slowly but surely we continue to cross items off of our adventure list! (psst -read about our adventures at the leucadia farmer's market, in la jolla, and at the liberty public market). our latest weekend excursion took us to the quirky city of north park, just north of downtown san diego. from its mural-covered walls to ...
i mentioned before that one of the main intentions of enacting a month of adventures was to get S and i out exploring our city. we tend to stay in a 10-mile radius on the weekends so it has been refreshing to uncover different parts of san diego, especially as newlyweds. one place that had been ...
admittedly la jolla is one of those places i never think to visit. mostly for the fact that i spend 80% of my week navigating its narrow streets en route to my day job. so come saturday, naturally my preference is to stay north of the i805/i5 interchange. BUT this month is about getting out of ...
we decided to kick-off the adventures with shawna leeann series a weekend early with a trip to the leucadia farmer's market. the spring weather has been pretty perfect lately and sunday was no exception. after picking up iced coffees, we headed westward and enjoyed a leisurely morning wandering the aisles of the market. loft top || ...
with just over three months of marriage now under our belts, S and i are really starting to feel settled in our home. though he moved into the townhouse i've owned for now almost 10 years, we've made a lot of changes (correction he has made a lot of changes) to make it feel like ours. from fresh interior ...
forget sunday funday, i'm making monday funday a thing. yesterday i played hookie (and by "played hookie" i mean i did the upstanding thing and used a paid vacation day) so S and i could have our very own shawn(a)palooza. (as opposed to shawnuary which was just celebrated in june). since S had the entire week off of work, i ...
my life just feels really small, i thought. i mean, understandably so, i had just gotten back from a vacation of a lifetime -one with marsupials and dinners out and new cities to explore every few days. anything would pale in comparison. on any other given day, i would have welcomed my "you can set a watch by my ...
this weekend M sent me the last few photos from the roll of film we shot during our final leg of our australian adventures together. after what seems like a lifetime, these handful of photographs transported me back to the sands of hog bay, the vineyards of the barossa valley, the picturesque surroundings of maggie ...
photo credit: M. i've debated writing this last recap at all. somehow, penning an "epilogue" just brings so much finality, and if given the choice, i would live inside this little australian snowglobe (sunglobe?) for perpetuity. but like all good things, even the most wonderful of adventures must come to an end and therefore, it ...
i woke up sunday morning with a feeling of dread. i quickly shut my eyes and tried to escape this bad dream. was it really already time for me to fly back to america? had my time in australia whizzed by me at lightning speed? i let M sleep as i showered and got dressed ...
