Bring someone who's never been to your hometown before!
So tonight's my last night in California for the next few months. I'll be back during the holidays. This was a good visit...filled with theme park visits (okay one), trips to the city, factory tours, hanging out with friends & family, visit to a movie studio (Pixar!!!), going through most of my stuff in storage, and a tattoo.....
I got a tattoo....the stars on the Alaskan state flag. It's the most delicate looking of my 7 tattoos. I love it!
The time flew by! This has been my longest trip to California but it's been fun. Normally, I just hang out with family & friends & shop, but this time I got to enjoy the sites and fun activities the Bay Area have to offer.
Oh....and there were sunburns....did I mention I got totally sunburned? Once while just driving around? Where was my sunblock? Right next to me in case I needed it. I obviously need to work on my judgement involving skin care and the sun's rays....good to know. I see a strapless dress is in order for the plane ride home....ouch!
Sister really enjoyed herself here. She's hoping I oversleep and we miss our flight. And since I have been guilty of oversleeping twice during the course of our stay.....it's a real possibility. And she's not even secretly hoping, she's made it clear that if I do oversleep, she's gonna let just keep on sleeping!
I have noticed something. I thought Alaska would make me stronger and tougher. And it has, but I also thought I would start looking tougher....and be less girlie. But I find myself buying more pink. And this is the tote I am bringing home:
Yeah, I dance to the beat of a different drummer....and he's slightly off beat.
Here are some pictures of my trip: Enjoy!!!
