Summer Days Pt 2: Yosemite

August 13, 2011 was the first time I went to Yosemite & I fell in love.
Camping, dipping in the ice cold river, hiking the Sentinel Dome trail, Glacier Point, and sitting by campfire. Nature rocks.

Summer Days pt 1

Since SJSU cancelled my summer classes, I decided to plan a trip to New Orleans.
Hands down, the liveliest city I've ever been to.
The trip was all thanks to Miguel since I wanted to see him in concert performing my 2011 summer jam, "Sure Thing."
I saw that he was performing at the Essence Music Fest, so I ended up getting tickets to go...
Highlights:

Thanksgiving Vacation

Went to So Cal for Thanksgiving with my sister's family, mom, and grandma.

It was nice hanging out with my grandmama and hearing her talk so much!

Much thanks to my sis & ron for planning the trip. Everyone gained weight during this trip because of them! But no one is complaining......
