Whenever my birthday comes around Armand and myself usually take a trip. Whether it be far or close by we always find a way to make the best of my birthday week. This year was no exception. We decided on the West Coast as we'd never seen it,

What a joy it was on my birthday to not only be in California but to be able to travel to Santa Monica Pier and take in all the smells of salt and the Pacific ocean (something I thought I'd personally never see).
