Road Trip Scrapbook - Finished!

It took me quite a while to take some snapshots of our finished scrapbook from our 2013-2014 road trip. I find that making scrapbooks for everyday life is a little boring and I can't motivate myself to keep up. I tend to make scrapbook for things like road trips and vacations, like I did for my 2012 visit to New York (when I unexpectedly got engaged AND married) although I still haven't made a scrapbook for our formal wedding ceremony OR our honeymoon! Talk about inconsistent!

Going through and looking at these scrapbooks brings back so many great memories that just plain photo snapshots couldn't capture.

In fact, I don't know why I even stopped adding to this scrapbook! I still have a ton of Instax film, there are still tons of empty pages in the Smashbook and my scrapbook kit I put together for travel is still in its box. I think I will resume scrapping until I run out of space! Let's make it a promise. Maybe I will do a biweekly update of my progress on the blog as well.

A Day of Selfies in L.A.

We did a super touristy day in Los Angeles. Joe had never been to Hollywood before so we took the day to go to Hollywood Boulevard and see the Walk of Fame and the Chinese Theatre. He wouldn't put his hands on any of the handprints but I got him to agree put his feet on Donald Ducks prints. We had breakfast at Mel's Diner and then took a super cheesy tour bus around Beverly Hills, Mulholland Drive, Farmers Market and Rodeo Drive. It was pretty silly but also pretty fun. We could have driven up Mulholland Drive ourselves but we wouldn't have known which houses belonged to which people. I also think it's pretty strange that these people live in places where tour buses drive around regularly so that tourists can take pictures!

Later in the day we went to Hermosa Beach to hang out and wait for my friend to get home from work. I love that whole area of Los Angeles!  Redondo beach, Manhattan beach and Hermosa are so beautiful. It's the only place in L.A. I would ever want to live.
