Road Trip!

My girlfriends and I decided the other day that we need a vacation. We haven't gone on a vacation -just us girls- in two years. Since our schedules are so hectic and different, we decided it was better to plan something sooner than later. So we decided to drive from Los Angeles to Vancouver June 30-July 4th. I'm not sure if that's enough time to make it back because we also want to stop and see the sights. Does anyone have any suggestions on what we should see and visit? I'm so excited! I've never been on a road trip before.

Right now, I'm also working on one of these:

I've never done amigurumi before so I'm excited to learn something new other than granny squares. I'm almost done- I just need to work on the body. On my first try, it started to look like a cone. I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Click on the image if you want to find out more about it.
Well, I'm off to join my classmate. We need to put a rough cut together for our documentary. It's not the best feeling since I'm sick, my head feels like it's going to explode, my sinuses hurt and I can't hear that well. yay :/
Happy Monday!

  1. Hi! I am also doing the owl crochet-along and I found your blog on the list of participants.

    I have a few suggestions your your vacation! Definitely stop in San Francisco, if you haven't seen some sites there check out the Presidio, Fisherman's Wharf, Golden Gate Park, Height Street, and if you have time Alcatraz!

    Portland would be cool to stroll around as well, check out the downtown area and the artsy Pearl District. Then head NW to 23rd and 21st street in the NW District off of Everett St., there are a lot of cool shops and eateries there.

    I haven't been much further than Portland, but Seattle should be pretty cool to check out too!

    Have fun! Can't wait to see some owls!

  7. That's awesome Karisse! I think we might fly back on the 4th because we might get tired of driving at that point.

  8. Okay so I've been looking through blogs all day (how lame so I sound already) Anyway, yours is probably my favorite. SO nicely done I can tell you but lots of thought and effort into it!
