April and May were fun months! We finally had that spring break we'd hoped for, but, that will be highlighted in a post of its own. We started the month with the wedding of my good friend, April and her lobster, Dustin. What a blast. That wasn't the ONLY wedding in April. My cousin Lena married her longtime love, Sarah. I love these two so much and was honored to share in their special day down in Chula Vista, as well as visiting with my aunt and other cousin. I loved that both weddings were small (<25 people) and the majority of people in attendance were vaccinated. Peter and I also got a chance to go away to Carmel with a couple of friends. What a beautiful trip that was, and I have over 100 photos to prove it (chose the top 30 for this post).
After being out of town for most of April (I only worked 8 shifts that month, and Peter didn't return to work from his surgery until after our family vacation), May was more business, but we still sneaked in a little fun, including a return to Disneyland for me! We also got an overdue visit from my parents and had some fun around town. Another major thing happened in May: Alayna got vaccinated! This gives all of us a little relief, since we knew (even then, because, you know, I'm a nurse) that Delta was on its way and because she ALSO got her first job!

I'm still not sold on this day shift thing after 5 months (at this point) of being on days.
Lone Madrone winery. For whatever reason, this is the only photo I have from this day where Christen, April and I went wine tasting at 3 different places.

They had fun favors, such as candles, hand sanitizer, personalized tissues and these mini alcohol bottles.
Loved the guest book!

San Diego culminated with homemade chilaquiles by my aunt. SO delicious!
I will preface this Carmel part of the post by stating I had over 100 photos and really struggled about which ones to post. Point Lobos is a beautiful place and should be on your list if you've never been. These photos really don't do it justice. This was such a fun trip with our good friends.
Do yourself a favor if you find yourself in Carmel-By-the-Sea, and go to the Cheese Shop!
Our last stop was Nepenthe on the drive home down Highway 1.
The view did not disappoint. CA poppies!
