In June, I flew to California for basically 36 hours (fastest and most expensive weekend of my life haha) for my sister Nicole's graduation from UCSB! I tried to surprise her, but apparently she suspected that I was coming to surprise her all along! Oh well, I tried. haha Her graduation was the same day as Father's Day, so my mom and I also planned it to be a Father's Day surprise for my dad as well! :) Yoav drove up from San Diego too, so it was really nice for all of us to be together, if only for 1 day.
At the end of June, Yoav and I drove down to Panama City Beach, Florida for a weekend! It was kind of a long drive, 5 1/2 hours, but it was nice to get out of Atlanta and see the beach for a change! We went to a place called Shell Island the first day, where we laid out on the beach and went snorkeling. There wasn't much to see so we spent most of the time looking for sand dollars, but we did see several dolphins including a mother and calf up close! They were right where we were snorkeling and swimming very close to us! It was very cool!
(Funny story about this bathing suit...it is from Target and at the beach that day I saw a 12 year old wearing the same one...how embarrassing hahaha)
The next day I made Yoav go to Gulf World with me! Gulf World is a small marine park in Panama City Beach! It was not quite as fancy as the Georgia Aquarium, but it was a real cute place with a lot of heart. We saw all the shows and animals, but it was hot as heck so we didn't really spend a lot of extra time there. The cool thing about Gulf World is that it is the only facility in North America that houses rough-toothed dolphins so of course I just HAD to see them! :)
Here's a picture of a chick doing a double rocket in the bottlenose dolphin show...
And here are the rough-toothed dolphins doing bows!
Apparently I can't even go two days away from work without having to get my dolphin fix! I'm obsessed! hahaha
Yoav was able to stay in Atlanta through the 4th of July, so after I got off work we went with a bunch of friends up to a park in Alpharetta to watch fireworks! So fun! (Even though he'll tell you that I was being mean cause I wouldn't let him eat dinner since we were running so late hahah)
Well that's my summer so far. I don't really have any other trips planned or any vacation days requested, so I probably won't be going anywhere else! I'll just have to take advantage of Atlanta's HOT, sunny weather and lay out by my pool getting tan and reading books!
Happy Summer everyone! I leave you with the dolphin photo of the week! <3

That bathing suit story made me laugh. All of my bathing suits are from Target and I always keep an eye out for someone wearing the same one. On the vacation I just went on, my brother's girlfriend and I wore the same one on the same day. At least she and I are close in age!
WHOOPS I was automatically signed in to my work email. That was from me (Annie) - how dumb of me! Classic move.
