Which Way to Coachella?

Oh hello there. So I was going to start off by saying that music festival season has finished up but I really have no idea if that's true at all. I'm making assumptions since Coachella has come and gone, and that seems to really be the most popular one, or least on the west coast it is. Again, I could be totally wrong about everything. Summer concerts though have definitely not ended though, and so maybe festival season hasn't either! Even though I'm from Chicago which has the increasingly popular Lollapalooza, I've never been and wouldn't think to categorize that in the same boat as Coachella.

        Oh Paris. How I miss your atmosphere, your beauty, and your grace. A dull moment never exists in the City of Lights. From my first trip over spring break back in 2012 with my high school french class to celebrating a Parisian Thanksgiving with my Mom in 2014, it's all been nothing but happy memories. Speaking of mothers, Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there. Especially to mine for allowing me to go to Paris twice  before the age of 20. Wouldn't have been able to make my dreams come true without you. Remember the whole world is thanking you on this day, and we are all eternally grateful for what you provide to us. Thank you Mom!
