San Clemente and Taylor's Graduation Party

My cousin Taylor just recently graduated with his electrical engineering degree! Eric and I were excited to go up and visit for his graduation party, and my Aunt Janet was so kind to let us stay in the San Clemente house for the weekend.

Life has been very busy lately so it was really nice to get away for a weekend without having to plan a big trip.

We went out to eat at a favorite spot, the Fisherman's Restaurant. Beautiful scenery on the water and delicious fresh seafood.


We took a walk along the pier and watched the surfers.


It was a little too cold to swim but that didn't stop anyone from enjoying the beach.

Sunday we headed up to Los Angeles for Taylor's graduation party. It was great to catch up with family. It had been years since I had seen my cousin Sean or his wife Katie!

My Aunt Janet and Uncle Terry have a beautiful house with the best outdoor space. Everything always looks so professionally done, but they do it themselves. They make it all look so easy!

The food was incredible, as always. They really know how to throw a good party.

The best part was getting some time to talk with so much family. Uncle Terry told Eric and I about all the projects they have going on, and about the importance of always pushing yourself to learn something new. I even got to sit down with Aunt Janet for a while and have a great conversation with her in the midst of her hostessing.

We had such a great time and love being so much closer to these guys! Thank you Aunt Janet and Uncle Terry, and congratulations Taylor!!
