On our last day in Las Vegas, Dean and I took a tour of the Neon Museum- an outdoor ‘boneyard’ of elaborate neon signs. The tour was phenomenal. We loved hearing stories about the city’s flashy past and almost every sign had a good story to go with it: Sinatra riding a camel up to […]
On our first full day in Las Vegas, Dean and I hoofed it off-strip to the Atomic Testing Museum. Like most right-thinking people, I am terrified of nuclear weapons… but that fear is matched by fascination. We loved this place! It’s chock full of information on the Nevada Test Site and the history of the […]
It’s been two weeks since we visited the gaudy, glittering gem that is Las Vegas but I’m only now going through our photos and diary scribblings. This was such a happy weekend! The Strip is like a series of whacky cover songs with celebrity and city impersonators. Everything’s lit up like Christmas and the streets […]
I’m a giant sap about Disneyland because it’s where Dean proposed to me a couple years ago. We went for the second time last weekend with David and Kristy- it was the raddest double date! A few pseudo-vintage phone photos: Sleeping Beauty’s pastel, Bavarian dream-castle. I’m being completely sincere when I say my heart turns […]
These are my last photos from vacation, taken mostly on my phone while shuffling around Granville. I know neon signs are wasteful but I love the sight of a city lit up at night- my small town heart will never get over the gimmicks. It’s tacky to end happy vacation photos on a sad note […]
Sight seeing day: Tossing a penny into the library fountain below. Wishes for the fishes. Vancouver’s super cool library- a classy colosseum outfitted with skylights, books, and a bubble tea shop. Space Invader office, yesss. Off to Stanley Park! Caught mid-sweep at Brockton Point The Skedans mortuary pole (on the right) with moons and bears […]
More photographs from our weekend in Vancouver: There were a few herons in Stanley Park but we were awfully close to this one. Puffing up in annoyance at the tourists (like me), then relenting for pictures. Barnacles on everything. It’s hard to walk around without slipping and crunching but I kinda love that. Vancouver is […]
This weekend, Dean and I took a trip up to Vancouver (our first time seeing Canada on the West Coast!). The thing I most look forward to on vacation is eating out and Vancouver did not disappoint. I recently broke up with two of my greatest loves, meat and cheese, and thankfully this was no […]
Our little jaunt in Portland was fantastic. We drove down with friends and stayed at the sweetest waterfront apartment (airbnb!). Dean and I bought too many books, ate too much junk food, and enjoyed the sunny weekend with our friends. Here’s what we picked up at Stumptown Comics Fest. It was mini comic heaven. I […]
[image from this flickr. This wasn't quite our view- but this shot is gorgeous and perfectly captures the evening- I love it!] I still get a rush thinking about how great this show was. Pulp opened with ‘Do You Remember the First Time’ and the crowd broke into a wave of manic jumping and a […]
