happy place.

Sun. Sand. Waves. & Salt.

doesn't get any better.

wow. i have been so blessed this summer.
I have been to California and to the beach THREE times in one summer. i would say Oceanside has definitely been on my side. And I have got to spend those good times with my family! and one week with my best friend. doesn't get much happier. I am already having major withdrawals from our Barben family Oceanside, CA beach reunion. It is really one of my favorite parts of the summer. So many memories from my whole 17 years of life. And I get to spend it with all my family from my dad's side for a whole week.
