Dancin' In Oregon

So, this year on the family's annual Oregon trip...we danced. Quite a bit.

So..we made a video, or two..or three, actually. But I will only show you one dancing video & the highlights video. {I don't have one of them & the other one I'm saving for something...you'll see ;) } Enjoy watching my crazy family that I love oh so very much!

The Del

There is a strange man in the background in each of these pictures. Okay, well he's not strange per say. But he is indeed in the background of all of 'em. Haha

We went to one of our family's faaavorite spots in the world. The Hotel Del Coronado :)

It's a 124 year old hotel on Coronado Island. It's absolutely gorgeous. Seriously, I could live there & never complain about a single thing for the rest of my life. We have visited & stayed there many times in the past & this year we stayed in San Diego rather than Coronado Island, but we just had to visit The Del. 

I always feel fancy here ;)

We went to Moo Time, a.k.a. the most delicious ice cream place ever {or maybe it has something to do with eating it with my favorite people in my favorite place....maybe} 

I had dark chocolate & banana {nom nom nom!}

It was a super fun weekend & *drumroll, please* this was the last weekend of traveling for  hopefully a long time. Sounds silly, I mean I'm doing all these fun things & going to all these fun places & I'm complaining about it? Yep. I'm wiped out. Completely & totally drained from traveling. I'm pretty sure that combined I've spent like a week driving the past couple months. I'm absolutely thrilled to be staying home this coming weekend. 

When it rains, it pours..well, at least in San Diego it does

I know you can't tell in these pictures, {that's mostly because it hadn't really started yet} but it was absolutely pouring in San Diego on Friday. Seriously, like hurricane status. It was really cold & wet. Everything you'd expect on a vacation to Southern California, yes? {NOT!}

But anyway, these were taken in Old Town San Diego. We were planning to spend a lot more time there to shop & such but, let's get real, besides eating lunch, most of the time there was spent trying to find shelter from the rain. 

Ideas

So, I'm sitting in the car on my way to San Diego just bouncing around ideas of how I might pair some of my clothes from the previous post for this weekend. Hmmm...

None of these are the exact items I brought, they're just similar.

Outfit 1: Button down, striped skirt, ballet flats

Outfit 2: Button down, wide legged jeans, wedges

Outfit 3: Tank, white blazer, bermuda jean shorts, sandals

Outfit 4: Maxi skirt, tank, wedges

Outfit 5: Chambray, wide legged jeans, suede jacket, slip-ons

Outfit 6: Gray cardigan, black blazer, striped skirt, ballet flats

Outfit 7: Simple black dress, suede jacket, ballet flats

Outfit 8: Sundress OR beach coverup, gray cardigan, wedges

:)

Packing List

I'm going to San Diego this weekend {Thursday-Sunday} for vacation with the fam! I'm an insane over-packer, I just always feel like I'll need way more than I actually will. {Or I think I will be changing 3 times a day} So, this is after reducing my luggage amount tremendously. Trust me, it was a lot more before I narrowed it down. Here is what I'm packing & I'm going to try to take pictures each day of what I end up wearing.

p.s. I forgot to take pictures of a couple pairs of sandals, & I figured I didn't need to take pictures of the three pairs of identical black leggings, but I will most certainly be wearing them all. :)

From left to right: F21, F21, H&M, Hollister, Thrifted

: Thrifted, LOFT, F21, American Eagle

: Ever, F21, Thrifted, Thrifted

: JC Penny, Vintage, Heavenly Couture

: Nike, Rue21, Vans, Charlotte Russe

I also brought a couple bathing suits {obviously} & those sandals & leggings I already talked about. So, we'll see if documenting my packing will help not bring so much every time I go somewhere! Haha

8th in the Nation

My high school's dance team that my two cousins, Sara & Rachel are on & is coached by my Aunt Terri & Aunt Judy went to NATIONALS this past weeked! {Sooo exciting!!} 

The girls performed awesome! It was so fun to watch & I'm so happy I was able to go :)

They placed 8th out of 20, which is seriously awesome {at Nationals!!!!} I'm so excited for them & their fancy trophy :) 

{& this is just a picture of Las Vegas on the way home because the sky was the coolest shade of blue, haha}

Huntington Beach

Ruby's Diner..sooo good!

As I said I was, I went to California this weekend for the dance competition. Our first stop was at Huntington Beach, it was pretty cloudy & cold, so I didn't even bother getting in my swim suit {although a few of the girls did & got in the water & everything!} But it was a ton of fun! That beach is so beautiful & Ruby's is so delish. :)

Just Hanging Out In a Retirement Community

 This is like the third flowy blouse I've bought like this. They're all a little different, but they're the same material & kind of fit the same way. When I bought the first one I was just kind of taking a chance because wasn't like anything I've ever owned before. But they're my three favorite shirts now..Funny how that works. :P

These pictures were taken at my Grandma's retirement community in Arizona when I visited for Spring Break. I actually had to crop a whole group of senior citizens out of the background of one of them...I just thought it was kinda funny.. haaa
