To start off the summer a small group of us surprised our friend Aura for her birthday with a trip to Catalina Island off the coast of Los Angeles. Her boyfriend thought of the scheme and pulled it off beautifully. I was happy I was there for the ride because it was (probably) more fun for us to plan and wait and guess and wonder if she already knew. Here is a recap of our weekend together...
It all started at the Long Beach Catalina Express where we waited for Aura's arrival.
