San Diego trip update

Here are some pics of my trip to San Diego. Got there Wednesday night and it was a busy, busy, busy couple of days all thru Tuesday morning when I left. Took me an extra week to recover-ha! It was awesome seeing my San Diego friends after so many months and Robyn's wedding and events were all awesome.

Bridal Shower
Held at our friend Alex's Bamboo Lounge.

Bachelorette & Lingerie Party
Here are the PG-13 pictures (just kidding!). It was so much fun. I am so lucky to have such a cool group of friends!! The morning after was a different story. I was worth about 3 pesos!

The Wedding
Beautiful day at Cardiff by the Sea. The wedding was beautiful and Robyn and Todd looked super happy.

Loved seeing this on our way to the Bridal Shower. A car was blocking my view so Kelley took the picture.



Meet Chuey, my friend Tanya's dog. We had to take him to the vet's office Monday morning because he injured his paw playing at dog park on Sunday afternoon. poor guy!

Portland Japanese Garden

My mom, dad and grandma arrived Saturday morning in Portland. We got to see a little of the Rose Parade, had some lunch at a restaurant I can't remember the name of right now, but it was good and visited the Japanese Garden which is stunning. It was raining but I had read that we should still go visit with the rain and we did, I took all of our umbrellas just in case. The garden didn't have too many visitors. We were able to take a walking tour as soon as we got there. It was so peaceful and beautiful.

my little sunshines

I finally finished the shadowbox I have been working on for a couple of months. I finished the background ages ago but got stuck because I didn't have enough pictures of my niece and nephews. So the shadowbox had been on the floor of my scrapbooking room awaiting pictures. My mom brought some great pics of my niece and nephews so I finished it this past weekend. The best thing is that the pictures aren't glued. I used a pin to keep them in place so I can change the pics for new ones. very cool!

Pike Place Market

Today we headed to Pike Place Market. Love all the photo opportunities in this place and walking thru the alleys and finding new cool stores. Discovered a tea shop, spanish market and latin market today. Forgot to take pictures with me in them. Sometimes I just rather take the pictures.

Spirit of Washington

Mark's dad and grandma took us to the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train this past Saturday. We did lunch instead of dinner and rode on the City of Renton Super Dome car. The ride took us from downtown Renton to Woodinville and back. In Woodinville we visited the Columbia Winery and did some wine tasting. The views were great, wine tasting was great, lunch was great, the company was great. Had a great time! Here are some pictures.
