C. A. VACA

mmm... cali, i miss you already.

i feel like i didn't take as many pictures as i should've, but then again, i still have to develop pictures from Betsy. {i hope it worked!}




things i loved:
- forgetting what day of the week it was.
- bob's donuts (san fran, on polk and sacramento) PLEASE GO HERE! Oh my, most amazing delicious savory doughnut I've ever consumed in my ENTIRE life.
- crepes.
- homemade cheesecake made by chris.
- california food in general.
- the absolute perfect temperature.
- the glorious city feeling in San Fran.

things i didn't love:
- Nevada... way boring. all they have is desert, prisons, casinos, and Vegas... do we see any correlation?
- the gallons of salt water i got in my nose, ears, and mouth.

and here are the pictures!




farmer's market love.



charming little book store in san fran.


jason really likes smiling.

san fran at night when the fog was rolling in

BART.



favorite seth quotes from the trip:


- me: "why are you licking it?" (talking about a reese's peanut butter cup)
seth: "because there are loose pieces of chocolate that I don't want on my person."
- "hey, if I were a critter on your belt would we still be friends?"
- "a suction cup of an octupus??!!!!"
- "Jalene, have you ever considered becoming a prison guard?"
- and the best one was a good ten minute long story about Noah talking to his wife about building a boat... I SO wish I had it on video.

my only semi-good picture of the coast as we were driving.

i love everything about this photo.
the character.
the lighting.
the teal colored booths at peter's diner.




from the pier at night.

"hey jas, can you stop playing doodle-jump for one second and take a picture with us?"

such a character.

Oh yes, and did I mention I learned how to SURF????!!!!!
i got up the first time! it was amazing and blissful
and fun and i loved it so much.

my teacher?

long-time surfer friend of mine named Chris, resident of O-side.
he's one cool dude.

that's him.

and my favorite photos of the trip.

i've kind of fallen in love with night photography, i think.

san diego temple.


i love vacations.



the end.
