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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Today brought on another extremely low key morning. Mom and I got up and headed out to meet Lindsay and Paul for breakfast. We walked through west Seattle and got croissants at Bakery Nouveau, where the chef has won many an award for baking in France. The food was amazing, though the crowd lining up outside the bakery should’ve been an indication. We got a variety of flaky, buttery treats to try, all just as good as the one that […]

Today was lazy from start to finish. Slept nearly the whole night again, but I’m still sleepy, but that’s neither here nor there! Today we lazed around the hotel in the morning, I used the Treadmill, and then we headed to Downtown Seattle (I almost wrote ‘Downton’ for those fans who will know what I’m talking about) and walked around the shops for a bit. While we were there, we heard from Lindsay, who was off getting her nails done […]

Day two started off with slowly waking up. On the plus, I was able to sleep nearly a full six hours without waking up because of the jet lag (and only then cause I had to go to the bathroom, after which I slept for another hour), which was a nice change from my normal sleep routine. I let myself stay in bed for bit before getting up and heading down to the Starbucks that you can access from the […]

I’ve been doing some mighty fancy things these last couple of days, and living quite incredibly extravagantly which I can afford to do maybe once every other year or so. First there was tea at the Plaza and then there was today, when I had my first experience flying business class across the country (thanks to my mom’s air miles, it was only $75). And thus I present the first in the travel tales posts for my west coast adventure. […]
