On the Boardwalk Layout

So many fantastic memories of the boardwalk. I am so grateful that our family can do this every summer. My children are going to have a huge part of their childhood memories attached to the Jersey Shore. Mostly, those crane games & the gazillion dollars it takes to win a stuffed animal LOL

Oh & let's not forget fried PICKLES! Thanks Snooks... LOL

Pic from Above Layout

Haha this was so funny! Definitely had a good laugh with the stilt walker!

LOOK

I hand wrote on my page! Yay me! Still don't like my handwriting but glad that my kids will have it one day. Plus way easy!

I wrote this about a month ago on the SC message board:

"I have been struggling for years to try to like my handwriting so I could write directly on my pages. I always either type it or hide it in or behind something. I've practiced & practiced through the years. Over the last month or so I have started using the pen I like for scrapbook journaling (uni-ball) for everything I write. I mean everything...even when I jot a short list. I have been writing everything in capital letters too. It's really been helping me after all these years of trying different things. Still not confident to write directly my pages yet. But I'm way close. Just figured I'd share, maybe it will work for you too. :)"

I guess I got my confidence :)

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.
