Vacation Time!

Well we did it! We took our first vacation this last week! We flew down to San Diego and stayed for a week! It was so much fun! We tried new food, went to the beach (a REAL one, not like the "beaches" here in Oregon), visited a ton of museums and even went to the San Diego Zoo!! It was great to get away and be somewhere completely new. I don't know why, but I somehow didn't end up taking many pictures of our trip....I know what kind of person am I!!??? well I finally got some of the ones I did take off the camera, and here they are! So if you are ever in San Diego I highly recommend going to Balboa Park and seeing all of the awesome museums there, and of course the San Diego Zoo! As for food, well if you are vegan/vegetarian (although they do have some chicken and fish meals) and you are in Oceanside you MUST go to the Hill Street Cafe! OMG they are amazing! After we found this place I think we ate there three out of the 5 days we were there. If vegan/vegetarian food is not your thing and burgers are more your thing try the Burger Lounge my husband LOVED their burgers, as for me well they did have 1 thing on the menu that I could eat that was vegan, and that was their quinoa salad. Let me just say that it was absolutely delicious! and the portions where HUGE! So I would order half a salad unless you are completely ravenous ;) Oh and did I mention that It was partially a work trip for me too?? I am now licenced to teach Zumba Sentao! Woohoo!!

 

 

 

Red Sunset

Quinceanera and the Mountain

OK so I know that I'm like way way late in posting what I did this last weekend but hey I guess later better than never right? right?....So for the past month I was asked by a group of teenagers if I could choreograph two dances that they wanted to do for a girl's quinceanera (sweet 15) and the big day finally came and they did great of course! Then the next day we decided to go out on an adventure once again and go to a big flea market in a neighboring state. It was so much fun! I loved the drive, although I was sleeping the whole way up, but I was awake for the drive back hahaha. Anyway here are some pictures of my weekend!

 

 

The Forest...

This weekend we went out on an adventure to search for some huckleberries up in the woods. So after driving an hour and a half we see that there are A BUNCH of people picking berries EVERYWHERE! So we ended up only picking about a handful because either 1) they aren't fully ripe yet 2) they picked them all. So we gave up on the search for huckleberries and decided to explore the various roads on the mountain.

Another Hiking Adventure, This Time Waterfalls...

I don't know if you've been noticing, but i've been going on a lot of hiking adventures lately. And i've got to say I'm LOVING IT!! I'm so glad that I have a group of friends that love to go on adventures. Here are a few (ok a lot) of pictures of some of the waterfalls we hiked to this weekend. We had planned on hiking to two waterfalls since they were on the same trail but then on our way back home we stumbled upon (we like to think undiscovered) a third waterfall right off the highway a ways.

I warn you there are a billion pictures

waterfall no.1

waterfalls no.2

SO BEAUTIFUL!!

stone castle, it was pretty cool. I secretly live here...

these were our (newly discovered) waterfalls :)

yes, we encountered a rare animal while hiking. We encountered a rare hiking cat. :D

this beautiful compas was on the top of the stone castle!

Door?

Yes, I took a picture of the inside of my door in my store. Why? Because I LOVE the texture on it! While I was at it I took a picture of one of the old cars next to my building too.

My Weekend in Pictures

This weekend was crazy! Although I think they are going to be for the next several months. But that is a good thing, i'm one of those people that can't stand to sit in one spot for too long. It drives me absolutely NUTS!! I really don't know how people can sit around and do nothing all day (i.e watch TV or play video games 24/7) I literally feel like ripping my hair out if I am sitting down on the couch on the computer or watching TV for too long, I think my max is 3 hours before I have to get up and do something else. It might explain why we don't go out to the movies much. Anyways, I got off topic. Here are a few pictures of what I did this weekend.

Warning: I took a TON of pictures! So prepare yourself!  :)

On Friday the kids had a performance for Honor Senior Day and they danced Los Viejitos

they also had some of  the little kids dressed up in full Native American attire and danced it was so cute!

on Saturday I went hiking with a few friends to Smith Rock and it was amazing! The day couldn't have been more perfect!

after I touched him he ran away...so I took a picture of him before he completely disappeared

On Sunday the kids were asked to dance at the local church to help celebrate mother's day
