Talk To The Moose

I couldn't not share this one with you guys. Say what you will about the consumerism regarding the holidays (the Gap always being a driving force) - but this is just funny.

San Diego Photo Journal: Coronado Island

I was determined that my first visit to the west coast included a trip to the beach - I'd never seen the Pacific, let alone put my feet in it. A short ferry ride from our hotel was Coronado Island (more of a peninsula, really), and although I only spent a few hours there, I walked the whole width of the island and certainly got a feel for the Cali beach style. As a regular east coast beach vactioner each year, it was refreshing to experience the west coast translation. In short, it - and the beachy breeze - was fresh and lovely. And I got to see dolphins (even if my camera was not as cooperative)!

Coronado also included the silliest thing I saw all week in San Diego - a Segway tour! Watching them scoot around the island was nothing less than cartoonish.

San Diego Photo Journal: Balboa Park

I had a lot of time to myself on this trip, which was nice because it's rare that I get to travel, let alone travel and do only exactly what I want. On an unexpectedly sunny afternoon in San Diego (it was predicted to rain all week - "It's never like this here," I heard from every person I met), I took a stroll through Balboa Park, which was quite lovely. Skipped the zoo (some things really do require more than one person for total enjoyment - bars, restaurants, board games, and zoos - especially at nearly $40 admission), but saw a whole bunch else. My favorite was the colorful yet quaint, summery yet holiday-bedecked Spanish Village Art Center. I just hope the pandas didn't miss me too much.

Fifty People One Question: Post Secret

In my post-San Diego web-surfing stupor (five days with little wi-fi!), I came across this new Fifty People One Question video that I wanted to share with you all immediately. Not only do I love PostSecret, but I love love LOVE this project from Crush + Lovely. Just watch.

Okay, jet-laggy bedtime. Some real blogging to come tomorrow.

So... I didn't leave you guys a note, huh?

Hi all,

"Where are you, Girl in Two Shoes???"

I know, I heard you.

Since it's almost 1:00 a.m., I'll keep this short.

I was in San Diego for about a week. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. You must have been so worried.

Photos to come soon - I promise December won't be a blog-less month!

Your pal (c'mon you know it),
