I'm guessing this guy was a dancer and needed some new profile shots?

Us riding the escalator. Just a regular every day life experience that really is so much better when you're on vacation.

South Coast Plaza Shopping Center. The Garden Bridge.

 We left on a Thursday afternoon. I had to teach piano lessons until noon that day so we packed everything in the car and he dropped me off at the school early in the morning. After teaching he picked me up and we drove to his sister's so she could take us to the airport. He kept me in the dark until I finally saw our destination listed on my ticket. My first reaction was excitement followed by immediate concern as I realized I hadn't packed travel sized containers of face wash, lotions, shampoos, etc. I explain this to James and he looks at me and says, "Really? Can you show me?" I open my toiletries bag and stare at it like I must've somehow grabbed someone else's stuff. Apparently that morning after he dropping me off, he drove back to the house to repack my things. All of it was in perfect little containers and ziplocked for flying. Sweet man.

California was beautiful. We spent two days in busy L.A. and two days in Orange County shopping and seeing the sights. We ended the trip with this beautiful sunset on our last night. Anyone else have a fun anniversary story? I'd love to hear it!

Death Valley

Fear not, the title of this blog has absolutely nothing to do with my current state of mind. In fact, I feel mountainously happy at the moment. I just returned from a fantastic vacation, part of which was spent camping in the Death Valley National Park of California. My favorite sight was the sand dunes at dusk...


Second favorite was the Badwater salt flats...


God's creation is so vast and that speaks only of what is visible...I cannot begin to imagine what heaven will be like. 

P.S. Props to my hubby James for his fine photography skills.
