Marie was in California?

I visited my friend Stacey in California last month, and we had a great time tooling around seeing presidential libraries, the coast, and Napa.   We’ve been friends since we were in kindergarten, which is saying a lot.  Our parents still see each other every once in a while in our hometown.
