Presley and I decided to take a last minute trip to Santa Barbara so that I could attend my 20th year reunion.  I hadn’t been to my 10 year so it was really special to be able to show up for this one.  I did not remember knowing a whole lot of people from high school, just the handful I ate lunch with, because I was so involved with gymnastics during that time.  But being there, and going through yearbooks, and talking with people made me realize that I actually knew a lot more people than I remember.  It was special to feel a connection to my past…some sense of roots.  It is hard to explain but it made me feel more grounded.

And, of course, it was so much fun to travel with little Presley who was a super star the whole time.  We stayed with our friends Jenny and Jon Miller – Jenny who I knew in high school and reconnected with in law school.  They were so sweet to host us and I enjoyed their beautiful view.
