Last week: My little trip.

Why was I in Cali? Welp, I was there to visit the Toyota Headquarters. If you missed it, I joined the TWIN a couple weeks ago. AND, right away they sent the new members on over to Cali, to learn some things. I learned a loooot. Not just about cars. I learned about Toyota. What really sticks out to me is all the charity work they do. Yes, every company does charity work… but, I was so impressed with their massive charities they support.

My favorite part was getting to hang out with a beautiful bunch of bloggers (plus, the toyota peeps we hung out with were pretty awesome too). A couple of TWIN ladies I hung around with most: Jenni and Kristi. (And, even Jess).

I also stayed one extra day to hang out with some friends in Cali… I have more photos to share soon… I may have gotten a tattoo. Hee!

P.S. I hate flying. I hate flying. I do not like flying. Goodness. Both landings were rough and I no like. That’s all.

    Those old Toyota's are awesome! I have a Prius, but I wouldn't mind driving one of those classic's, minus the gas!

      I'm pretty much sold on the Prius…. But, then I'd have to buy a new car. Not happening! And, I would looooove the old classic car. Please. In that color.

      Maybe you should leave Hawaii for a trip to Oregon? 😉
