Northern California: The Last

I know, I know ... I took a lot of pictures in NorCal.

The crazy thing is, I didn't even take as many as I would've liked!

I guess we really enjoy ourselves when we're "back in, back in, Cali, Cali ..." ;)
See the rest of our photos here and here.


The beautiful Buttes, in motion -- one of the shortest mountain ranges on Earth.


These two. They're related. (Mr. M's Uncle Donny, and a second cousin.)


Maile's "Grandma and Grandpa" Jean and Gary -- family friends -- live almost entirely off the grid, in the Sierra Mountains. Jean has let this gorgeous grapevine just go, in front of their home; I love the wild of it.



Sweaty Baby made a habit of drinking milkshakes on retro black-and-white floors of questionable cleanliness ... and we let her. It. was. so. hot.


Maile's friend Brody. Toddlers are always in motion (and therefore, blurry)!


You have to eat a Jake Burger quickly ... or it will eat you.



Stuffing her face full of fries. Wearing Lilly. We Mitchells keep it classy.

Hope to see you again soon, California!

    I LOVE california and every time we get the opportunity to go out (we go at least once a year) I take a billion pictures. I actually save a billion pics on my phone in case the DC weather gets all funky and I want to look at my happy place (california) :-)

      I went to college on the East Coast, Jess, and there are a lot of things I miss about it, but we love Colorado, and our visits "home" (truly, for Mr. M) to California are always a lot of fun!

      Tell me that burger doesn't look like something out of Rocky Horror! Haha. But seriously, I have to get a kid-sized meal every time we eat at Jake's Burgers -- That baby belonged to Mr. M!

      And oh, Maile's hair, Maile's hair ... It's a task! It's fine (like mine), but there's so. much. of. it. And it sticks every which crazy way (like Mr. M's). I've come to embrace the wild of it. :)
