From East to West

June 5, 2011 | Uncategorized

Hello from California!

Since Friday, I have gone from Port Canaveral, FL to Southern California! I am quite tired and jet lagged, but happy to be here! So after my layover in Denver yesterday, I made it to the Ontario airport where Crystal and her sweet boy Kenji picked me up!

I couldn’t get over the mountains everywhere! Even from her backyard.

For lunch, I wanted to go somewhere I have never been, so of course we went to In N Out!

We went to Downtown Disney and had dinner at Storyteller’s Cafe.

It was a buffet, and the food was really good. We walked around Downtown Disney for a bit, I have more pictures I will share with you later.

So, Yes, I am in California, and so glad I get to see Crystal and Kenji, BUT, that’s not my REAL reason for coming out west. Why am I hear? Any ideas? Any guesses? I cannot WAIT to share with you!!

QOTD: WHY am I in California?

    So beautiful! And Kenji is sooooo cute!

    Hmmm, I bet you’re in California because you’ve given up on travel agent-ing and want to be an actress. Good luck at your audition! 😉

🏈🍊 Calling all Tennessee fans! Headed to Atl 🏈🍊 Calling all Tennessee fans! Headed to Atlanta for the big game Aug. 30? Make Signia by Hilton Atlanta your home base (or your pregame headquarters). It’s the closest hotel to Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Atlanta’s newest luxury hotel is packed with everything you need to kick off football season in style— a sports bar next to the stadium, a beautiful Lobby Bar for post-game drinks as you wait out traffic, a serene boutique spa and unbeatable game-day energy.

From rooftop pool vibes + @spasigniaatlanta treatments to cold brews + stadium views at @nestonfour sports bar — and  @capolineaatlanta (one of the best places to eat in downtown Atlanta) — you’ll be right in the heart of the action.

5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 Today she left eleme 5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 

Today she left elementary school to change classes all by herself, do homework on a Chromebook, and basically be a grown up at school. 😭

How did we get here? She was just lifting her arms up saying “mommy, hold you!” And it felt like yesterday. It’s bittersweet watching her grow, but I know she is going to do amazing things. She’s got a special fire inside of her that can’t be taught, and I know it will take her far in life.

Chase your dreams baby girl. We will always be right here cheering you on. 🩷 @theprincessek
