

This was the first meal I had in Tucson. We got brunch after my amazing friend, Celesste, picked me up from the airport. I got the Huevos Rancheros and a Hibiscus tea-- soo yummy and refreshing! 

That first night we went out for Celesste's birthday and I had this delectable mixed drink to start things off.

Next stop was a bar with live jazz music and I got this delicious number. I didn't even know Angry Orchard carried this flavor (apple ginger)!

The next day we stopped in at a cute bar for a midday bloody mary and I had an Irish Coffee afterwards to help wake me up a bit.

After the relaxing midday drinks we stopped in this wonderful shop, Olytata's, where I got some gifts for my family and a little something for myself too! 

This little munchkin, Bach, was so much fun to hang with! 

This was my lunch the next day when we did a mini trip to Bisbee and Tombstone. So delicious!!!

We found this amazing wall covered with this awesome graffiti, where we had a fun photo sesh!

This was my revitalizing brunch the next day before we set out on our adventure for the day! The bloody mary was out of this world!

This is some artwork from the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun, it was one of my favorite things about my trip! There were so many amazing pieces there and comprised of so many different mediums and subjects. Truly beautiful artwork! 

This was in the outside courtyard of the museum, which used to be his house and studio.

After the gallery trip we drove up to Mt. Lemmon and took a little bit of a hike! It was a pretty cloudy day but it was still refreshing and beautiful!

Before we went all the way down the mountain we stopped at this lookout point to watch the sunset. It was such a gorgeous sight to be seen! Breathtaking!

That night after the mountain, it was my last night there so we had these amazing pork belly tacos and these fries! Perfect last meal before my trip to Cali!

This was my first night out in Cali with my bestie Brittany! This was after my phone had its final fall so therefore not as many phone photos from California :( 

We hiked to see the Hollywood sign, 3 miles up and 3 back. Midway through I though I was gonna collapse but we pushed through and I'm glad we did! Great bit of exercise to start working off all the eating I had done while in Tucson!

Final thing I did before getting to the airport to head back to VA was get an In n Out Burger animal style! It was so delicious and mouthwatering! Perfect end to a fun filled trip! 

Stay tuned for some more "artsy" photos I took with my real camera!
