Travel Tales: Minnesota, August 21-25

August 26, 2012 by kelerr

I took a brief break from the travel tales posts when I headed to Minnesota last Tuesday. It was nice to stay away from the computer for a bit, actually, though I was hardly away from the internet entirely (phone). It worked out for the best, in any case, since my days in the mid-west were a lot more low-key than the ones on the west coast. And by low-key, I more or less mean I didn’t take as many […]

A West Coast Adventure, Day Fourteen: Disneyland

August 21, 2012 by kelerr

Today we spent twelve hours scouring and exploring Disneyland! It was fun and exhausting. The End. Seriously… we actually did spend the whole day at Disneyland, getting there early enough to have extremely short waits on a lot of the popular rides, and then braving our way through the heat of the day, ending up in the California Adventure Park. I’m exhausted, and still have to get ready for tomorrow’s travel day, and so I’ll leave off with some pictures:

A West Coast Adventure, Day Thirteen: Of Boats and Brunch

August 19, 2012 by kelerr

Today was a full day of eating and walking, mostly in that order. Mom, Cindy (aunt), Laura (cousin), Harmony (cousin’s daughter) and I started the day with brunch on the Queen Mary. For those unfamiliar, the Queen Mary is a docked ocean liner in Long Beach. It used to make transatlantic crossings, but now it acts as a hotel and museum, with a number of restaurants. To celebrate my cousin Laura’s 25th birthday, we headed to the champagne brunch, an […]

A West Coast Adventure, Day Twelve: Hooray for Hollywood

August 19, 2012 by kelerr

Our first full day in Los Angeles was full of activity, pretty much from beginning to end. First off, we are now staying with my aunt Cindy for a few days (and technically with my cousin Laura as well, though she lives in the downstairs apartment and we’re sleeping at Cindy’s). I’ve never been here before, but she lives in West Hollywood in a cute little apartment. When we arrived last night (since I was so insistent upon doing the […]

A West Coast Adventure, Days Ten and Eleven: Lazy Days

August 17, 2012 by kelerr

Yes, today IS day eleven and it’s only 9:18 a.m. where I am, but I forgot yesterday’s post and as today is already proving to be a no-picture, laze around the house and just relax and enjoy being on vacation day, I figured I’d just include it with day ten. If anything exciting should prove to happen later, I will amend this post to showcase it. However, other than transferring from the San Diego area to Los Angeles, nothing of […]

A West Coast Adventure, Day Nine: The San Diego Zoo

August 16, 2012 by kelerr

Today was our first full day in San Diego… well, technically Escondido, where the house is that we’re staying. It belongs to my mom’s friend, and it’s beautiful! It has wonderful views from the back porch deck and a little spa/hot tub in the front (which I haven’t used yet, but plan on doing so tomorrow!). This morning after waking up, we lazed around the house. I got to watch last week’s Project Runway (for which I WILL do a […]

A West Coast Adventure, Day Eight: Notes from the Road, Part Two

August 15, 2012 by kelerr

Today was a long and tiring day of driving but as I type this I am happy to say that we are situated in San Diego… well, really just outside of San Diego, but close enough… in an awesome house owned by a friend of mom’s. Wait until tomorrow when you see this (for today’s post is about the open road)! We started the day with breakfast in San Francisco. Nothing exciting, just the hotel breakfast. Then I decided I […]

A West Coast Adventure, Days Six and Seven: Notes from the Road, Part One

August 14, 2012 by kelerr

Yes, a lengthy title for a post that will likely also be lengthy, though that may be in visual more so than my writing. To sum up the last two days, we’ve been on the road. Mom and I left Seattle on Sunday, after having brunch with Shane, Mike and their families. It was there that we also parted ways with Lindsay and Paul, at least until early next week when I head to Minnesota to meet them. They headed […]

A West Coast Adventure, Day Five: Wedding Bells

August 12, 2012 by kelerr

Today was all about the wedding of Shane and Mike.  From early morning until late at night we celebrated, first heading over to Shane’s house to help prepare and get everything ready for the day.  I took over 300 pictures today so this post will truly be just a sampling of them and, in fact, will also serve as narration for today. Before I begin, I just have to say how lovely the wedding was.  It was officiated by Mike […]
