Last Tuesday marked the last day before my brother left to go back to college, so we went to Laguna Beach to enjoy the ocean and to try a place we've been meaning to try. Watermarc is located right on PCH and offers contemporary takes on flat breads, burgers, sandwiches, and salads among other dishes. During the summer, I usually crave mozzarella and fresh Italian food, so this Burrata Mozzarella Flat Bread was perfect for me. The burrata was creamy and helped to offset the richness of the pesto, while the sprouts and balsamic vinegar added a nice acidic element to it.

To give you an idea of what my brother, Ted, is like, here is a photo of him flicking off the camera. It started as a way to stop my dad from taking so many photos during vacations. He would flick off the camera and I would death glare, but now it's just a habit of his. Other than that, I thought I'd let you know I'm wearing a Marc by Marc Jacobs jacket, a Marc Jacobs necklace, an H&M shirt, 7 for All Mankind shorts, and a Kimchi Blue purse.

I'm not necessarily the best Californian. I don't tan well, I never learned how to surf, and I suck at beach volleyball, but California is still a nice place to be. Being close to Los Angeles and Disneyland means that good concerts come my way and being close to Newport Beach means there will never be a shortage of luxurious things to fill my time with. It also means that I can go to the desert, mountains, beach, or city whenever I want. Overall, I don't mind living in California. With college coming up, I think I'll apply to a lot of schools in my home state, but I will apply to some in big cities too. Who knows where I'll end up?
