Discover Balboa Park Layout

This layout is from the very last day of our honeymoon. We checked out of "The Del" (that's what everyone who goes there calls it) & had a 9PM flight back to NY so needless to say we had some time. I had planned our honeymoon itinerary before we even left for San Diego. Which by the way, my husband made fun of. I always need a plan LOL. 

Anyway,

Balboa Park is absolutely stunning, The architecture is stunning. The weather was stunning! Couldn't ask for a better way to end our honeymoon, well except for going to Island Prime for dinner before our flight. (that's another layout for another time)

We we're really tired at this point so walking through & taking pics was very relaxing & serene. We even stepped into the Museum of Natural History which is located in the Park. 

The trolley ride from the parking lot was so fun. Felt like we stepped back into time. Wish I could have seen what went on in these homes when they were first built. Think I'll be doing some research because I'm so intrigued. 

Loved being able to use the flag as part of my title!

Paper Tales Layout

Well I absolutely needed to visit a scrapbook store while I was on the West Coast! Yes it was my honeymoon & yes my new husband was very gracious about it all. We actually had some time before we could check into hotel so we went to brunch (This will be another post because it was the bomb diggity of brunches) & then we headed to Paper Tales. Such a delightful little store. Wish I had more room in my suitcase to buy more LOL. I was actually thinking of mailing it to myself so I could. BUT I figured that would be pushing it, I was on my honeymoon after all. 

The thickers used on this page was actually purchased at the store. Also love the cute Prima flower that I used to replicate the pretty pom poms they had hanging in the store. Wish I lived there....I would be there an awful lot :)

I also kept the page busy because it makes me scour the photo. I love searching it & seeing all that scrappy goodness!

San Diego (Palm Trees) Layout

This is one of the very first shots I took after getting off the plane on our honeymoon. We had to stop to put the directions for La Jolla  in Tom Tom.(We were having brunch there before heading to Coronado) Well,  I looked up & was so impressed with the Palm Trees in San Diego. So much prettier than the ones I've seen in Florida. Or much more regal. They are so tall. This was just the beginning of a beautiful honeymoon. There's more to come!
